摘要：In the early stages of product development, designers need to take environmental performance into account together with traditional design objectives. Sustainable products are products that are fully compatible with nature throughout their entire life cycle. This paper presents a case study in which the integration of environmentally conscious quality function deployment (ECQFD) and life cycle assessment (LCA) has been applied to enable sustainable product development of an electric vehicle. In this study, ECQFD has been used to handle environmental and traditional quality requirements of the product, whereas LCA has been used for assessing the environmental impact of products and processes. A cost model has been developed by integrating production and environmental costs as well as the technical status of an old part product for reuse. The results obtained from the case study reveal that integration of ECQFD and LCA considers the equal importance of environmental requirements to the traditional requirements of cost and quality thereby ensuring sustainability in product design in an electric vehicle.
