Abstract
This chapter is to illustrate the integrated approach for sustainable product development with a case study of a raised access flooring product which consists of a floor panel made of sheet moulding compound material, a support stringer and pedestals. The product development process presented in this chapter focuses on the sustainable production process, including elaboration of product design specification, conceptual design, detail design, prototyping and testing, and manufacture. The other phases of the product life cycle, such as product in service, and the end-of-life product treatment are also considered in the product life cycle assessment. Various sustainable methods, such as life cycle analysis and eco-manufacture, and tools, such as life cycle impact assessment and finite element analysis, are integrated in the production process.
