Eco-Design Case-Based Reasoning Tool: The Integration of Ecological Quality Function Deployment and Case-Based Reasoning Methods for Supporting Sustainable Product Design

Several methods and tools have been developed to facilitate sustainable product design, but they lack critical application of the ecological design (eco-design) process and economic costing, particularly during the conceptual design phase. This research study overcomes these deficiencies by integrat...

It proposes an eco-design case-based reasoning tool that is integrated with the recently developed ecological quality function deployment method, which supports sustainable product design.
