Last modified: 2014-09-11
Abstract
The objective of this paper is to follow the consequences on the product environmental impact of the industrial strategy through the product development process. Students were observed while designing a bicycle luggage carrier for tracing a cause-effect network that would link the strategy to the designed product and its environmental impact. The results show the strategy's influence through the design process at a macro-level.
