Product Lifecycle Management: Sustainability and knowledge management as keys in a complex system of product development
Abstract: The PLM process is
developing methodologies to support sustainable production during the whole
product lifecycle. The present research makes a focus on the first phase
product development (the design phase) that is significant to set future costs
and environmental impacts. This research analyzes important tools that could be
used by PLM to formalize knowledge for sustainable new products development in
a company. It offers an overview and compares different approaches to share
knowledge, to carry out innovation and to reduce CO2 emissions, materials and
energy, as well as developing regulation compliance treated as a design
requirement from the conceptual phase through the entire product lifecycle.
