摘要: This paper reports some results from a major research project on the integration of environmental issues into design in electrical and electronic industry. Product development practice ecodesign methods were examined along with qualitative data 19 manufacturers, using interviews an action methodology. A four-stage framework for resulted: first, to make assessment life cycle viewpoint; then communicate analysis collect feedback; thirdly prioritize finally complete relevant tools methods. 'ARPI' (analyse, report, prioritize, improve) applies both strategic operational levels. Initial testing collaborating companies highlighted difficulties communication teams; role 'ecodesign champions' is explained. Other challenges are customized training designers. The study concludes that prioritization step critical, as it simplifies clarifies tasks take place after formulation specification. Copyright (C) 2000 John Wiley Sons, Ltd. ERP Environment.
