Life cycle assessment (LCA) is used to estimate a product’s environmental impact. Using LCA during the earlier stages of design may produce erroneous results since information available on the product’s lifecycle is typically ...

Design for Environment (DfE) is an approach to design where all the environmental impacts of a product are considered over the entire life cycle of a product. Most DfE tools are conceptual in nature, and there is little ...

There are methods and technologies developed for generation and evaluation of product proposals for better environmental efficiency throughout the lifecycle. But in use phase these are not effective due to complexity of ...

Design can substantially affect the life cycle of a product. During design there is a need to consider the whole life cycle rather than a single phase of a product life cycle. Different approaches on life cycle design are ...

There exists an urgency for organizations all over the world to consider sustainable supply chain strategy in product development. Every firm needs to provide a safe working environment and reduce its ecological footprint ...

The main purpose of this paper is to study the critical success factors (CSFs) of the blockchain technology (BCT) adoption in green supply chain management (GSCM) which might be literally afirst attempt and also propose ...

Six sigma a statistically based quality improvement methodology, leads to breakthrough in product / process quality,customer satisfaction and productivity. The concept of six sigma was pioneered at Motorola in the 1980's ...

The main aim of the present study is to explore field of Six Sigma and discover the limitation of the present research work. The study also tries to find emerging aspects, trends and future directions and explore unfocused ...

The thermal properties of the new copper–titania hybrid nanocomposite embedded organic ester phase change material (HNPCM) were analyzed experimentally. The surface functionalized hybrid nanocomposite (HyNC) embedded into ...

The present work focuses on synthesizing graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) incorporated amorphous silicon oxycarbide ceramic (Si-O-C) for hydrogen adsorption. The changes in the structure of the ceramic upon addition of GNP has ...
