Abstract

Manufacturing Product development Supply chain Sustainability
Manufacturing companies continue to struggle with simultaneously assessing and reducing supply chain costs and carbon footprint early in the design process as consumers demand more sustainable products. An integrated product design-supply chain design approach is explored and applied to bicycle design. It is shown that the approach can successfully inform decision-makers on the consequences of their choices even when component alternatives are similar.
