Abstract :
In this paper we demonstrate the use of the Emerging Product Process and Consideration of Environment (EPPACE) mixed integer programming model to evaluate the effect of a lead tag or limits placed on availability of lead on economic decisions for product and process design. The paper concludes with directions for future study. Other questions that might be answered using the EPPACE model are discussed
