Customized product design scheme selection model with a focus on integration of environmental attributes

Green Manufacturing (GM) is an inevitable trend of the sustainable development of manufacturing enterprise. In order to reduce environmental damage and save resources Green Design (GD) is a key. Customized product design scheme selection taking into account the environmental considerations is a practical approach for reducing the resource consumption and negative environmental impacts in customized production. This paper presents a scheme selection model with a focus on integration of environmental attributes that assists designers and consumers in choosing among options. The environmental evaluation factors are then identified to weigh the scheme. Meanwhile, the mathematics representations of fuzzy words are described to get the restrictions of the model. Next, the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) is applied to solve the model. Finally, the feasibility and applicability of this proposed model is demonstrated via a case study of push-pull door.
