Abstract :
This paper outlines a design tool that incorporates environmental and quality concerns into a traditional simulation environment. The Design Tool for Assessing Manufacturing Environmental Impact (DTAME) allows a user to concurrently consider the impact of environmental, quality, cost and production attributes early in the product life cycle. DTAME aids in making environmentally conscious decisions and allows designers to understand the consequences of their decisions regarding manufacturing options
