Abstract

Globally, sustainable product design is an issue that has been receiving more academic attention around the world. Understanding the sustainability-related design decisions seems to be important to ensuring sustainable design. Based on a stance, this study attempted to quantify sustainability factors in the product design through a hybrid method which combines the fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM) and the system dynamics (SD) approaches. Designer behavior with regard to sustainability criteria was simulated in Vensim and sourced through sessions of two groups who deal with sustainable design. The results provide an easy-to-understand model of sustainable design to help designers analyze the dynamics of the cause-and-effect relationships between factors of sustainable design and long term scenarios, therefore, different scenarios at the inter and intra-cluster levels were built to determine the impacts of variable changes on the model developed.
