Integrated Product and Service Engineering versus Design for Environment — A Comparison and Evaluation of Advantages and Disadvantages

  • Conference paper
Advances in Life Cycle Engineering for Sustainable Manufacturing Businesses

Abstract

The objective with this paper is to, from several perspectives including those found in the traditional Design for Environment (DfE) literature, compare and evaluate advantages and disadvantages between the concepts of DfE and Integrated Product and Service Engineering (IPSE). Lessons learned from the use of DfE have been integrated into the IPSE methodology.

One conclusion is that IPSE is a promising approach to take the environmental related requirements that DfE tries to promote one step further, i.e. to be better integrated with other types of offering-related requirements. In short, IPSE opens up for a more balanced development of offerings.
