Title: Integrated Framework for Life Cycle-Oriented Evaluation of Product and Process Technologies: Conceptual Design and Case Study
Abstract: In order to capture long-term effects of technology decisions regarding technical, economic or ecological targets of a company and its supply chain partners, life cycle-oriented evaluation of product and process technologies is necessary. For enabling a systematic evaluation, methodological support is needed. Thus, this chapter presents a framework for life cycle-oriented evaluation of product and process technologies consisting of three pillars: generic product, life cycle and process models, a decision theory-based procedure model allowing a structured and integrated evaluation, and a method and tool set. The framework will be illustrated by a case study of life cycle-oriented evaluation of alternative technologies for manufacturing mountain bike-frame components.
