The proposed research targets advancing the state of knowledge on rational design decisions in sustainable product design in order to enable a better understanding of the consequences of those decisions from an overall design perspective. The proposed research method will advance the current available capabilities for product and process design by integrating LCA into decision making for engineering design. The work intends to result in a novel decision method, and related decision support tools, for sustainable design. The methods and tools to be developed reflect the standards established in NISTs sustainability portal, and complement and enhance the capabilities of PLM tools.The outcomes of the proposed work have the potential to facilitate the design of more sustainable products that could significantly improve both the environment and the economy on a global scale. The work is supported by the Industry Advisory Board as well as individual industry members of the center and has the potential to extend the centers portfolio. The PIs plan to introduce the developed research methods in the graduate courses at UMass Amherst and the University at Buffalo SUNY as well as develop coordinated prototype educational tools to benefit the centers collaborators and industry partners.

拟议的研究目标是提高可持续产品设计中合理设计决策的知识水平，以便从整体设计的角度更好地理解这些决策的后果。所提出的研究方法将通过将 LCA 集成到工程设计决策中来提高当前产品和工艺设计的可用能力。这项工作旨在为可持续设计提供一种新颖的决策方法和相关的决策支持工具。待开发的方法和工具反映了 NIST 可持续发展门户中建立的标准，并补充和增强了 PLM 工具的功能。拟议工作的成果有可能促进更可持续产品的设计，从而显着改善环境以及全球范围内的经济。这项工作得到了行业咨询委员会以及该中心各个行业成员的支持，并且有潜力扩展该中心的产品组合。 PI 计划在麻省大学阿默斯特分校和布法罗纽约州立大学的研究生课程中引入开发的研究方法，并开发协调的原型教育工具，以使中心合作者和行业合作伙伴受益。
