Abstract

Sustainable product design is regarded as an effective approach in product development assisting designers to identify potential sustainability related factors, whereas it is not always evident for designers how to transform sustainability into specific design activities. The aim of this paper is to propose the multi-level sustainable design method to establish the correlation of sustainability and specific product characteristics. The bridge between sustainability and product design characteristics is established using function behavior structure (FBS) ontology with the advantage of assisting to excavate potential factors at each design level. For solving various sources of uncertainties while capturing preference information for different design activities, judgment matrix are employed to handle with the interrelation between the same grade influencing factors using intuitionistic fuzzy number. Moreover, the preference degrees for each influencing factor in previous level are determined through intuitionistic multiplicative numbers to describe the linguistic variables. To accelerate the actual and effective implementation of sustainable design method, intuitionistic multiplicative weighted model is constructed to provide the selected influencing factors and corresponding improvement measure. The proposed method is used to carry out CNC milling machine sustainable design showing that the hybrid method combining FBS with multi-criteria decision-making can really help designers to achieve sustainability requirements transformation clearly using qualitative and quantitative way.
