Facilitating the Preparation of Life Cycle Assessment Through Subject-Oriented Process Modeling: A Methodological Framework
摘要
The integration of development decisions and their impact on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) outcomes, along with the visualization of these decisions in product development, has emerged as a pivotal step toward advancing environmentally friendly product design. This study proposes a framework that integrates environmental considerations within the paradigm of Subject Orientation (SO) process modeling. The proposed framework is applied to a case study from the German research project AIBetOn3D. The framework demonstrates an approach to integrating ecological considerations into the product life cycle analysis. The ability of the framework to bridge traditional LCA methods with dynamic process modeling presents significant opportunities to advance sustainability practices within product design and development.
