  • Toward a Sectorwide Design for Environment Support System for the Rail Industry
    Environmental Management, 2004
    Co-Authors: Wim Dewulf, Joost Duflou, Åsa Ander
    Abstract:

    Rail has an important role to play in the development toward a sustainable transportation system. In this perspective, the European Brite Euram Project RAVEL (Rail Vehicle Eco-Efficient Design) has developed a rail sectorwide Design for Environment system to be used and standardized throughout the full supply chain. At the core of the system, quantitative Environmental performance indicators for rail vehicles and components are used to incorporate Environmental performance target levels in the product requirements and to measure and communicate achieved Environmental performance. The concept of eco-efficiency is used to integrate both Environmental and economical considerations. The methodology further builds on a standardized material list, standardized data formats, and proactive Design guidance. To date, first steps are already taken to integrate the RAVEL project results into sector initiatives toward industrywide acceptance and standardization.

  • PDCA-cycle in implementing Design for Environment in an R&D unit of Nokia Telecommunications
    Proceedings of the 1998 IEEE International Symposium on Electronics and the Environment. ISEE - 1998 (Cat. No.98CH36145), 1998
    Co-Authors: J. Jarvinen, E. Hyvarinen, E. Perklen, S. Kaila-stenberg, S. Hyytiainen, J. Tornqvist
    Abstract:

    This paper presents the third and the last part of the case study of implementing Design for Environment in an R&D unit of Nokia Telecommunications. The goal has been to implement Design for Environment into the product process. This has been done by integrating Environmental issues into the process through influencing points found from it. The integration has mainly been achieved with the help of check lists that we call "working assistants". Tailored DFE training has been arranged for the Designers to help them understand the concept and to start using the "working assistants". Design for Environment, as an approach, has been communicated to the employees through different channels. The integrated Design for Environment system has been measured with two groups of metrics: product related metrics and Design for Environment system related metrics. Targets of the metrics have been set by the R&D management team, and improvement measures are now in progress. This paper will describe how the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) cycle has been successfully used as a framework for this implementation process.

  • Integrating Design for Environment into the product Design of Switching Platforms
    Proceedings of the 1996 IEEE International Symposium on Electronics and the Environment. ISEE-1996, 1996
    Co-Authors: Shuchita Kaila, E. Hyvarinen
    Abstract:

    This paper describes the way Environmental issues are being integrated into the product Design of the Switching Platforms unit of Nokia Telecommunications. Switching Platforms is implementing Design for Environment by integrating Environmental issues into its product Design through influencing points found in the product process. Therefore the same people will make the decisions in Design for Environment that determine the overall product Design decisions and Environmental issues will be considered side by side with other requirements. To determine what to do in Design for Environment, idea generating workshops were arranged for the product Design experts with the help of an electronic meeting system, GroupSystems. Check lists will be formed from the results of these workshops. Check lists can be thought of as the heart of their Design for Environment system. Based on the workshop material and check lists, metrics will be Designed and strategies for Design for Environment set. This paper also contains a section discussing what they have learned during their Design for Environment implementation
