| Summary: | The Design for Sustainability (D4S) is a recognized method to produce
sustainable product that embrace three main elements: environment, economic and social. However, the emphasization on the D4S is immature
among industries in Malaysia. The objectives of this study are to propose a
user friendly D4S assessment checklist base on SolidWorks software features
and to implement on a case study. Implementation of this study done by
established a D4S assessment checklist. The checklist consists of mapping
between the sustainability main elements and SolidWorks software. The D4S
case study is redesign a Sugar Cane Extractor Machine based on the proposed
assessment checklist using Solidworks software. The results of study have
shown improvement on all three main elements of sustainability. On the
environment element, the redesign SCEM has been designed with less
environmental impact than original design as following; Carbon Footprint
17.4%, Total Energy Consumed 19.0%, Air Acidification 16.2% and Water
Eutrophication 49.4%. On the economic element, the redesign SCEM has
been designed less material and production cost than original design for
USD28.00 and USD58.50 respectively. On the social element, the redesign
SCEM has been equipped with extra safety cover at exposed area and
ergonomics handles to ease pushing, pulling and lifting operation. In
conclusion, the D4S study has been done successful with consideration on all
three main sustainability. |
