Abstract

Newly developed products should focus not only on quality but also on other aspects of sustainable development. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to develop the method to calculate the CQ-LCA (Cost Quality-Life Cycle Assessment) indicator that supports the sustainable development of products. This development considers the key three aspects: cost and quality (meet customers' requirements of use of the product), and environmental impact in life cycle assessment (LCA). This indicator was developed based on an original research method, which involves the development of three indicators, separately for mentioned aspects in product prototypes. The method mainly allows on: i) obtaining and processing customer voices (VoC) regarding prototypes, ii) prospective LCA of prototypes, iii) aggregation of the VoC with LCA, and also predicted cost of prototypes. In result, the CQ-LCA indicator to support decision of choice the most favorable prototype is calculated. In this paper, the test of method was realized for e-scooter. The findings of this study underscore the potential of this model to facilitate comprehensive assessments of product life cycles, thus informing decision-making processes towards sustainable product development. Through further refinement and expansion, it will support to enterprises towards more environmentally conscious and customer-centric product innovation strategies, ultimately contributing to improved customer satisfaction, improved corporate image, financial growth, and societal acceptance. The proposed method can be used to multidimensional assess planned product prototypes.

根据成本、质量和生命周期评估CQ-LCA指标实现产品的可持续发展

新开发的产品不仅要注重质量，还要注重可持续发展的其他方面。因此，本研究的目的是开发支持产品可持续发展的CQ-LCA（成本-质量-生命周期评估）指标的计算方法。这一发展考虑了三个关键方面：成本和质量（满足客户使用产品的要求），以及生命周期评估（LCA）中的环境影响。该指标是根据一种原创的研究方法开发的，该方法涉及到三个指标的开发，分别针对产品原型中的上述方面。该方法主要允许：i)获取和处理关于原型的客户声音（VoC）， ii)原型的预期LCA， iii)将VoC与LCA聚合，并预测原型的成本。计算了支持最优原型选择决策的CQ-LCA指标。本文以电动滑板车为例，对该方法进行了验证。本研究的结果强调了该模型在促进产品生命周期的全面评估方面的潜力，从而为可持续产品开发的决策过程提供信息。通过进一步的完善和扩展，它将支持企业向更加环保意识和以客户为中心的产品创新战略，最终有助于提高客户满意度，改善企业形象，财务增长和社会接受度。该方法可用于对计划产品原型进行多维度评估。

期刊介绍： Environmental Development provides a future oriented, pro-active, authoritative source of information and learning for researchers, postgraduate students, policymakers, and managers, and bridges the gap between fundamental research and the application in management and policy practices. It stimulates the exchange and coupling of traditional scientific knowledge on the environment, with the experiential knowledge among decision makers and other stakeholders and also connects natural sciences and social and behavioral sciences. Environmental Development includes and promotes scientific work from the non-western world, and also strengthens the collaboration between the developed and developing world. Further it links environmental research to broader issues of economic and social-cultural developments, and is intended to shorten the delays between research and publication, while ensuring thorough peer review. Environmental Development also creates a forum for transnational communication, discussion and global action. Environmental Development is open to a broad range of disciplines and authors. The journal welcomes, in particular, contributions from a younger generation of researchers, and papers expanding the frontiers of environmental sciences, pointing at new directions and innovative answers. All submissions to Environmental Development are reviewed using the general criteria of quality, originality, precision, importance of topic and insights, clarity of exposition, which are in keeping with the journal''s aims and scope.
