| Ringkasan: | Engineers are in an essential position to affect the environmental aspects of the
product they design. Role of a design engineer has become increasingly vital not
only to produce product to meet customers needs of quality and cost but also to
produce products with as low environmental impact as possible. This report is about
sustainable development of a coffeemaker by applying the Design for Environment
(DFE) approach which aims to protect human health and preserve environment. In
recent years, DFE has become an important approach since the world is facing
problems of limited resources and serious environmental effects. DFE is an approach
implemented at product design and development stage to avoid or minimize
significant environmental impacts and increase resource efficiency at all phase of a
product life cycle ranging from extraction of its material, manufacturing, packaging,
transportation, product usage and finally to recycling or deposition of the used
product. The methodology used in this report is by developing Philips’ coffeemaker
as a benchmark and implement DFE tools and guidelines to produce a sustainable
coffeemaker. From the result obtained, the evaluation and comparison of
environmental impact and effect on human health of the Philips coffeemaker and
sustainable coffeemaker is carried out with life cycle assessment (LCA) method.
LCA software, SimaPro is used to carry out the assessment. By adopting DFE, a
certain company can achieve the ISO 14001 international specification for
Environmental Management System (EMS) beside other benefits such as
encouraging the customers to accept its product, reduce environmental effect and
conserve energy or natural resources. |
