Application DFA And AHP In Design Evaluation Process For Environmental Performance In The Conceptual Design Stage A Case Study

This thesis basically discusses on the application of design for assembly (DFA) method and multi criteria decision making (MCDM) tool namely analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The main objective of this study is to apply both DFA and AHP in conceptual design stage to evaluate the environmental perfor...

This study was conducted by using mechanical pencil design as case study. 5 conceptual designs were developed and 3 type analysis based on Lucas DFA method were done to evaluate the design functional efficiency, feeding ratio, and fitting ratio. 10 selection criteria for AHP were considered based on literature studies which are recyclable material, renewable material, number of parts, durability, modularity, ease of maintenance, ease of disassembly, functional efficiency, feeding ratio, and fitting ratio.
