Abstract
In his introduction to the 1992 European Manufacturing Futures Survey, De. Meyer suggests that manufacturing must “see itself as a link in an integrated value added chain, whose goal is to serve the customer” (my emphasis). Coming from a very different perspective, namely that of environmentally benign production, Tipnis (1993) also suggests a similar view when he subtitles his paper “How to design products that are environmentally safe to manufacture/assemble, distribute, use, service/repair, discard/collect, disassemble, recover/recycle and dispose?”.
