Abstract

With the productive mode changes from mass production to mass customization, the design for environment (DFE) method has to be adapted to it. The purpose of this study is to realize green design in mass customization mode. In this study, the process of the DFE method in MC mode is systematically discussed, then a concept of green product information model is proposed to support the design process. A product configurator for DFE is presented in detail, at last a green design of refrigerator was used as exemplification of the method.
