Abstract

Based on Systems Theory, this paper elucidated the necessity of building a control system for the green design of furniture. By carefully studying the structure of a team for developing a product and its task allocation, the author proposed a framework of the control system and then clarified its characteristics and the functions of its “workgroups”. A study on this framework aims to bring green furniture design under systematic control. This will help to apply concurrent engineering to the design practice and pave the way for assessing the cost and establishing an evaluation system in green furniture design.
