Modelling Eco-Innovative Design Method for Green Product

This paper presents a systematic eco-innovative design method for green product based on the eco-efficiency elements concept. The proposed method integrated the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) approach and the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRlZ) tools into the conceptual design activities of developing green product. Conceptual design is considered to be one of the pivotal components in New Product Development (NPD) process which has a significant impact on downstream NPD activities such as alternatives selection and industrial design. Despite the recognized importance of conceptual design, there is a lack of a systematic and effective innovation creating process for green product. To address this gap, an eco-innovative design method was developed with an eco-contradiction matrix identifying the contradiction between customer requirements and eco-efficiency elements for deriving TRlZ invention principles. The related specific solutions were conducted from these invention principles. The eco-innovative product could be created based on these specific solutions. A case study of a atmosphere eco-light design was demonstrated for the applicability of this method and the results validated the feasibility and effectiveness.
