| Abstract: | Introduction of product designs and process innovation requires a company to evaluate complex cost and environmental tradeoffs. In the past, these have not included environmental costs. This paper describes the first known analytical approach to capture comprehensively measurable corporate environmental impact considerations for the product life cycle. A mixed integer programming model is developed to select product and process alternatives while considering tradeoffs of yield, reliability, and business-focused environmental impacts. |
