| Tiivistelmä: | The role of material development and selection as well as product safety and liability is explored in this paper. This paper presents conceptual framework which facilitates an interface btw. material selection and product safety/liability at the 3 planning-horizon levels of strategic, intermediate, and tactical. There are 5 specific areas of interface. The results indicate that the company performed well for 2 propositions and performed very poorly for 3 propositions. The company had to comply with stringent safety and regulatory requirements but was under no internal or external pressure to improve its material development, selection, and processing practices. Finally, the conclusions, assessment, and future research directions are presented. |
