LIFE CYCLE DESIGN MANAGEMENT IN THE AUTOMOBILE SECTOR A FRAMEWORK M.Sc. Graziano Carli: Ph.D. researcher in “Quality engineering” at University of Florence M.Sc. Raffaele Scialdoni Ecolabel Branch Manager of Italian Environmental Protection Agency Member of the ISO TC 207 “ad hoc Group on Design for Environment” Prof. Dr. Massimo Tronci: Professor of “Industrial plants” at University of Rome “La Sapienza” INTRODUCTION Many particular stages/impacts Life Cycle Assessment studies and some general life cycle perspective studies have been conducted in the automobile sector, as one of the most unsustainable social function. Because of its importance in automobile life cycle planning, the present study focuses its attention on the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and its role in improving the overall automobile eco-efficiency. In particular, we tried to build a general framework on design management, as a base for further researches on specific aspects. 1. AUTOMOBILE LIFE CYCLE An automobile life cycle consists of the generic following stages: materials production; manufacturing and assembly; use and service; end-of-life management. These stages are represented in more details in the process flow diagram in figure 1 http://www.leidenuniv.nl/interfac/cml/chainet/automlif.rtf Key stakeholders over the life cycle are material suppliers, parts fabricators, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), customers, service and repair professionals, dismantlers, shredders, nonferrous processors, waste managers, regulators, insurers and investors and, as an extension, the environment. 2. AUTOMOBILE DESIGN MANAGEMENT Two different areas can be consider
