Many enterprises have been trying to control their raw materials for green supply management in order to meet the policies and regulations defined by European Union and to reduce environmental pollution in the production. However, the true fact is that the whole process of obtaining materials, manufacturing products, and transferring products to the customer side has caused serious environmental pollution, and the emission of carbon dioxide is the first to blame for harming the environment.
To many companies, carbon emission is not their first concern, andthere is no clear policy or regulation to define this matter.
In Europe, many countries have started using the concept of calorie to mark the amount of carbon dioxide emission on the package of the merchandise to remind customers of environmental protection while making purchase decision.
Innovative technologies such as clean coal technology and CO2 capture and sequestration (CCS) are created by countries to resolve this issue.
Green concept will become a major trend in the future. If companies cannot devise any plans to eliminate or reduce product carbon emission, they will lose their product competitiveness and eventually drop out from the market.
In this research, QFD and FANP are utilized to develop a comprehensive evaluation model with the consideration of green product and reducing carbon dioxide in new product development (NPD).
In addition to reducing the failure risks in launching new products, the model must concern with the concept of environmental protection and carbon footprint in the entire process from the stage of manufacturing products to the stage of recycling the waste materials.
This study considers the future market developmental trend because not only businesses or countries need to be environmental conscious every single individual in the society needs to undertake the responsibility of environmental protection.
By developing green products, a company will definitely increase business profit and create the core value and competitiveness for sustainable business.
The case study will be completed in a future study to determine the priorities of engineering characteristics (ECs) in designing TFT-LCDs
