5starcooks Sustainable Product Development A Complete Guide

Organizations that ignore sustainable product development risk losing market share, facing regulatory penalties, and damaging brand reputation. Today supply chains, consumer expectations, and climate commitments demand that every product lifecycle be designed, produced, and delivered with environmental stewardship and economic viability in mind. The book uses a structured Self-Assessment methodology organized around seven criteria - Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control, Sustain. Hundreds of targeted questions guide the reader to score each item on a five-point scale. The scores are automatically plotted on a radar-chart Scorecard that instantly reveals the strongest and weakest areas of Sustainable Product Development within an organization, allowing even those with limited background to benchmark performance quickly. Included Professional Toolkit (40-48 Practitioner Tools): Generated fresh at the time of purchase so the content reflects the latest Sustainable Product Development standards and practices. The toolkit is divided into ten sections - Getting Started, Assessment and Planning, Models and Frameworks, Processes and Handoffs, Operations and Execution, Performance and KPIs, Quality and Compliance, Sustainment and Support, Advanced Topics, and Reference.
