| 總結: | The 4th industrial revolution promoted the development of all countries in the world
to get rid of the existing model, and realise the transformation, upgrading of
manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing, green manufacturing, and information
industry. In a competitive economic environment, SMEs are forced to improve their
operational performance and applying efficiency to simplify and speed up the
implementation of new product introductions to better control, coordinate, and
manage them. However, most of SMEs in China are unable to apply and produce the
sustainable products due to lack of knowledge of systematic and appropriate process,
especially in the early stage of product development. To fill this gap, a new sustainable
design with agility integrated framework is introduced for the sustainability and
optimisation development process of China’s SME products. The research focuses on
existing methods in product development as well as an agile approach that can be used
for better product design. Product designers and SMEs are involved as a respondent
through survey by questionnaire. The result acknowledged 24 sustainable product
design variables and eight (8) agility management variables that are significant for the
sustainability and optimisation product development process. Furthermore, the
research also introduced a new framework namely Agility of Sustainable Product
Development Process (ASPDP) as a guideline for product developers in the product
development process that can effectively be used to produce a sustainable product with
possible solutions and resources, systematic and efficient, and quick available in the
market as well as can increase product quality, reduce the development cost, and
increase profits of the SMEs.
