Abstract

We live in a crowded world of ever-increasing connectivity, with both cooperation and conflict occurring on a global scale. Individuals, companies, and communities are linked through worldwide systems of communication, transportation, and commerce. Similarly, individual products and services are linked to the global value chains in which they are created, delivered, and used. As we have seen, this connectivity presents daunting challenges to the design and deployment of new products, processes, and assets. Instead of focusing purely on the function and form of a product or service, design teams today must consider a broad range of system-level issues, including safety, security, manufacturability, serviceability, material and energy efficiency, end-of-life recovery, environmental emissions, and long-term impacts on quality of life for future generations.
