Ürün sürdürülebilirliğinin ölçülmesi: risk odaklı bir yaklaşım

Sustainability is the holistic approach that aims making future-oriented programming with economic, social and environmental dimensions. Sustainable product development is one of the most significant issues facing in today's companies due to rapid depletion of raw material resources, increase in the social and environmental impact of products, legislative regulations and awareness with regard to social and environmental issues. Within this framework, measuring product sustainability plays essential role in gaining and protecting competitive advantage. However, it is necessary to consider all risks associated with sustainability in order to measure the product sustainability effectively. In this regard, the objective of this study is to develop a risk-driven approach for measuring product sustainability. Previous studies in the related field are restricted due to the lack of dynamic and multidimensional measurement. However, as the decision-making environment is constantly changing in the real-world, a dynamic decision-making approach is needed. This study proposes an approach for measuring product sustainability that considers all of the related risks and risk interactions. To deal with the dynamic and multidimensional nature of product sustainability, the proposed approach employs system dynamics modeling. To confirm the applicability of the proposed approach a real-world application is presented.
