Chna 2 Faculty of Mechancal Engneerng and Automaton, Zhejang Sc-Tech Unversty, Hangzhou, , P.R. Chna Abstract: The concept of carbon footprnt controllable product s put forward frstly whch means to prepose the controllng for carbon footprnt to the stage of product development and confguraton, dfferent from the postcontrol tradtonally. Thus the control objectves can be more quantfed and easy realzed. Product characterstcs (ndcators, ncludng carbon footprnt have no certan relaton between each others. In order to obtan the optmal product confguraton scheme based on the constrant of carbon footprnt, three-stage theory s proposed whch ncludes the functonal confguraton, the carbon footprnt complance evaluaton, and the optmal comprehensve evaluaton. After above-mentoned stages, functon feasble soluton set, CFP conformng set and the optmal scheme are generated respectvely. Grey relaton analyss s verfed effectve on comprehensve beneft evaluaton by an example of small reducer. Keywords: Carbon footprnt, mult-objectve decson-mang, product confguraton. 1. INTRODUCTION As a bg concept, Carbon footprnt (CFP can be subdvded nto four nds of natonal carbon footprnt, enterprse carbon footprnt, personal carbon footprnt and product carbon footprnt. And now, more and more concern and attenton s pad to the last. Carbon footprnt label s the manfestaton of product carbon footprnt. It shows the amount of greenhouse gas emssons n the all processes whch ncludes producton, transportaton, sales stage (some products carbon footprnt also nclude use stage and fnal dsposal stage. One of the purposes of carbon footprnt label s to mae enterprses better communcate nformaton about the products wth consumers: to ntroduce consumers about enterprse s contrbuton n energy conservaton and carbon emssons reducton, and provde nformaton about carbon footprnt to consumers so that they can compare the products from dfferent manufacturers. In recent years, low carbon product standards developed rapdly, and the trend has the potental to evolve nto a wde range of green trade barrers, ratonalty n surface, legalty n form, wdespread n content, concealment n mplement. The concept of Carbon Footprnt Controlled Products s put forward not only to meet the external demands such as carbon tarffs and other nternatonal trade barrers, consumer preference and government control, but also to help enterprses themselves to ncrease use effcency of energy and resources, mprove producton process, reduce cost etc., wth the prces of energy and raw materals rsng qucly. Because carbon footprnt has great effect on the greenhouse, more and more partners worldwde ncludng manufacturers, consumers, governments and envronmental groups attach great mportance on carbon footprnt of products. Many scholars have done a lot of research n related felds. The man progresses focus on: Low carbon manufacturng and desgn technology. Some people thn that Rapd Manufacturng (RM s the low carbon manufacturng technology of the future [1]. A method can dentfy the man process of the lfe cycle whch mpact clmate change n enterprse producton and supply s proposed [2]. A method of manufacturng effcency evaluaton provdes a general conceptual and computatonal framewor for the effcency evaluaton of the manufacturng processes [3]. A future vson s proposed toward developng a method for reducng carbon footprnt through smultaneous consderaton of manufacturng processes and supply chan actvtes [4]. Some people establsh a multconstraned objectve optmzaton model of lowcarbon desgn mprovement of ey modular unt wth a target of the most reducton of carbon emsson whch s caused by the mprovement of low-carbon desgn parameters [5]. Low carbon supply chan. To brng the carbon management nto supply chan, the balance between cost, servce, qualty and carbon can be acheved by the coordnaton of supply chan n product, process, nformaton and captal [6]. A mult-objectve mxed nteger programmng model s used to ntegrate carbon emssons and the total cost of logstcs supply chan nto the desgn process, the effects of carbon tradng rght to supply chan desgn also be taen nto X/ Bentham Open

Applyng EPC to the enterprse product supply chan, tracng and montorng the products carbon emssons from producton, storage, dstrbuton, transport and consumpton, carbon footprnt data can be acqured [8]. The verfcaton of product carbon footprnt. A large number of scholars have research the carbon footprnt calculaton method and the carbon footprnt verfcaton of specfc products n the many felds such as plastc, wood, hotel etc. [9-12]. In fact, carbon footprnt over the lfe cycle only represent one feature attrbutes to a product. Only after enterprses have taen all aspects nto consderaton ncludng cost, qualty and many other factors whle mang product desgn and confguraton can they mae the rght decson. Especally, decreased carbon footprnt may mean the deteroraton of other ndcators of cost etc. wth uncertan relatonshp between these factors. Hence obvously, from the overall pont of vew the carbon footprnt of products s not as lttle as possble. For core enterprse, t should try to match reasonable carbon footprnt and other related ndcators, and control the carbon footprnt at an deal level, such product can be sad carbon footprnt controllable products. Therefore, product carbon footprnt plannng should be a mult-objectve decson problem based on the constrant of carbon footprnt. 2. CONFIGURATION STRATEGY AND ALGORI- THM OF CFP CONTROLLABLE PRODUCT For tradtonal product confguraton, the functonal requrements of customers are consdered only, namely the realzaton of the product functon module. Based on the constrant of carbon footprnt, the confguraton scheme s carbon footprnt must be n control. Due to carbon footprnt controllable product requres quantfcaton n the desgn stage accordng to a certan standard, thus a more accurately carbon footprnt can be securely realzed after product moldng. Certanly, t s very necessary to balance cost, qualty, delvery tme and other factors meanwhle Collaboratve R&D Framewor of CFP Controllable Product In vew of Lfe Cycle Assessment (LCA, t manly ncludes supply chan mported carbon footprnt (raw materals and components, carbon footprnt from the core manufacturng enterprse, logstcs carbon footprnt, carbon footprnt resultng from consumers usng and carbon footprnt of EOL (End of Lfe, etc. Fg.

Thus, for core enterprse, the most valuable ln to control carbon footprnt les n the choce of parts supplers and enterprse manufacturng. Therefore, confguraton algorthm s a ey for the carbon footprnt controllable product development. Fg. (1 llustrates that: the confguraton process needs to go through three stages: functon confguraton, carbon footprnt complance evaluaton and comprehensve beneft evaluaton. And functon feasble soluton set, carbon footprnt conformng set and the optmal scheme are generated respectvely after above-mentoned stages. How to determne the target of a product s carbon footprnt? If clent has requrements for carbon footprnt, t should be satsfed as far as possble. Under the condton that the clents haven t come up wth specfc requrements, the ndustry standard should to be met as far as possble. Otherwse, the core enterprses can also set a compettve carbon footprnt standard by method of top-down or bottom-up to embody ther socal responsblty and have the preferences of envronmental conscous customers. Why s t emphaszed that the above processes are on a collaboratve development platform? The next research of ths paper s based on a premse, that the core enterprse can obtan suppler s nformaton real-tme such as prce, qualty, delvery tme, carbon footprnt ndexes etc. through convenent means for nstance Internet. Combned wth ratng ndex to suppler, the core enterprse can consttute an ndex database of product components and parts. Ths database s vtal for subsequent evaluaton for scheme. Therefore, n the vew of ths pont, the product development process of core enterprse s a collaboratve development process actually accompaned by nformaton exchangng wth supplers contnuously Confguraton Algorthm Grey Relatonshp Analyss (GRA ams at analyzng the relatonshps n behavor, posture, boundary. Dfferencng from the tradtonal mathematcal analyss, GRA provdes a smple scheme to analyze the seres relatonshps or the system behavor, even f the gven nformaton s few. In fact, t mght be reconed as a contrastng way, n wholeness, equpped wth reference for contrastng [13]. In the early stage of product desgn and development, product s attrbute data nclude carbon footprnt s fuzzy. Therefore a satsfactory result can be drawn by usng the method of GRA. Defnton 1: Product characterstcs (ndcator seres. Characterstcs nformaton of an object part can be expressed as : x ' = (x ' (1, x ' (2,, x ' ( therefore, as commonly used ndcators for mechancal product suppler evaluaton, cost (C, qualty (Q, on-tme delvery rate (T, purchase cost savng rate (H, credt (M, plus the carbon footprnt, a seres to descrbe the parts characterstcs (ndcator of suppler s: x ' = ((CFP,C,Q,T, H, M, Defnton 2: Schemes-characterstcs (ndcator matrx.

Because the suppler s equvalent n parts functon, the stage of product functon confguraton can be approxmated to a problem of permutaton and combnaton. Usng exhaustve method or related computer software and procedures, an deal result can be obtaned. For comprehensve beneft evaluaton. As Fg.
