    This paper is about evaluating the components of an automatic air freshener in minimising some part of the quantity required and to design the improvement of an automatic air freshener by emphasising and adapting sustainable design consideration. For this project, Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Design for Manufacturing Assembly (DFMA) were applied and used on the automatic air freshener to achieve the best result. Hence, the final results stated that there was 30% components reduction was achieve using DFMA approach, and consequently, the weight was reduced to 42%. After applying LCA on the automatic air freshener, the environmental impacts were also achieving the requirement by reducing 64% of the average effect for the whole product. Both of these tools need to be applied to prove the effectiveness so that the cost of manufacturing in producing an automatic air freshener will be reducing and at the same time the environmental aspects of product design should be strengthened especially during the phase of conceptual design.

    This research focuses on the environmental impact assessment and DFMA using CAD software tools. In terms of force, durability, and environmental degradation, it analysed the whole assembly's contents, taking account of carbon emissions, energy usage, air acidification and water eutrophication. Sustainable value engineering product development framework, using life cycle techniques combined with methods of sustainable value modelling and analytics. A theory of sustainable value was developed based on the meanings of the importance for community, society and the environment. Sometimes, traditional manufacturing is ignored for the possible gain (e.g. reduction of materials and improved product qualities). The inspired design of the industry creates new technologies, lean management and quality techniques advocate optimising productivity instead of re-designing for less usage of resources, improved functionality and less effect on the environment.

    For this project, it is focused on redesign the original product and analysis of the product, which is the Speedy Chopper. The Speedy Chopper was inverted in the year 2015. The chopper is primarily used to mincing, mixing, whipping and prepare food for cooking purposes. Firstly, the objective of this project is same as the original product which is to make a tool that can chop food and vegetables, user-friendly operating, to save time when cutting the food and to reduce the usage of electricity. As a redesign, the original product is on the mechanism of the product where the original product is using the string that needs to pull several times to chop the input in the speedy chopper. So, the new design is using a rotating handle mechanism, and it is reducing the quantity of the part from the original product. Besides, engineering analysis will be conducted such as the product analysis, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), sustainability of the product and cost analysis before and after improvement of the product.

    This study aims to analyse the components of the hairdryer to 1ecogniz the quantities or improvements in the features of the components involved, and it is necessary to study possible sustainable design improvements. Thus, it is implementing Design for Manufacturing (DFMA) and Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) approach to assist sustainability analysis. The results from a product survey of consumers found that 75% of consumers are from women while the rest are men who use hair dryers. Therefore, people in the 18-30 years old prefer to use the hairdryer when while 18.8% of users often keep the hair dryer on the makeup table and 12.5% of users keep the makeup drawer to look neat. While the results of sustainability study on hair dryer products have found that before analysis using PP Copolymer material there was a good impact on the product analysis in terms of Material Unit Cost of 2.80 USD / kg compared to previous use of ABS material of 2.90 USD / kg. While in terms of Material Financial Impact from the use of PP Copolymer there was a decrease of 0.20 USD compared to material abs usage of 1752.00 USD. In terms of weight the hairdryer has also experienced a weight reduction of 70.05 g to 60.04 g. But in terms of duration of use still the same period of the application for a year and also in term transportation still remain the same as truck distance 1600 km. The surface area of the product also decreased from 76268.30 mm2 to 74199.49 mm2. The methods used for hair dryer production are finite element analysis and sustainability analysis..

    The 'dadih' and milk factory is kind of a small factory and it is called as SME (Small and Medium Enterprise). The purpose of visiting to these factories is to find out the main problem faced by the factories currently. Through a series of analysis such as questionnaire, interview and also observation, the problems are found. According to the factories visited, the cooking method by the factories are varies. Some of the factories are using the traditional method which is cooking by using gas stove and some are using semi-automated boiler. However, the boiling point of the traditional cooking method is around 100°C and it is not able to kill the milk spores in the milk products. A high temperature (135°C-150°C) to cook the milk products in short time (3s-5s) is the basic requirement to kill the milk spores in the milk products. The milk spores are the main reason to shorten the life span of the milk products. According to the information provided by the factory, the life span of 'dadih' produced by using the traditional method are very short which is maximum 2 or 3 weeks if it is refrigerated. In other words, if the products are placed in a normal room temperature, it will not last more than 4 hours. The problem is those factories are intended to buy a UHT boiler but the existing boiler in the market is too big and too expensive which is not suitable and affordable by Small and Medium size (SME) companies.
