Abstract

Supply Chain is one of the stages of product lifecycle. This process evolves day by day through connected with other process of product development. The improvement of supply chain involve in many ways so that the effectiveness can be improve by minimizing time and cost. Sustainability is important issue need to be considered in supply chain process. Through sustainability, the environment, social and economic become the issues that can be further improved. There are a lot of factors in these three aspects of sustainability can be influence the process of supply chain by identifying and managing those factors in the design phase. However, the current technique of design phase did not give a lot of attention on sustainability issues in the supply chain that may effect the time and cost in product development process. Through this paper, a review of literature including a total design as a design model, supply chain and other supporting models and techniques will be discussed in order to integrate of sustainability, supply chain and design phase. This paper at the end prepare the general framework which will give a brief picture of integration the design phase and supply chain for this research in the development of score metrics for supply chain sustainability.
