Montabon (2016). Making sustainability sustainable
The key to instrumental logic is that economic performance is the goal, not sustainability. In the
instrumental logic, the triple bottom line is applied. However, one construct becoming more
environmentally or socially sustainable, influences another such as profits. The emphasis on finding
shared value, win-win outcomes or determining when it pays to be green has certainly moved the
field forwards. However, the instrumental logic dominated by economics, especially manifested as
profits.
The Ecologically Dominant logic is explicit when trade-offs are encountered and is aimed at creating a
truly sustainable supply chain, by prioritising environment then society and only then consider
economics when trade-offs occur.
Arnette (2014). Design for sustainability (DFS): The intersection of supply chain and
environment
The original “Desing for” approaches were created as a means of making the operations and
production aspects of product creation more efficient and reducing time, cost, and errors. DFX
techniques were developed to proactively manage these issues.
• Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA)
o Design for Assembly (DFA)
o Design for Manufacture (DFM)
o Design for Flexibility (DFF)
▪ Design for Mass Customization (DFMaCu)
▪ Design for Modularity (DFMod)
▪ Design for Quality (DFQ)
▪ Design for Reliability (DFRb)
• Design for Disassembly (DFD)
• Design for Serviceability (DFSv)
• Design for Cost (DFC)
• Design for Supply Chain (DFSC)
o Design for Procurement (DFP)
o Design for Logistics (DFL)
o Design for Reverse Logistics (DFRL)
o Design for Supportability (DFSp)
DFX in the Ecological Dimension:
• Design for Recyclability (DFR)
• Design for Remanufacture (DFRem)
• Design for Life-Cycle (DFLC)
• Design for Environment (DFE)
o Design for Chronic Risk Reduction (DFCCR)
o Design for Energy Conservation (DFEC)
o Design for Material Conservation (DFMC)
o Design for Water minimization and Recovery (DFWMR)
o Design for Remanufacture, Reuse, and Recycle (DF3R)
▪ Design for Reuse (DFRu)
, ▪ Design for Remanufacture (DFRem)
▪ Design for Recycling (DFR)
Integrated DFX approaches:
• Design for Social Responsibility (DFSR)
The three dimensions DFSC (economics), DFE (environment), and DFSR (equity) influence each other.
