由于法规要求和公众的环保意识，绿色产品开发已成为许多公司的关键战略考虑。生命周期评价（LCA）是衡量新产品开发对环境影响的常用工具。然而，由于不确定和/或未知的数据，在设计阶段进行传统的LCA通常是困难的。本研究采用生命周期评价的概念，并介绍了一个综合的方法，结合模糊程度分析和模糊TOPSIS的环境性能评估与不同的产品设计。在方法论上，它体现了层次结构的优越性和TOPSIS实现的容易性，同时捕捉不确定性的复杂性。一个关于消费电子产品的案例研究，并通过问卷调查收集的数据用于设计评估。在这项研究中提出的方法，预计将帮助公司减少开发周期筛选出不良的设计方案。
Green product development has become a key strategic consideration for many companies due to regulatory requirements and the public awareness of environmental protection. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a popular tool to measure the environmental impact of new product development. Nevertheless, it is often difficult to conduct a traditional LCA at the design phase due to uncertain and/or unknown data. This research adopts the concept of LCA and introduces a comprehensive method that integrates Fuzzy Extent Analysis and Fuzzy TOPSIS for the assessment of environmental performance with respect to different product designs. Methodologically, it exhibits the superiority of the hierarchical structure and the easiness of TOPSIS implementation whilst capturing the vagueness of uncertainty. A case study concerning a consumer electronic product was presented, and data collected through a questionnaire survey were used for the design evaluation. The approach presented in this research is expected to help companies decrease development lead time by screening out poor design options.
