An Integrated Approach to Products and Their Environment

Due to the current crisis, the production type approval of competing firms, but first of all the new environmental urgency, it is rising the need of reconsider new production systems. The methodological approach of the Design by Components (DbyC), appears to be as one of the possible open paths to successfully face the ongoing change; thanks to this approach, that critically analyses all the parts of a current industrial product, it is possible to redesign new typology of product/production chains as well as the system they are introduced in. This approach, consequently, involve the redesign of the industrial structure that evolves in a more flexible, glocal, ethical, economical and environmental model. Such strategies must be urgently met, because the lack of even only one of them could compromise the entire policy emplementation and its own reaction to change.
