Abstract:
In order to deal with the complex and dynamic nature of sustainability integration into the product development process, this research explore the use of a qualitative System Dynamics approach by using the causal loop diagram (CLD) tool. A literature analysis was followed by a case study, aiming to depict the structure of the used sustainability indicators and their relationships. The results showed the main information feedback loops and were discussed in terms of the CLD’s advantages and limitations, and how this exploratory study could lead to a more comprehensive modelling approach.
