What is Life Cycle Engineering (LCE)
Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) is one of the engineering disciplines that focuses on a systematic approach to design an entire life cycle of a product by incorporating the environmental aspect along with the economic, technical and social aspects during the product development. Several methods, such as LCA (Life Cycle Assessment), LCC (Life-Cycle Costing), and Eco-design, are applied in order to analyze the data and make decision during the upstream and downstream of the product development. Moreover, LCE is an iterative process for continuous improvement of the sustainable performance of the product, product, process, system and the facility involved during the product life cycle.
