Abstract
Customer preferences drive the design process. However, it is extremely difficult to accurately assess the customer´s actual willingness to pay for environmental protection. This paper first briefly reviews methods for assessing customer preferences, then presents a decision model for use by design engineers in which customer preferences can be reflected in weighting factors assigned by the design engineer
