“Design-for-X” is an approach to optimizing certain aspects of the product life cycle. The “X” is a placeholder for a variety of optional goals. As a rule, a product should be designed in such a way that it supports certain processes. A typical application example in industry is “Design-for-Manufacturing (DfM)”, in which products are designed for simple and cost-efficient production. Another example is “Design-for-Sustainability (DfS)”: here the focus is on supporting sustainability aspects over the entire life cycle of the product.
