Description	Journal: Iop Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering Sustainability is one the most crucial aspects currently focused by competitive companies who are coerced to consider their companies environmental, social and economic performance as requirements for product design. The intricate philosophy of designing physical objects, products, built environment and services to comply with the principles of social, economic and ecological sustainability is called sustainable product design. The main of this study is to improve product sustainability using Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) approach. This research primarily focuses on reviewing current sustainable product development approaches, developing a new framework to incorporate Design for Six Sigma into Sustainable Product Development and to conduct a case study on a product using this new framework. The chosen product is an electric kettle. An electric kettle is usually subjected to more extreme usage and physical damage than normal kettles. Most original internal components are very hard to come by in the replacement parts market making it a difficult product to repair and extend its life of use. The design tools used in this new framework are survey methodology, Quality Function Deployment (QFD), morphological chart and weighted rating method, SolidWorks 3D modelling and Sustainability Analysis besides DFM and DFA analysis software. Through applying the new framework under the DFSS approach a new electric kettle concept has been generated and it has been proven to be more sustainable than its predecessors proving that the new proposed framework is suitable for use in sustainable product development.
