Graphical user interface for assessing sustainability by using fuzzy logic: a case study on hollow fiber membrane module
An important consideration during product development is the sustainability level of a product. Thus, several tools and methods have been developed to assess product sustainability. However, most of current tools focus only on the environmental element without considering two important sustainabilit...
