An evaluation procedure for product life-cycle design at the conceptual stage is presented using a digraph and matrix approach. Life-cycle design attributes are identified and used to evaluate a life-cycle design index.

A step-by-step procedure for the evaluation of the life-cycle design index is presented and illustrated by means of two examples.
