    Due to the increasing responsibility of companies and increasing demand on the market for high quality and environmentally conscious products, consideration of life-cycle requirements in product and process development has become more important in recent years. The modification of product and process development to take account of the complex interrelationships within product life-cycles requires organisational as well as administrative changes and an application of specific methods and tools to support manager and staff. In this article, potential aspects of information technology leading to the attainment of this goal are presented. The main emphasis is placed on environmental aspects.
