In the actual context, eco-design that focuses on the integration of environmental considerations into product development becomes a major stake for many companies. In order to make things happen, eco-design tools have to be made available for the product designers and for the working situations in product development processes. The research in the field proposes a lot of tools without dealing with their proper integration into a given design process. To succeed in requires evaluating their contribution to the eco-design process performance. Therefore, the objective of the paper is to propose a performance evaluation models. It is based on the analysis of general studies on design performance and the adaptation of the GAMETH® framework. The performance model proposed consists in evaluating the knowledge used and produced for each activity of a given design process, according to seven criteria related to time, cost, quality and contribution to the design objectives. A study case illustrates how the propositions made here can be applied.

The expansion of the markets corroborated with product customization and short time to launch the product have led to new levels of competition among product development companies. To be successful in the globalization of the markets and to enable the evaluation and validation of products, companies have to develop methodologies focused on lifecycle analysis and reduction of product variation to obtain both quality and robustness of products. Keywords: Modeling, Evaluation, Validation, Design ProcessThis paper proposes a new design process methodology that unifies theoretical results of modeling stage and empirical findings obtained from the validation stage. The evaluations and validations of engineering design are very important and they have a high influence on product performances and their functionality, as well on the customer perceptions.Given that most companies maintain the confidentiality of their product development processes and that the existing literature does not provide more detailed aspects of this field, the proposed methodology will represent a technical and logistical support intended for students or engineers involved in academic as well as industrial projects.A generic methodology will be refined based on a new approach that will take into consideration the specification types (quantitative or qualitative), the design objectives and the product types: new/improved, structural/esthetic. Hence the new generic methodology will be composed of specific product validation algorithms taking into account the above considerations. At the end of this paper, the improvements provided by the proposed methodology into the design process will be shown in the context of the engineering student capstone projects at the Université de Sherbrooke.
