About the life cycle perspective

Answer:
By life cycle consider the consecutive and interconnected stages of a product (or service) system, from obtaining of raw materials, or its production from natural resources, to the final disposal like in the picture below.

An organization should think about the life cycle stages that can be controlled or influenced by the organization. For example, an organization in the furniture business can develop actions to minimize the possibility of using illegal timber shoot down from protected forests, or an organization can take measures to inform customers about the correct ways of disposing the product at the end of life, like with toy batteries.

The life cycle perspective implies consideration of the material life cycle associated with the products and services and does not require a detailed evaluation.
The organizatio n should evaluate and determine which stages of the lifecycle it can control or influence, which can vary greatly depending on the context.
