Urban Mining as a Case for PSS
- 13th June 2016
- No Comment
ABSTRACT Reports about the depletion and pollutant of the earth by human interference and the increasing need for urbanised areas require us to think differently about how we go about achieving this increased urbanisation. In this context, urban mining, where demolition sites are mined for increased recycling and value extraction. Due to high specialisation of […]

Virtual Modeling for Lifecycle Performance Assessment in Aerospace Design
- 13th June 2016
- No Comment
ABSTRACT The aim of the paper is to present an approach for the multidisciplinary evaluation of alternative modular concepts in preliminary design with the intent of enhancing engineers’ capability to simulate alternative scenarios with different design configurations, so to derive decisions about the most valuable design concepts to further develop. The research contribution is novel […]

Boundary objects for PSS Design
- 13th June 2016
- No Comment
ABSTRACT In PSS design, hardware and service developers often have different objectives. Lacking to communicate and negotiate them across boundaries might lead to solutions unable to generate market shares and long-term profitability. This paper aims to contribute to the definition of ‘boundary objects’ that facilitate the sharing of knowledge between members of cross-functional teams engaged […]

Value-driven product service systems development: Methods and industrial applications
- 21st May 2016
- No Comment
ABSTRACT In recent times a service-dominant logic is permeating the design of complex systems. However, in spite of their appeal, initiatives such as Product Service Systems (PSS) have not become mainstream, and methods are lacking to support this transition. This paper argues that methodological guidance, as well as tools for decision support, may be found […]

Research paper published in Journal of Cleaner Production. Highlights Gasoline car causes the most emissions from its manufacturing and use phases. Local jobs from renewables give positive contribution to social sustainability. Renewable electricity in electric carpool cause least socio-ecological impact. Car Pooling is more cost-effective for those who drive from 2000 to 8500 km. People travel […]

Additive Manufacturing Technology Potential: A Cleaner Manufacturing Alternative
- 15th January 2016
- No Comment
ABSTRACT This paper focuses on an emerging manufacturing technology called Additive Manufacturing (AM) and its potential to become a more efficient and cleaner manufacturing alternative. This work is built around selected case companies, where the benefit of AM compared to other more traditional technologies is studied through the comparison of resource consumption. The resource consumption […]
