“…Currently, several AM processes with high deposition rates have been used in high production volumes [12,13], but most AM applications are still limited to that of small-to medium-sized productions, due to the relatively low production speed, unsatisfactory fabrication quality, and relatively high cost per part (especially for smaller production volume). The production cost, as one of the critical aspects of sustainability (along with environmental and social sustainability), plays a guiding role in the evaluation of a new manufacturing process [14]. In the current literature, cost assessments have been conducted for different AM processes [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] including fused filament fabrication (FFF) [18], mask image projection-based stereolithography [23], fused deposition modeling [19], light-directed electrophoretic deposition [28], inkjet printing [29], multijet printing [30], laminated object manufacturing [31], and electron beam manufacturing [32], etc.…”

Additive manufacturing technologies have been adopted in a wide range of industries such as automotive, aerospace, and consumer products. Currently, additive manufacturing is mainly used for small-scale, low volume productions due to its limitations such as high unit cost. To enhance the scalability of additive manufacturing, it is critical to evaluate and preferably reduce the cost of adopting additive manufacturing for production. The current literature on additive manufacturing cost mainly adopts empirical approaches and does not sufficiently explore the cost-saving potentials enabled by leveraging different process planning algorithms. In this article, a mathematical cost model is established to quantify the different cost components in the direct metal laser sintering process, and it is applicable for evaluating the cost performance when adopting dynamic process planning with different layer-wise process parameters. The case study results indicate that 12.73% of the total production cost could be potentially reduced when applying the proposed dynamic process planning algorithm based on the complexity level of geometries. In addition, the sensitivity analysis results suggest that the raw material price and the overhead cost are the two key cost drivers in the current additive manufacturing market.

“…The development of industry 4.0 enables automation, connectivity, and flexibility in the manufacturing process chain while enabling greater efficiency in the built environment with sustainability in mind (Cooremans & Schonenberger., 2019; Mawson & Hughes, 2019). Ott et al (2019) highlighted that sustainability and cost efficiency can demonstrate optimization potential over the product life cycle. In the classical concept, efficiency consists of production efficiency and labor efficiency (Farrell, 1957).…”

Sustainability balanced scorecard (SBSC) is a management system that can translate strategy into the company's operations. However, based on previous research, a gap states that using SBSC gives birth to many performance indicators. Therefore, we need a framework that can formulate performance indicators to be more proportional to using company resources. For this reason, this research proposes a value framework adopted from six business process values. These six values are efficiency, quality, agility, integration, compliance, and networking. This study aims to prove that these six values can be used as SBSC values. So that will be obtained A Conceptual Framework for a Value-Based Sustainability Balanced Scorecard. The methodology explored three state-owned plantation enterprise in Indonesia and analyzed data using qualitative research coding. The result shows that there are 11 criteria for efficiency, 11 for quality, seven for agility, 12 for compliance, eight for integration, and nine for networking. These criteria have a 100% validation level where the value criteria are found in each company. The performance indicator criteria have been assessed based on the level of relevance test from managers who say that it is almost 100% important and very important. The criteria that have been grouped against these values have proven that the six values can be used to direct managers in formulating company performance indicators so that the established performance indicators are expected to allocate resources proportionally.

“…To achieve sustainability in the SPM, repair the repairable part rather than procuring new one during its complete life cycle (Digiesi et al., 2012; Accorsi et al., 2019; Bag et al ., 2021). The reduced transportation minimizes the Green House Gas (GHG) emission and energy saving in warehousing (Ott et al., 2019). The integration of the SPM with circular economy, Industry 4.0 concept is the future for sustainability (Zhang et al., 2021).…”

PurposeSpare Parts Management (SPM) and Industry 4.0 has proven their importance. However, employment of Industry 4.0 solutions for SPM is at emerging stage. To address the issue, this article is aimed toward a systematic literature review on SPM in Industry 4.0 era and identification of research gaps in the field with prospects.Design/methodology/approachResearch articles were reviewed and analyzed through a content-based analysis using four step process model. The proposed framework consists of five categories such as Inventory Management, Types of Spares, Circularity based on 6Rs, Performance Indicators and Strategic and Operational. Based on these categories, a total of 118 research articles published between 1998 and 2022 were reviewed.FindingsThe technological solutions of Industry 4.0 concepts have provided numerous opportunities for SPM. Industry 4.0 hi-tech solutions can enhance agility, operational efficiency, quality of product and service, customer satisfaction, sustainability and profitability.Research limitations/implicationsThe review of articles provides an integrated framework which recognizes implementation issues and challenges in the field. The proposed framework will support academia and practitioners toward implementation of technological solutions of Industry 4.0 in SPM. Implementation of Industry 4.0 in SPM may help in improving the triple bottom line aspect of sustainability which can make significant contribution to academia, practitioners and society.Originality/valueThe examination uncovered a scarcity of research in the intersection of SPM and Industry 4.0 concepts, suggesting a significant opportunity for additional investigative efforts.
