“…In addition, current research [34] identifies industrial practice as the most important source for learning about cost reduction projects. For further industry collaboration we consider discrete manufacturing as a research reference due to its 1) distinct product development cycles and 2) demand for cost-effective product development [1].…”

“…This is especially important for industries such as the process industry or discrete manufacturing industry, as production requires capital-intensive assets and markets are highly competitive; thus, cost effectiveness is a major driver of success [1]. In such an economic environment, it is essential to have a clear overview of product costs.…”

Abstract. While theoretical concepts for product-costing methodologies have evolved over the decades, little emphasis has been placed on their integration into modern information systems. During a co-innovation workshop at SAP SE, we initiated our collaborative research with selected large-scale enterprises from the discrete manufacturing industry. Moreover, we conducted interviews with business experts to gain a sophisticated understanding of the cost-optimization process itself. As a result, we present an exemplary optimization process with an emphasis on the specific characteristics of the product development stage. Based upon this example, we identified associated deficits in information system support. No current software fulfills the enterprises' requirements regarding cost optimization in the early stages of a product's life cycle. Thus, the respective processes lack integration in corporate environments. Taking this on, our article compiles detailed problem identification and, moreover, suggests approaches to overcome these hurdles.

Asset Management (AM) is promising for value creation from assets in the long term. A major concern to this end relates with the capabilities to achieve effective AM decision-making at every organizational level, i.e. operational, tactical, and strategical. Therefore, the goal of this research, grounded on a systematic literature review, is to identify which are the main sources of uncertainty that may influence the achievement of AM system related objectives and, as such, should be taken into consideration in a risk-informed decision-making process. Taking the manufacturing sector as reference, the risk sources addressed by the extant literature are identified and mapped against a reference classification scheme. As a result, the research offers a comprehensive framework where risk sources, affecting the AM decision-making process, are systematically mapped. Information management is found to be the main risk source when making asset-related decisions.

“…The adoption of life cycle orientation in decision-making means that the AM process should incorporate long-term objectives and performances to drive decisionmaking. Supporting tools can be adopted by the company to aid the achievement of this 27,28 . Moreover, given that the three stages of the life cycle of the assets -BOL, MOL, EOLdiffer in the scope of decisions, different organizational functions need to collaborate in the AM process, covering all organization's hierarchical levels 20 .…”

The aim of this paper is to investigate how to embed Asset Management in production companies. A framework is defined based on literature analysis and focus groups findings, in which the fundamentals to guide the integration of Asset Management are systematized. Two dimensions are identifiedthe asset life cycle and the hierarchical level of the asset-control activitiesand four founding principleslife cycle, system, risk and asset-centric orientationas levers to integrate Asset Management within an industrial organization. An empirical investigation is then developed through multiple case-study involving eight production companies in Italy, with the purpose to map the elements of the framework against the real mechanisms in the industrial practices. This allows testing the relevance of the framework itself and demonstrating its potential as a support for companies to implement gap analysis on AM practices. Empirical evidence on current practices of AM in production companies is contextually unveiled.
