“…With online platform-based AM services, LSPs can offer their broad customer base, as well as new customers, easy access to high-quality AM parts, which are manufactured by a network of selected, audited AM service bureaus. A few insights into such positioning of LSPs are provided by Pause and Marek (2019, p. 56) by characterizing the role of LSPs as “a selector of manufacturer[s].” In our interviews, LSPs are expected to fulfill an even broader role as a single point of contact for their customers. For instance, one of the LSPs (L6) emphasized, “With our competencies in partner management, we connect all the actors from the SC.…”

PurposeThis study identifies and characterizes configurations of generic business models for logistics service providers (LSPs) in the context of industrial additive manufacturing (AM). A literature-based framework of the AM service supply chain (SC) is developed to embed the generic configurations in their SC context.Design/methodology/approachFollowing an exploratory research design, 17 interviews were conducted with LSPs, LSPs' potential partners and customers for industrial AM services.FindingsSix generic configurations are identified, the LSP as a Manufacturer, Landlord, Logistician, Connector, Agent and Consultant. The authors outline how these configurations differ in the required locations, partners and targeted customer segments.Practical implicationsThe current discussion of reshoring and shorter, decentralized AM SCs confronts LSPs with novel challenges. This study offers guidance for managers of LSPs for designing business models for industrial AM and raises awareness for LSPs' resource and SC implications.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the scarce literature on AM business models for LSPs with in-depth empirical insights. Based on the six identified configurations, this study sets the ground for theorizing about the business models, in particular, the value creation, value proposition and mechanisms for value capture of the business models. In addition, this study suggests how the generic configurations fit the features of specific types of LSPs.

“…The literature search showed AM applications in various industries that include aviation [17,24,27,34,35,54,56,57,59], manufacturing and logistics [5,9,18,20,28,38,63], automotive [15,25,32,39], military [7,11,22,37,55], medicine [16,52], electronics [31,64] and petroleum [41]. However, most of the literature provides research which is not related or specified to any particular industry sector [3,6,10,14,19,23,26,29,33,36,40,42,43,45,46,[48][49][50][51]53...…”

Additive Manufacturing Technology for Spare Parts Application: A Systematic Review on Supply Chain Management

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Additive manufacturing (AM) is gaining interest among researchers and practitioners in the field of manufacturing. One major potential area of AM application is the manufacturing of spare parts, which affects the availability of the operation and supply chain. The data show that the application and adoption of AM has contributed to a reduction in lead times and inventory, which also contributes to a reduction in holding costs. This paper provides a review of recent work on the application of AM technology specifically for spare parts. The review shows that there are supply chain opportunities and challenges to the adoption of AM in spare parts within various application sectors. Our research reviews both the quantitative and qualitative models used for analysis to meet the emerging needs of the industry. The review also shows that the development of technology and its application is still emerging; therefore, there will be further opportunities to develop better spare parts supply chains to support AM applications. This paper concludes with future research directions.
