“…Chou et al (2015) introduced the concept of sustainable product-service efficiency to explore the sustainability impacts on PSS. Moreover, several other frameworks and tools were proposed for sustainable PSS ( Manzini and Vezzoli, 2003 ;Lumsakul et al, 2018 ). However, researchers tend to explore the service based on an established product considering the economic perspective.…”

“…Ecological embeddedness means that both the economic actors (manufacturer and consumer) and the environment benefit. The mechanism for achieving this may involve the co-design of the product and production system [34], or the continuous improvement of an existing system.…”

Ecologically Embedded Design in Manufacturing: Legitimation within Circular Economy

Circular economy has gained momentum since the 1970s as a regenerative alternative to the traditional linear economy. However, as the circular economy has gone mainstream, circularity claims have become fragmented and remote, consisting of indirect contributions, such as the life extension of other products and the use of waste as feedstock, without addressing the actual cause of waste. The present study aims to identify the strategic motivations of manufacturers participating in the circular economy and the corresponding relationship to ecological embeddedness. This paper explores the circular economy in manufacturing through existing products on the market and their relationship to eco-design by considering the product, packaging, and its production. Legitimacy is found to be a decisive factor in whether the type of circular economy strategy manufacturers adopt yields ecological benefits. The results from the case study of products clearly indicate the superiority of ecological embeddedness, as a form of circularity supporting strong sustainability. Finally, a novel template is proposed to support the implementation of ecological embeddedness in manufacturing.

“…Nevertheless, capabilities for modular product design and organisational strategic flexibilities demand integration of knowwhat, know-how and know-why forms of knowledge [5] for the design, management and maintenance of models in the process and system domains. Scholars have also studied various approaches, such as co-development, co-design and concurrent engineering that can help manufacturing organisations deal with co-evolution problems [6][7][8]. Therefore, synchronisation and concurrent engineering of product, process and system models in the early modelling, design and planning stages remain among the most relevant challenges for manufacturing enterprises [9].…”

Manufacturing organisations must compete with each other while adapting to the ever-changing conditions by building and strengthening their chains of competencies to survive. Therefore, companies are challenged to reform and reconstruct their product, process, and system models as well as to define new goals conforming to evolving complex and dynamic environments. Recent advancements in technologies such as modelling and simulation (M&S), digital twin (DT) and virtual reality (VR) promise new ways for remodelling organisations' resources, processes, and architectures. Moreover, comprehensive concepts like DT-based virtual factory (VF) exploit the potential for utilising such technological concepts in the application domain by enabling the integration of various tools, methods, and processes. There are a variety of empirical studies focusing either on the distinct use of technologies, methods and processes or very generic concepts and approaches. However, studies focusing on both conceptual and practical aspects for such comprehensive and integrated solutions to handle co-evolution in the complex manufacturing domain are limited for defining, designing and utilising novel technologies. In this paper, therefore, we attempt to close this gap by (1) framing and discussing the conceptual and theoretical foundations of DT-based VF, (2) introducing and discussing the extension of the DT-based VF to virtual enterprise and (3) generalising and interpreting the prescriptive knowledge discovered during the previous VF demonstrations performed at Vestas Wind Systems A/S. Systems and complexity theories, concepts of business cycles and competence-based strategic management are discussed to frame descriptive knowledge as a language for depicting the internal and external nature of complex manufacturing enterprise operations. Furthermore, design principles of the DT-based VF concept are examined based on framed concepts and theories as well as its potential implications and deviations into different application contexts to provide managerial guidelines for utilising such a concept.
