The potential applications of Additive Manufacturing technologies are capturing the interest of researchers and industries. Many researchers are now focusing on additive manufacturing and its potential to change the industrial paradigm in terms of economic, environmental, and social sustainability. One of the most promising areas for additive manufacturing adoption is maintenance, more specifically, manufacturing of spare parts. The customization potential, and excellent small series capabilities of AM can lead to reductions in size of central and local storages, eliminate the need to locate uncommon spare parts in the distribution network, shorten supply chains and diminish the duration and cost of logistics. The case for replacing conventional spare parts with additive manufactured equivalents has been the discussed in various studies focused of the aeronautic sector, however, its potential in other industries remains relatively unexplored. The continuous process industry is characterized by extremely high production volumes with costly machines and downtime. The combination of these characteristics with intermittent spare part demand patterns and the predominance of reactive maintenance, drives companies to keep large spare parts stock, which makes the case for introducing AM in process industry maintenance very appealing. This study focuses on how AM could change maintenance activities/supply chain in process industries and its economic impact using process based cost models. To further illustrate and study the problem, this paper contains a detailed evaluation of AM’s potential and impacts in a case study from the paper and pulp industry.

An overview of the work under development within the EU-funded collaborative project MAESTRI is presented in this chapter. The project provides a framework of new Industrial methodology, integrating several tools and methods, to help industries facing the fourth industrial revolution. This concept, called the MAESTRI Total Efficiency Framework (MTEF), aims to advance the sustainability of manufacturing and process industries by providing a management system in the form of a flexible and scalable platform and methodology. The MTEF is based on four pillars: a) an effective management system targeted at continuous process improvement; b) Efficiency assessment tools to support improvements, optimization strategies and decision-making support; c) Industrial Symbiosis paradigm to gain value from waste and energy exchange; d) an Internet-of-Things infrastructure to support easy integration and data exchange among shop-floor, business systems and MAESTRI tools.

The topic of sustainable business models is growing in literature and in the industry, driving companies to search for opportunities to improve their impact on the three pillars of sustainability—profit, people, and planet (economic, social, and environmental). However, the process of developing sustainable business models is often complex, due to conflicting objectives from the three dimensions of sustainability. This paper presents a procedure model that supports the design and assessment of business models with a sustainable perspective, by integrating a new business model canvas for sustainability (BMCS) and an evaluation method to assess it. A comprehensive assessment is proposed, performed in a life cycle perspective. The proposed model is applied and validated with a real case study, based on a new business model for an aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul company. The case is based on shifting from traditional maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities to adopting additive manufacturing as an activity that allows manufacturing optimized spare parts with benefits for the costumer. The results show the application of the procedure model on a specific case study, as well as the potential of additive manufacturing as a driver for more sustainable business models in the aircraft maintenance sector.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a group of technologies that create objects by adding material layer upon layer, in precise geometric shapes. They are amongst the most disruptive technologies nowadays, potentially changing value chains from the design process to the end-of-life, providing significant advantages over traditional manufacturing processes in terms of flexibility in design and production and waste minimization. Nevertheless, sustainability assessment should also be included in the research agenda as these technologies affect the People, the Planet and the Profit: the three-bottom line (3BL) assessment framework. Moreover, AM sustainability depends on each product and context that strengthens the need for its assessment through the 3BL framework. This paper explores the literature on AM sustainability, and the results are mapped in a framework aiming to support comprehensive assessments of the AM impacts in the 3BL dimensions by companies and researchers. To sustain the coherence of boundaries, three life cycle methods are proposed, each one for a specific dimension of the 3BL analysis, and two illustrative case studies are shown to exemplify the model.

Industry currently lives in an environment where change is continuous. Factors such as global competition, economic crisis, technological development and the fact that most products have shorter life cycles lead to this sector being under constant pressure to achieve higher profits. Companies face the need to revise their thinking in order to reshape their work processes. Organizations today are abandoning the reactive processes they have used up until now and are adopting proactive practices such as product life cycle planning and proactive maintenance through constant monitoring of equipment. This constant monitoring and interconnection of systems is called Industry 4.0. In this work, we propose an architecture that facilitates the implementation of Proactive Maintenance in a company that produces custom components for the machinery industry, specially the automotive industry, and helps the company improve its Ecoefficiency, allowing a reduction of costs.
