PLM Vision for Circular Economy
The conference paper “A PLM Vision for Circular Economy” written by Sofia Freitas de Oliveira & António Lucas Soares redefines PLM due to the shift from the mass production model to a new paradigm of personalized, on-demand, customer-centric, and knowledge-based production.
In doing so, the authors highlight the growing concerns around sustainability and circular economy, which require improved products that can be used for longer, with multiple life cycles.
The paper was published in “Collaboration in a Data-Rich World” the proceedings from the18th IFIP WG 5.5 Working Conference on Virtual Enterprises. It may be downloaded HERE.
