On demand - local and sustainable manufacturing of critical spare parts and components 2033

Purpose and goal

The project will, through collaboration and mission-oriented approach, establish a system demonstrator in North Middle Sweden, for on demand and additive manufacturing. The aim is a contribution towards a resilient, competitive, and sustainable industry. With the mission "On demand local and sustainable manufacturing of critical spare parts and components by 2033", the project will support an early market and technical capacity in the area, while relevant actors refine and develops system dimensions around technology, business models, infrastructure, policy, and culture.

Expected effects and result

An initial focus on critical spare parts and components, makes it possible to tackle and catch low-hanging fruits. The demonstrator is a tool for motivating companies and further develop collaboration. Collaboration creates trust, where people are more likely to share information and contribute. By structuring a system of stakeholders, OEMs and local manufacturers, supply chains and concepts can be developed, to be spread nationally and internationally. The project will contribute to disruptive system change, where all five dimensions are transferred and developed.

Planned approach and implementation

With trials in real environment, the project will meet global challenges with resilient value chains, where digital distribution replaces distribution of physical parts. Work packages: 1.Business models, procurement and conflict management 2.Transform organizational culture and increase competence levels 3.Develop the infrastructure with digital tools 4.Implement technical solutions in the industrial system 5.Contribute to an adapted and developed policies 6.Test and demonstrate on demand and additive manufacturing methods 7.Project management and communication
