Abstract
Many manufacturers now have established service businesses to support the use of their products (created through servitization) and are now facing new pressures of sustainability and circularity. This research explores how relationships with supply chain actors may change for servitized manufacturers when implementing circular economy. Based on a structured literature review of two literature streams – servitization and circular economy – this paper provides an overview of existing concepts regarding the relationship dynamics in these settings. A framework is proposed detailing the relationships necessary for recovery, processing, and commercialization of circular products, parts or components when creating circular servitized supply chains. Specific directions for future work and wider avenues for future research are provided for creating circular servitized supply chains. The contributions of this research stem from the combining and contextualization of key insights from two literature streams and proposed conceptual framework for creating circular servitized supply chains.
期刊介绍:
Production Planning & Control is an international journal that focuses on research papers concerning operations management across industries. It emphasizes research originating from industrial needs that can provide guidance to managers and future researchers. Papers accepted by "Production Planning & Control" should address emerging industrial needs, clearly outlining the nature of the industrial problem. Any suitable research methods may be employed, and each paper should justify the method used. Case studies illustrating international significance are encouraged. Authors are encouraged to relate their work to existing knowledge in the field, particularly regarding its implications for management practice and future research agendas.
