- Sustainability with its three aspects, economy, ecology and social, is gaining more and more attention in industry as well as in academia. One way of increasing sustainability is to increase the life length of a product as well as ensuring performance by making it easy to maintain and repair. The consumer trends are moving towards a more positive attitude to buy a function rather than the product itself. By having this approach aspect such as maintenance, service and repair (MSR) is put in a different light. This paper presents a interview study with the intention to investigate the state of the art regarding maintenance and repair in four different Swedish automotive manufacturing companies with emphasis on how virtual product realization is considered and implemented. It was stated during the interviews that the use of simulation and analysis methods with emphasis on MSR differs and that it sometimes can be troublesome to make impact in project discussions etc. due to their difficulty in delivering hard figures e.g. cost, weight, CO2 emissions etc.

- This study analyzes the effect of cleaner local energy production on the consumer carbon footprint. The results in consumption based carbon footprint assessments have traditionally indicated that a significant change in consumption patterns or lifestyles would be needed to achieve the often aspired, ambitious 50- 80% cutoffs in the carbon emissions on a community level. However, it is also known that a majority of the emissions related to all goods and services derives from energy. Thus cleaner local energy would not affect only the emissions from housing in the consumer carbon footprint but also the carbon load from the consumption of goods and services produced with the same energy.

Integrated product service engineering : factors influencing environmental performance
- 2011

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper aims to lead theoretical discussion regarding which IPSE (Integrated Product Service System) factors are expected to increase environmental performance of a life cycle compared to a traditional product sales business. Existing theories such as theory of product development, transaction cost theory and theory for risk management are used and the paper theoretically analyzes and identifies the following crucial characteristics; complexity of the product, uncertainty of offering, control of product operation, asymmetric information and scale of economy.

In what way is remanufacturing good for the environment?
- 2011
-

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Remanufacturing is often considered an environmentally preferable end-of-life option in comparison with material recycling or manufacturing new products. This paper explores the environmental performance of remanufacturing in comparison with material recycling and manufacturing of new products. The method was primarily a literature study, but also the authors’ own investigations. The results show that remanufacturing is, in general, a preferable option due to the environmental gains from the alleviation of depletion of resources, reduction of global warming potential and chances to close the loop for safer handling of toxic materials.
