Purpose – The aim of this paper is to introduce uncertainty analysis within an environmentally extended input‐output technological model of life cycle costing. The application of this approach will be illustrated with reference to the ceramic floor tiles manufacturing process....

Availability-based contracts which provide customers with the use of assets such as machines, ships, aircraft platforms or subsystems like engines and avionics are increasingly offered as an alternative to the purchase of an asset and separate support contracts. The cost of servicing a durable...

This research evaluates reconfiguration opportunities in Pharmaceutical Supply Chains (PSC) resulting from technology interventions in manufacturing, and new, more patient-centric delivery models. A critical synthesis of the academic and practice literature is used to identify, conceptualise,...

This paper empirically investigates the concept of industrial digitalisation by identifying major structural dependencies between the UK digital and manufacturing economy. Current policy analyses exploring the possible benefits for the digitalisation of UK manufacturing economy largely rely on...

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted vulnerabilities in upstream pharmaceutical supply chains (PSC) associated with the manufacture of essential active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The need to develop health countermeasures provided new impetus to supporting advanced manufacturing...
