Important results from the project
Global developments such as COVID-19, conflicts, and record-breaking climate change severely impact businesses and societies. To adapt and manage this growing complexity and uncertainty, methods, and shared scenarios are needed to continuously guide design and product management to adapt, sustain or evolve product and service systems more effectively and collaboratively. The project established such systematic method for exploration enabling evaluation of modular systems on performance and resilience across multiple scenarios, and stakeholders future use cases.
Expected long term effects
This project result builds on future scenarios and use cases from earlier projects. It follows battery electric trucks in their use phase to explore circular economies for the batteries, as well as trucks’ transport missions and interplay with future configurable urban logistic service hubs for last-mile delivery and recovery of goods and waste. The results have been shared with research partners, and follow-ups are discussed to assess and evaluate other modular designs and configurable products for new use cases, and other sustainable scenarios.
Approach and implementation
Developing existing scenarios and use cases, through literature, and conversations with industry experts (WP1.1). Connecting scenarios to chosen system of interest (WP1.2) Workshops and concept generation to scope product configuration and use cases for modeling (WP2). Suggest modeling tools fit for challenges and evaluation in scenarios (WP3). Evaluate design and strategies per use case and scenario for the set scope, assess new possibilities (WP4) Refine methodology, scenarios, and models to summarize process learning and specific design strategy evaluations (WP5).
