Disruptive events such as natural disasters become increasingly frequent, demonstrating the need for resilient supply systems. Additive manufacturing (AM) is an emerging technology which can help to solve supply bottlenecks as seen during SARS-CoV-2. AM was able to mitigate supply bottlenecks of medical spare parts, in times when globally arranged...
Durch den Zusammenbruch globaler Lieferketten wurden sonst gut verfügbare Güter zu versorgungskritischen Engpässen. Dabei zeigte sich, dass additive Fertigung diese Engpässe abmildern kann. Die Forscher der BW-Uni in München untersuchten, wie die Nutzung additiver Bezugsquellen das Beschaffungsrisiko von Sachgütern verändern kann. Erfahren Sie mehr...
Procurement has faced major challenges due to the collapse of global supply chains in the course of the SARS-COV2 pandemic, and non-critical items have become critical bottlenecks. Additive manufacturing (AM) is an emerging technology that serves as a local supply source and can mitigate some of these bottlenecks. For example, it was possible to so...
Forschungsmotivation: Additive Technologie ermöglicht dezentrale Fertigung von Bauteilen, was sich insbesondere für Ersatzteile und da insbesondere für selten benötigte Teile eignet.
Forschungsziel: Dieses Arbeitspapier untersucht, ob eine traditionelle Lieferkette durch additive Fertigung ersetzt werden kann. Als Entscheidungskriterien Wirtschaftl...
The vulnerability of supply chains is more evident during crises. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic, container ship blockades, and marine traffic jams in the Suez Canal have caused severe supply disruptions. Additive manufacturing (AM), often referred to as 3D printing, at demand sites, can solve supply disruptions. This study investigates how AM in...
Purpose
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has had severe effects on economies worldwide and, in particular, on public institutions that must keep their operations running while supply chains are interrupted. The purpose of this study is to examine how public institutions act during a pandemic to ensure the security of supply.

Much like the immune system of the body, the ‘immune system’ of purchasing and supply management (PSM) is also affected by the Covid-19 virus. Medicine must hinder the spread of the virus and outbreak of disease, just as PSM must prevent risk events and handle supply disruptions. The existing debate on supply resilience and robustness can be demons...
Beschaffung hat grundsätzlich die Aufgabe, einer Organisation ihre benötigten, aber nicht selbst hergestellte Güter zur Verfügung zu stellen. Durch den Zusammenbruch globaler Lieferketten im Zuge der SARS-COV2-Pandemie wurde die Beschaffung bei der Bewältigung dieser Aufgabe vor große Herausforderungen gestellt. Eigentlich gut verfügbare Güter wur...
Additive manufacturing (AM) is regarded as a technology that has transformative and disruptive potential in nearly all industries. However, AM is not only about new production equipment and processes. Given the decreasing degree of vertical integration in many companies, suppliers add significant value to the finished product. AM might lead to the...
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an emerging manufacturing method that possesses great potential for new product designs and improved product performance. Thus, a production strategy has to assess how to use AM. However, production requires supply; thus, this work adds a strategic view from a procurement perspective to the AM discussion. This work di...
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is seen as a technology with transformative-disruptive potential for nearly all industries. Nevertheless, research on AM in the field of industrial procurement is still scarce. This is surprising, as AM is not only changing traditional procurement categories into new ones, comprising printers, powder raw materials, data...
Dieser Beitrag zeigt auf, wie additive Fertigung die Operational Performance beeinflusst. Hierzu wird die additive Fertigung den traditionellen Fertigungs- und Lieferprozessen gegenübergestellt. Das ökonomische Potenzial ergibt sich insbesondere aus der Liefergeschwindigkeit und den Fertigungskosten. Die Ergebnisse der Analyse zeigen, dass additive...
Blockchain technology has the potential to counter these challenges by combining peer-to-peer networks, cryptography, and consensus algorithms. A blockchain is a decentralized database that stores transactions and data transparently, chronologically, and tamperproof in a distributed network. In this paper, we present a blockchain-based industrial m...
