abstract = {Adaptation and clear visualization of factory operations are crucial in the industrial sector. This research presents the “Visual Twin,” a tool offering detailed insights into facility inefficiencies, emphasising flow and space. It has developed using advanced 3D scanning and integrates multiple manufacturing elements, promoting flexibility and adaptability. The Visual Twin facilitates a shift in perspective, viewing the factory as an operational asset and introducing option spaces for optimal factory floor organization. This method seeks to refine workflow, enhance efficiency, and align with specific operational needs and manufacturing goals, aiming to improve overall operational efficiency, productivity, and profitability. The examples reveal the significant impact of adopting a modular and multi-service architecture, promoting rapid responses to innovation needs.},

Design/Methodology/Approach: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted, which identified relevant papers on servitization, culture, and change management frameworks. Further analysis on the key cultural characteristics/factors was established based on the reviewed papers. Findings: Synthesis from adjacent change literature of an initial Organizational Culture framework to facilitate the shift to servitization. Identification of contributory dimensions that may impact this transformation. To be followed by further empirical research. Originality/Value: The successful implementation of a Service based strategy is highly influenced by organizational cultures. Managerial awareness of the contributory dimensions via the application of a theoretical framework will improve these efforts.},

However, there remain notable gaps in communicating these digital opportunities (value) throughout a firm, creating barriers to justifying this type of transformation, and limiting their adoption. The purpose of this paper is to explore this gap, using input from three industrial case studies, and to create a framework that recognises relevant metrics to identify and communicate this (digital) value. The findings from these case studies highlight the importance of translating metrics between different levels of a firm and communicating visually these to better appreciate the new digitally[1]enabled value (co-)creation process.},

abstract = {Within the smart factory environment, we have a complex system of systems composed of Industry 4.0/digital technologies and assets with varying lifespans. Different degrees of innovation maturity and different lifespans of integrated assets within the industrial internet of things (IIOT) are considered problematic and lead to different perspectives on asset lifecycles as they impact significantly on the asset lifespans. This leads to the loss of a clear end-of-life phase defined in existing Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) models. Through an integrative literature review, this study introduces the concept of nested lifecycles that takes a systems perspective to asset management, and considers subsystems with different lifespans that must be managed holistically by different actors with different perspectives. Additionally, this study provides a framework to derive strategies for lifecycle management by allowing the nested lifecycles to be clearly identified and then addressed. From the theoretical perspective, the notion of nested lifecycles provides a novel viewpoint for the asset management and PLM research community. From the managerial perspective, the proposed framework will help managers identify why and where collaboration between different actors may create difficulties due to their varying outlooks and training.},
