Item DECENTRALIZED INDUSTRY 5.0: BLOCKCHAIN’S CONTRIBUTION TO INDUSTRIAL SUSTAINABILITY, RESILIENCE, AND HUMAN-CENTRICITY(2023-11) Lage, Oscar; Saiz-Santos, María; Zarzuelo, José Manuel; CIBERSEC&DLTThe emerging Industry 5.0 presents new challenges related to sustainability, resilience, and worker welfare in industrial companies; challenges that are vital for industrial and social development in the coming years. We believe that blockchain can help to face these challenges thanks to the trust and security it provides in complex ecosystems such as industrial supply chains. To verify this hypothesis, this paper performs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on two stages. A first stage focused on the analysis of publications related to blockchain and Industry 5.0. Being such a novel term and with limited literature, we complemented the analysis with a second stage in which we analyzed the benefits of blockchain on each of the three pillars of Industry 5.0: sustainability, resilience, and human-centricity. The results of the SLR confirm our initial hypothesis and provide details on how, and to what extent, blockchain can add value to each of the three challenges of Industry 5.0, empowering at least nine use cases that will contribute to those challenges.Item Expanding lean thinking to the product and process design and development within the framework of sustainability(2012) Sorli, M.; Sopelana, A.; Salgado, M.; Pelaez, G.; Ares, E.; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; LABORATORIO DE TRANSFORMACIÓN URBANACompanies require tools to change towards a new way of developing and producing innovative products to be manufactured considering the economic, social and environmental impact along the product life cycle. Based on translating Lean principles in Product Development (PD) from the design stage and, along the entire product life cycle, it is aimed to address both sustainability and environmental issues. The drivers of sustainable culture within a lean PD have been identified and a baseline for future research on the development of appropriate tools and techniques has been provided. This research provide industry with a framework which balance environmental and sustainable factors with lean principles to be considered and incorporated from the beginning of product design and development covering the entire product lifecycle.
