    Accessibility is increasingly recognised within mobility transition discourse, yet it often remains insufficiently integrated into planning and governance structures. Based on the Austrian flagship project „Transformator:in”, this paper investigates how accessibility emerges within public mobility space transformation processes. Drawing on a qualitative workshop involving representatives from seven Austrian pilot projects, the study identifies recurring structural challenges concerning fragmented knowledge, unclear responsibilities, normative tensions and low prioritisation. The findings demonstrate that accessibility is rarely absent entirely, but is frequently addressed reactively rather than systematically embedded within transformation processes. Building on Design for All, mobility inclusion and socio-technical transition perspectives, the paper argues that accessibility should be understood not as an isolated technical requirement, but as a structural quality criterion shaping inclusive mobility transformation processes.

    Recent advances in Manufacturing-as-a-Service (MaaS) address decision problems such as scheduling, service selection, and network configuration largely in isolation, lacking a unified orchestration perspective across layers and scopes. This paper proposes a scope-aware orchestration framework that treats orchestration scope (local, organizational, and MaaS platform levels) as an explicit decision variable. Orchestration is formulated as a scope-constrained configuration space problem, where the selected scope filters feasible configurations mapping decomposed manufacturing tasks to distributed resources, including sequencing and logistics flows. The framework structures orchestration as a configuration generation and evaluation process, including network construction, order decomposition, candidate generation, feasibility filtering, and multi-criteria assessment. Rather than a prescriptive optimization method, the framework supports user-driven exploration and comparison of alternatives, enabling decision-makers to incorporate tacit knowledge into orchestration decisions. A proof-of-concept demonstrates its applicability in distributed manufacturing environments.

    In Manufacturing-as-a-Service (MaaS) environments, disruptions such as machine breakdowns or supplier failures require rapid reorchestration of production across distributed internal and external resources. This task is challenging because recovery options must satisfy multiple operational constraints, including capacity, capability compatibility, lead time, cost, and managerial policies. While existing literature addresses service selection, optimization, simulation, and multi-criteria evaluation, the formal generation of feasible reorchestration scenarios under MaaS constraints remains insufficiently structured. This paper proposes a rule-based methodological framework for generating and prioritizing feasible reorchestration scenarios in MaaS disruption contexts. The approach combines disruption-response mapping, scenario construction rules, feasibility filtering, and multi-criteria prioritization based on operational performance indicators. A representative MaaS case study is used to validate the methodology under internal, external, and hybrid response configurations. The results show that the proposed method can systematically construct feasible recovery scenarios and transparently prioritize them according to decision-maker preferences.

    Die aktuelle BVL-Trendstudie verdeutlicht, dass Logistik und Supply Chain Management sich dynamisch weiterentwickeln und Verantwortliche aktiv auf tiefgreifende Veränderungen reagieren. Cybersicherheit, Digitalisierung der Geschäftsprozesse, Kostendruck und Künstliche Intelligenz prägen die strategische Agenda der Unternehmen und eröffnen neue Chancen zur Steigerung von Transparenz, Leistungsfähigkeit, Resilienz und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. Die Umsetzung der Triple Transformation aus Digitalisierung, Nachhaltigkeit und Resilienz hat spürbar an Fahrt aufgenommen: In allen drei Bereichen wurden in den vergangenen Jahren messbare Fortschritte erzielt. Trotz anspruchsvoller politischer Rahmenbedingungen zeigt die Studie somit insgesamt ein Bild von Aufbruch, Gestaltungswillen und Zukunftsfähigkeit der Branche.

    Exploring the role of manufacturing-as-a-service for improving supply chain resilience

    Supply chain resilience (SCR) has been a key focus for researchers and businesses over the past decade. The Covid-19 intensified this attention, highlighting critical issues such as raw material shortages, unpredictable demand shifts, and logistics and supply chain challenges. These disruptions have significantly impacted global supply chains in the last two years. Manufacturing-as-a-Service (MaaS) has emerged as a new service-oriented manufacturing paradigm inspired by cloud manufacturing. MaaS has the potential to support companies in increasing their SCR, e.g., by providing access to a wide pool of suppliers. However, literature is scarce in investigating this relationship. This paper aims to fill this gap through 15 expert interviews exploring the link between SCR capabilities and MaaS. Results suggest that MaaS supports supply chain flexibility, velocity, redundancy and visibility. For the experts, MaaS has a detrimental effect on supply chain collaboration, which is considered an antecedent of SCR for literature. Finally, the functionalities needed in a MaaS system to support SCR are discussed.

    In the current dynamic, volatile, and uncertain world, manufacturing companies face increasing pressure to respond efficiently and rapidly to disruptions, while at the same time adopting sustainable and circular practices. This paper focuses on Manufacturing-as-a-Service (MaaS) for enhancing resilience and promoting circularity in manufacturing value chains. Based on the limitations of existing MaaS research and scarcity of implementations, a systematic methodology is proposed for manufacturing process servitization, manufacturing process and product matching, and manufacturing process connection, collaboration and execution. This methodology supports the scaling of MaaS to a large variety of manufacturing processes, enabling dynamic distributed networks of manufacturing resources. Resiliency enhancing processes are outlined using MaaS for creating alternative value chain orchestrations, as responses to disruptions. Moreover, processes promoting circularity in relation to MaaS and resilience are outlined. This act as support for finding appropriate value chains partners to enable a circular product system and in increasing resilience and circularity simultaneously by reusing and remanufacturing critical components.

    An Initial Design Validation Framework for Cooperative Risk Management in Seaports

    Recent disruptions in supply chains, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have highlighted the importance of cross-organisational risk management for avoiding or mitigating the impacts of operational risks such as supply bottlenecks and demand shocks. Earlier work has presented the CoRiMaS risk management model for seaports, in which stakeholder analysis, risk governance, strategic and tactical risk management, and knowledge management are the key aspects. Considering the lack of validation approaches for cooperative risk management in the general risk literature, and a fortiori in the maritime domain, this article proposes an initial validation framework to test the design of the CoRiMaS risk management model for seaports. Apart from introducing the conceptual basis and practical steps of this validation framework, it is applied to an illustrative case study to clarify its concepts, and to guide further testing and research. The presented case study includes specific scenarios that were discussed with stakeholders in Germany and Finland. The developed framework can be used and expanded to validate the design of similar cooperative risk management models. The results of the illustrative test case based on the initial design validation framework support the development of a theoretically founded cooperative risk management auditing process.
