Abstract
A sustainable design of production systems is essential for the future viability of the economy. In this context, biointelligent production systems (BIS) are currently considered one of the most innovative paths for a comprehensive reorientation of existing industrial patterns. BIS are intended to enable a highly localized on-demand production of personalized goods via stand-alone non-expert systems. Recent studies in this field have primarily adopted a technical perspective; this paper addresses the larger picture by discussing the essential issues of integrated production system design. Following a normative logic, we introduce the basic principle of systemic life cycle thinking in cellular units as the foundation of a management framework for BIS. Thereupon, we develop a coherent theoretical model of a future decentralized production system and derive perspectives for future research and development in key areas of management.

Summary
Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. Sustainability has become an increasingly relevant societal [1], political [2] and corporate topic [3,4]. Despite immense technological progress in the past years, current methods of industrial production are not sufficient to establish a sustainable economic system [5]. In response to increasing pressure, e.g., from the Fridays/Scientists for Future movements [1], the European Commission has recognized climate change as one of today’s major challenges and provides a framework for the development of a new economic model. The so-called European Green Deal urges EU member states to significantly reduce their level of emissions and envisages Europe to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050 [8]
