Abstract
The main objective of spare parts supply is to maximize the service level whilst minimizing costs of tied-up capital, operational activities and administrative processes. Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers the opportunity to decentralize the supply chain and manufacture on-demand without minimum order quantities. While AM could improve sustainability, it also could lead to less eco-efficient localized production or problem shifting within the value chain. To enable a holistic decision support for the changeover to AM, a multi-level framework for the interdisciplinary assessment of AM in spare parts supply is developed and enhanced by an agent-based modelling approach for quantitative assessment.
