Abstract
There is a growing recognition in industry and research that in order to realise their sustainability ambitions and leverage new enabling technologies, organisations have to innovate not only products or services but the entire business model. This is also the case within the emerging context of re-distributed manufacturing (RdM), where there is an organisational need to configure viable future RdM business models based on data-driven experimentation. We reviewed the literature and synthesised a conceptual framework for sustainable re-distributed manufacturing business models, based on data-driven decision making. In a next step, we will review both system dynamics and agent-based models to identify variables and interrelations between the variables that will help us to model sustainable RdM business models necessary to implement and test the framework within industry.
