02 Critical resources
Levers as industrial strategies enabled by digitalization
Procurement & hedging to mitigate shortage
risks from competing demands
Diversify supply sources and prioritize
sustainable sourcing.
Strategically stockpile critical materials
(without incurring additional costs).
Implement procurement and hedging
strategies to secure essential supplies.
Continuously monitor key component storage
levels in line with market trends and forecasts.
Negotiate 昀椀xed-price contracts for essential
components (e.g., through bookings or options).
Prioritize high-risk materials and components.
Circularity to enhance sustainability and
resource e昀케ciency
Leverage urban mining by reusing spare parts
and production scraps and systematically
applying circular economy principles while
ensuring economic viability.
Incorporate recycled materials into
production processes to reduce dependency
on virgin resources.
Develop dismantling processes to recover
valuable materials, integrating transformation
costs into the overall economic model.
Build a global recycling value chain, including
the management of o昀昀takers to ensure
consistent material 昀氀ow and value recovery.
R&D & process
Favor components with lower resource intensity
or those incorporating recycled materials.
Promote safe substitution strategies,
considering potential negative externalities.
Integrate eco-design practices throughout
product lifecycle.
Extend equipment lifespan through advanced
maintenance strategies.
Digital tools to support mitigation levers
Enable intelligent supply chain capabilities
incorporating resource constraints into
planning algorithms.
Utilize modeling tools for scenario planning.
Use e-procurement systems aligned with
market scenarios
Deploy data platforms to enable circularity
strategies
Implement Life Cycle Asset Management
systems to optimize resource use.
