Exploiting Life Cycle Innovation

Abstract

Life cycle innovation is achieved by continuous technology insertion in each stage of the life cycle. For capital assets, opportunities for innovation are produced through integration, collaboration and long term partnerships. Such opportunities arise in the acquisition phase, and the client must balance product, process and supply chain decisions. To understand what is missing in the innovation chain, we present a novel life cycle model relating products and capital assets. We then provide a framework that exposes links between the asset and maintenance architectures. We believe both to be fundamental contributions for reducing uncertainty, helping collaboration in complex projects.
