Hideki Kobayashi. “A Framework of Stock-based System Design and Management toward a Steady-state Society”. 2016 Electronics Goes Green 2016+ (EGG 2016). Berlin, September 7-9, 2016, Fraunhofer IZM. 2016.

To ensure environmental sustainability, the flow of natural resource extraction must be reduced and stabilized at a suitable level. However, environmental sustainability and an infinitely growing economy are incompatible. To resolve this contradiction, a manufacturing system based on the idea of a sustainable steady-state society is proposed. In such a society, the value of stocks will be more important than that of flows. The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework of an approach for stock-based system design and management suitable for a steadystate society. The approach is supported by new life cycle simulation (LCS) technologies for dynamic handling of in-use stock, such as industrial products and systems. One is an LCS for system of systems that considers interactions among multiple models of the product life cycle. The other is a data assimilation LCS to modify internal data or LCS models based on real data acquired from the field. Concepts and preliminary studies of these LCS technologies show what can be expected for the proposed framework.
