Training and Collaborative Research

Many companies struggle with the challenge of identifying tangible and realistic business models that effectively reduce costs, shorten lead times, and enhance sustainability within their supply chains. This often involves navigating complex logistics, integrating new technologies, and rethinking traditional manufacturing processes – all while maintaining operational efficiency. Finding effective solutions in these areas is crucial for maintaining competitiveness and driving long-term success in a rapidly evolving market.

For many years, RISE has been at the forefront of supporting companies with business cases and scenarios within the digital supply chain. We have expertise in qualitative methods to create realistic and relevant decision scenarios, facilitating the transition from physical transport to a more digital demand-driven supply chain.

Today, additive manufacturing is maturing rapidly from being a tool for visualization and prototyping to industrial manufacturing of components and products. The shift towards large-scale industrial additive manufacturing presents opportunities for new business models and enhanced supply chains, transportation, and logistics. Additive manufacturing enables a demand-driven circular production process that can be relocated closer to the customer through distribution centers, regional hubs, dealers/workshops, or factory-in-a-box concepts.
