ReCiPSS D4.3- Circular Supply/Value Chains Training & Evaluation Report

The purpose of this deliverable is to sustainably embed developments of circular value/supply chains (WP4) by implementing trainings, seminars, workshops with key stakeholders of pilot demos in ReCiPSS.

This document enlists the stakeholder training activities held based on the key learnings from the work on circular value/ supply chains in WP4 as well as the general awareness of the circular economy.

To disseminate the learnings from WP4, a circular supply chain workshop was held online with key partners. The significance of simulations in catering the complexity of circular manufacturing systems in general and supply chain, in particular, were shared in a panel discussion format. To share the learnings and key findings from the simulations developed in D4.1, three webinars were pre-recorded and shared online consisting of a webinar on simulation techniques, circular supply chains in the automotive and white goods industry respectively.

For comprehensive training on circular manufacturing systems, a board game developed by CirBES team was offered in an interactive training format to the automotive demonstrator.

The evaluation of supply chain activities requires input data from the demonstrators. Since the pilot is delayed due to COVID, at the time of submission of the deliverable it was not possible to report the quantitative data; nevertheless, D4.3 compiles a list of potential circular supply chain KPIs from peer-reviewed literature, reports and ReCiPSS proposal into an excel document that can be used for the evaluation of the supply chain.
