The realization of a successful product requires collaboration between developers and producers, taking account of stakeholder value, reinforcing the contribution of industry to society and enhancing the wellbeing of workers while respecting planetary boundaries. Founded in 2006, the Swedish Production Academy (SPA) aims to drive and develop production research and education and to increase cooperation within the production area. This book presents the proceedings of the 10th Swedish Production Symposium (SPS2022), held in Skövde, Sweden, from 26-29 April 2022. The overall theme of the symposium was ‘Industry 5.0 Transformation – Towards a Sustainable, Human-Centric, and Resilient Production’. Since its inception in 2007, the purpose of SPS has been to facilitate an event at which members and interested participants from industry and academia can meet to exchange ideas. The 69 papers accepted for presentation here are grouped into ten sections: resource-efficient production; flexible production; humans in the production system; circular production systems and maintenance; integrated product and production development; industrial optimization and decision-making; cyber-physical production systems and digital twins; innovative production processes and additive manufacturing; smart and resilient supply chains; and linking research and education. Also included are three sections covering the Special Sessions at SPS2022: artificial intelligence and industrial analytics in industry 4.0; development of resilient and sustainable production systems; and boundary crossing and boundary objects in product and production development. The book will be of interest to all those involved in the development and production of future products.

The global economy's growth has come at a cost: environmental degradation and resource depletion. As businesses strive to meet increasing consumer demands, traditional supply chains prioritize cost and efficiency over sustainability. This approach is no longer viable in a world facing climate change and resource scarcity. The problem is apparent: how can businesses transition to sustainable practices without compromising profitability and operational efficiency? Green Supply Chain Management Practice and Principles promotes the establishment of a green supply chain as the key. It offers a comprehensive guide to integrating eco-friendly practices into every aspect of the supply chain, from sourcing raw materials to waste management. Through a combination of theory, practical insights, and real-world case studies, this book equips businesses, researchers, and students with the tools to understand and implement green supply chain practices.
