The interplay of demand, internal, and supply factors in shaping maintenance performance: insights from the lithium-ion battery industry

Övrigt konferensbidrag, 2024

his study explores the complex interactions among demand, internal, and supply factors influencing maintenance performance in lithium-ion battery production plants. Adopting a supply chain complexity theory lens, we conducted a qualitative analysis using an engaged scholar approach, uncovering an extensive network of relationships beyond individual complexity sources. Our findings contribute to supply chain complexity and maintenance operations literature, emphasizing factor interplay and context-specificity in designing maintenance strategies. For managers, we offer practical guidance on effectively managing complexity in maintenance operations. This study provides a foundation for future research in navigating the complex battery production landscape.
