(2025) A behaviourally informed heuristics-framework for net zero transformation in manufacturing. In: Decarbonizing Value Chains, 20th Global Conference on Sustainable Manufacturing (GCSM 2024), 9-11 October 2024, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering, pp. 689-69897830319389002195-4356https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-93891-7_76https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/24138Transitioning to net zero emissions in manufacturing is fraught with challenges, from navigating uncertainties and making critical trade-offs, to overcoming biases and information asymmetry. Such behavioural challenges could potentially result in bounded rationality, where decision-makers operate under limited information and cognitive constraints. This paper introduces a framework that employs behaviourally informed heuristics to simplify the complexity of net-zero transformation. By incorporating behavioural model of rational choice and decision-making rules, the framework could help manufacturing decision-makers to manage uncertainties and cognitive limitations, thus broadening the toolkit for navigating the reduction of carbon emissions.pp. 689-698enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Net zero manufacturingTransformational frameworkBounded rationalityConference paper2195-4364673937
