DESCRIPTION:"Due to the increasing demands for integrating sustainability 
 within business\, manufacturing firms are paying more attention to improve
  their performance in terms of economic\, environmental and social criteri
 a. The integration of these sustainability aspects within manufacturing op
 erations should be done at different levels in manufacturing companies –
  strategic\, tactical and operational. In this context\, the role of maint
 enance is envisioned to contribute towards the integration of sustainabili
 ty in manufacturing by keeping the equipment performing the required funct
 ions while minimizing material and energy consumption.\n\nHowever\, mainte
 nance activities of manufacturing equipment has been often giving in outso
 urcing or contracted out to a third party or the equipment manufacturer. T
 hese maintenance services have been mainly based on transactions\, i.e. th
 e equipment user pays the service provider for getting a job done or provi
 ding assistance and support for equipment operations. Recently\, due to an
  emerging trend for increasing their relational perspective\, industrial m
 aintenance services are becoming more focused on customer value and servic
 e performance levels. Performance-based maintenance services are then repr
 esenting a challenge for equipment manufacturers which are interested in e
 nlarging their service offerings towards more relational and customer-orie
 nted approaches.\n\nThis research investigates how industrial maintenance 
 can be an enabler of more sustainable manufacturing operations through its
  role in the provision of industrial services. The understanding of indust
 rial maintenance from a sustainability perspective is key to incorporate s
 ustainable value into the new service offerings. A method has been finally
  proposed to support service providers to integrate sustainable value into
  their service offerings\, thus providing better customer value."\n\nMARIA
  HOLGADO is a Manufacturing Engineer\, graduated at University of Seville\
 , Spain. She has obtained her PhD in Industrial Engineering at Politecnico
  di Milano (Italy) working on sustainable value creation in manufacturing 
 through the provision of maintenance services (the topic of the buns talk)
 . She has been involved in the EU project SustainValue\, Sustainable Value
  Creation in Manufacturing Networks\, funded by the European Commission’
 s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). The project aim was to develop indust
 rial models\, solutions and performance standards for new sustainable and 
 more performing production and service networks. Her main areas of interes
 t are industrial sustainability\, sustainability-oriented innovations\, su
 stainable business models\, product service systems\, maintenance manageme
 nt and maintenance services.  She has been a Marie-Curie Research Fellow i
 n the European project iMaPla “Integrated Maintenance Planning” in Uni
 versity Federico Santa Maria in Valparaíso\, Chile\, in 2009. She has bee
 n a Visiting Scholar at the Intelligent Maintenance Systems Center in the 
 University of Cincinnati\, US\, in 2013 and at the Institute for Manufactu
 ring in the University of Cambridge\, UK\, in 2014.  Maria Holgado joined 
 the EPSRC Centre for Industrial Sustainability in October 2014. She is cur
 rently involved in the REDRESS project\, funded by InnovateUK\, which aims
  at investigating opportunities to increase the volume and value of textil
 e recovery and driving retained value through business model and supply ch
 ain innovation.
