Summary: Many studies have shown that Product-Service System (PSS) has the potential to contribute to sustainable management practices and Circular Economy (CE). This research investigated how the agricultural machinery industry perceives environmental sustainability and product-oriented PSS, and proposed a conceptual model for implementing product-oriented PSS in this industry. The study includes a systematic literature review and multiple case studies. The results demonstrate opportunities for offering product-oriented PSS services in traditional industries to guide them towards sustainable practices and highlight the benefits of adopting product-oriented PSS. The diagnosis on sustainability and product-oriented PSS in agricultural machinery companies reveals room for improvement, particularly in addressing socioenvironmental issues.

Summary: Manufacturing servitization, implemented by integrated production and service systems, offers products and associated services. This study explores resource allocation for an IPSS serving two customer classes, finding optimal service for customers with higher cost saving rates. Production policy under light service traffic is similar to a make-to-stock system, effectively hedging uncertainty. Optimal control policies for IPSS extensions show consistency in production and service strategies. Heuristic integrated scheduling policies are developed, with numerical experiments showing one as highly effective.

Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of process parameters in three lean gas ethane recovery processes and establishes a prediction and multiobjective optimization model for ethane recovery and system energy consumption. A new method for comparing ethane recovery processes for lean gas is proposed, and the addition of extra coolers improves the ethane recovery. The support vector regression model based on grey wolf optimization demonstrates the highest prediction accuracy, and the multiobjective multiverse optimization algorithm shows the best optimization performance and diversity in the solutions.

Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.
