KryPSS

Existing approaches are fragmented and do not follow a systemic approach. To date, companies have implemented, if at all, mainly technically oriented measures. There is a lack of holistic approaches that systematically combine different circular strategies and thereby enable a tailored circular realignment of business models. An integrated approach tailored to the requirements of SMEs offers the opportunity to develop new solutions for circular products, reduce resource consumption, prevent supply bottlenecks, and achieve positive environmental effects.

The platform to be developed, the KryPSS Transformation Suite, consists of a structured solution space for circular strategies, the KryPSS maturity model, and an implementation model for SMEs. It brings together all relevant business model, technology, and competence modules.
Following an assessment of the company’s current status, transformation plans will be developed. As part of this process, product design, production, and return flows will be jointly developed and established with employees and value creation partners in a holistic process. This creates a practice-oriented transformation pathway that connects technology, organization, and stakeholders.

Companies, particularly SMEs, will be enabled to design circular business models, align value creation processes in a resource-efficient manner, and thereby also strengthen international value creation networks. Employees, in particular, will benefit through competence development and a clear value orientation.
