title = "Greener Information Systems for Product Configuration Management: Towards Adaptation to Sustainability Requirements",
abstract = "The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the need to reconceptualize the dimension of product life-cycle management systems related to product configuration to embrace data of the specific sustainability impact of the configuration choices. While this is very much related to physical products, the information systems dimension is fundamental to include to model, decide, document, trace and review sustainability of products. This paper is based on a longitudinal case study along with a comprehensive literature review. Key findings related to the isolation of product configuration systems as key determinants for specific sustainability in a governed and traceable form. These systems do largely not cover sustainability as of today: A redesign is needed. A research agenda is outlined combining sustainability-thinking with socio-technical design. A proposal for the design is presented using a multi-level, multi-tier approach to Product Configuration Systems. The process has major implications around in the industry as legislators are mandating extensive documentation for specific choices and documentation of the sustainability impact of physical products.",
