Living Labs: The Way to Successful Introduction of Innovations in Production Management

Posted April 30, 2015 | Leadership | Amplify

The idea of a Living Lab has emerged over the last few years as a means of deploying an ecosystem that will not only allow the evaluation and fulfillment of requirements in the context of a research project, but will also enable users, experimenters, and practitioners -- from several research domains -- to test and exploit its functionality. Contrary to test beds, which focus on the requirements of the projects that initiate them, a Living Lab supports a greater scope and allows itself to evolve into more mature stages, thus ensuring its applicability for many years.
