Full textAbstract:
Real Earnings Management (REM) and financial success may have different relationships depending on how managers act. Bonus mechanisms are a significant factor that influences management behavior. The study seeks to examine the impact of bonus systems on the correlation between financial performance and REM practices in manufacturing companies in Indonesia. Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) is employed to evaluate the influence of bonus mechanisms in moderating the association of financial performance on REM. The technique of purposive sampling was used to pick the sample. The study utilized data from manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2017 to 2021, including a total of 400 observed data points. The research findings demonstrate that sales growth is the sole factor that significantly influences REM in manufacturing organizations, as indicated by a p-value below 10%. Other financial performance factors, on the other hand, with p-values for each variable above 10%, have not been shown to have a significant impact on REM. These factors include ROA, leverage, operating cash flow, and cash. The findings also demonstrate that, with a p-value for each variable above 10%, the bonus mechanism is a variable that modifies the effect of all financial performance variables on REM.

Full textAbstract:
The company that is synonymous with the application of science and technology is the manufacturing industry (Krmela et al., 2022). Manufacturing companies in Indonesia have been accustomed to the use of technology in their production activities so far, because technology really helps the company’s production to be more effective (Muchran, 2020). This study examines the effect of innovation efficiency on firm performance and the moderating role of ownership concentration on this effect. This study examines innovation efficiency as the optimal combination of innovation input and innovation output. The inputs used are research and development expenses, machine repair expenses, and information technology purchases. Meanwhile, the output of innovation. This study used 616 annual reports of manufacturing companies from 2013 to 2018. The analytical technique used is a moderated regression analysis. The results show that efficiency is positively and significantly correlated with company performance. In addition, the results of the study provide evidence of concentrated ownership, encouraging managers to be more intensive in carrying out innovation efficiency so that it affects increasing company performance. These findings show that there is efficiency in innovation projects that can improve company performance, and companies with concentrated ownership find it easier to carry out innovation efficiency because of the active involvement of shareholders in the management process when innovation projects are implemented aimed at improving company performance.

The Covid-19 condition that has passed has provided many important lessons and has disrupted the performance and productivity of almost all industries, including manufacturing companies. Such condition has become a challenging task for companies to find solutions to maximize company value to survive, let alone increase in these conditions. Bad like that. This research aims to confirm whether company size, board of commissioners, and Covid-19 conditions significantly affect company value. By taking data from manufacturing companies during the past two years of research during the Covid-19 period, this study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis techniques and modeling Covid-19 as a moderator. This study uses a purposive sampling method to select manufacturing companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The research data spans two years upon 159 companies, resulting in 318 data points. The research results show that the variables of company size and board of commissioners do not significantly affect company value, but Covid-19 can significantly influence company value. Covid-19 then moderated the company size and board of commissioners variables, and it was discovered that the company size and board of commissioners variables had a significant influence on company value; this demonstrates that Covid-19 has had a devastating effect on company value.

Subject area Operations strategy/global operations/value chain. Study level/applicability BA/Master level – the case can be applied to support operations strategy discussions related to the link between context, configuration and capabilities, and particularly to discuss internationalization strategy and global operations. Case overview The case examines how Gabriel, a Danish textile company, transformed itself from being a traditional textile manufacturer to becoming an innovative virtual servi-manufacturer. The case covers the main milestones in Gabriel's recent history, explores the main reasons for the transformation that started in the late 1990s and studies how this transformation towards becoming a virtual servi-manufacturer was dealt with. The case closes with the sections examining the role of innovation activities in the newly transformed company. Expected learning outcomes The case is expected to build an understanding of the organisational and operational implications of the journey towards the virtual production company. While the case is broad in its scope, it provides an opportunity to go into details on a number of interrelated topics: operations strategy; global production networks; communication and coordination; interdependencies; and outsourcing and offshoring. The story of Gabriel illustrates a highly successful globalization journey and its underlying dynamics. The case highlights how the operations configuration and the relationships between key parties do not stay constant over time. They rather shift and adapt to internal and external stimuli. The case explores these stimuli in retrospect and describes how the company attempts to reconcile market requirements with its operations configurations and capabilities.

Industry 4.0 will facilitate and simplify communication processes in manufacturing. Digital technologies are gaining ground, from the emergence of cloud computing to Big Data analytics and IoT. The rapid evolution of digital technologies has fundamentally changed the competitive landscape of manufacturing companies, forcing manufacturing companies to digitise and transform their organisations. ERP systems play a key role for SMEs, as this is an area where SMEs have been lagging far behind large companies. At the same time, there are technical and human barriers to the adoption of advanced technologies, the combined effect of which can cause serious disruption to manufacturing processes. In recent years, digitalisation changes have created a number of new opportunities to secure long-term competitive advantages by systematically improving production performance and/or gradually reducing production costs. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the emerging challenges through a concrete company case study.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the e-book is to present the theoretical, cognitive and practical aspects of the essence and complexity of operational management in a production company. The presented modern production methods together with the challenges and problems of contemporary enterprises should better help to understand the issues of sustainable development, with particular emphasis on waste. The book consists of six chapters devoted to relevant and topic issues relating to the core business of an industrial enterprise. Chapter 1 The nature of the industrial enterprise is an introduction to further considerations and deals with the essence of the basic aspects of the company. Both popular and less known definitions of an enterprise, its features, functions and principles of operation are presented. An important part of the chapter is the presentation and formulation of strategic, tactical and operational goals. Moreover, the division of enterprises is presented with the use of various criteria and the features of the industrial market, which make it distinct. Chapter 2 The operational management evolution and its role in the industrial enterprise discusses the evolution and concept of production and operational management. The management levels were also presented, indicating their most important functions. An integral part of the chapter is the essence of the production system, viewed through the prism of the five elements. Chapter 3 Functions and role in operations management presents the issues concerning the organization of production processes, production capacity and inventory management. This part also presents considerations on cooperation and collaboration between enterprises in the process of creating value. Chapter 4 Traditional methods used in operational activities focuses on methods such as benchmarking, outsourcing, core competences, JIT, MPR I and MRP II, as well as TQM and kaizen. Knowledge of these methods should contribute to understanding the activities of modern enterprises, the way of company functioning, the realization of production activities, as well as aspects related to building a competitive position. Chapter 5 Modern methods used in production-operations management discusses the less common and less frequently used production methods, based on a modern and innovative approach. In particular, it was focused on: Shop Floor Control and cooperative manufacturing, environment-conscious manufacturing (ECM) and life-cycle assessment ( LCA), waste management and recycling, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), virtual enterprise, World Class Manufacturing (WCM), Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and House of Quality (HOQ), theory of constraints (TOC), Drum Buffer Rope (DBR), group technology (GT) and cellular manufacturing (CM), Demand Chain Management and competitive intelligence (CI). In the last section discusses: the role of sustainable statistical process control and Computer-Aided Process Planning in context formatting of information management. Chapter 6 Problems of sustainable development and challenges related to production and operations management describes the problem and challenges related to production and operations activities. In particular, attention was paid to the threats related to changes in global warming, the growing scale of waste, or the processes of globalization. It was pointed out that the emerging problem may be both a threat and a chance for the development of enterprises. An integral part of the chapter are also considerations on technical progress, innovation and the importance of human capital in operational activities.

Anthony Overton is widely regarded as one of the twentieth century’s most significant African American entrepreneurs. Overton, at his peak, presided over a Chicago-based financial empire that included a personal care products company (Overton Hygienic Manufacturing Company) a bank (Douglass National Bank), an insurance company (Victory Life Insurance Company) a popular periodical (the Half-Century Magazine), and a newspaper (Chicago Bee). This impressive business portfolio contributed to Overton being the first businessman to win the NAACP’s Spingarn Medal in 1927, as well as him currently being acknowledged in the Harvard University Business School’s database of “American Business Leaders of the Twentieth Century” as the first African American to head a major business conglomerate. Nevertheless, despite Overton’s noteworthy entrepreneurial accomplishments, he remains a mysterious figure. The most readily apparent reason for this is the unavailability of his business records and personal papers. Still, because of Anthony Overton’s prominence, a large body of scattered alternative primary and secondary sources were available to construct this biography. Along with examining Anthony Overton and his accomplishments, this book places his activities in the context of larger societal occurrences in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century America. Moreover, by recounting Overton’s life story, this biography seeks to more fully illuminate the role of business and entrepreneurship in the African American experience.

Full textAbstract:
Using a novel panel survey of enterprises in Myanmar, we compare the performance of manufacturing firms by three different informality definitions. The first is binary, based on whether firms pay taxes. The second captures five categories of registration with the authorities, and the third definition relates to three groupings of the informality status of a firm’s workers. Depending on the informality concept used, formalization has positive, insignificant, and negative performance outcomes. However, our analysis shows that independent of the informality definition, differences between formalizers and non-formalizers are mostly because of disparities in the number of employees, capital, and use of power-driven machinery. Education, business practices, gender, location, and sector only play a role for some of the definitions and performance variables.

AbstractThe Internet of Production (IoP), the global and integrated use of production data, will completely reshape how organizations operate and interact with each other. We introduce how these developments will affect the usage phase including value creation and capture in the future manufacturing ecosystem. Our analysis highlights requirements and implications for governance, organization, capabilities, and interfaces. These factors are considered from both a company internal and a company external perspective on usage as well as in terms of their interplay. The internal perspective focuses on the role of humans in interacting with IoP-based technology in future socio-technical production systems. The external perspective describes how value is captured and shared between stakeholders by incorporating data based on platform-based industrial ecosystems. The interplay of the two perspectives is exemplarily discussed using a foresight study on next-generation manufacturing.

AbstractDigital twin technology has become a driving force in the transformation of the manufacturing industry, playing a crucial role in optimizing processes, increasing productivity, and enhancing product quality. A digital twin (DT) is a digital representation of a physical entity or process, modeled to improve decision-making in a safe and cost-efficient environment. Digital twins (DTs) cover a range of problems in different domains at different phases in the lifecycle of a product or process. DTs have gained momentum due to their seamless integration with technologies such as IoT, machine learning algorithms, and analytics solutions. DTs can have different scopes in the manufacturing domain, including process level, system level, asset level, and component level. This work presents the knowlEdge Digital Twin Framework (DTF), a toolkit that comprises a set of tools to create specific instances of DTs in the manufacturing process. This chapter explains how the DTF relates to other standards, such as ISO 23247. This chapter also presents the implementation done for a dairy company.

AbstractImproving worker safety and productivity is of paramount importance in the manufacturing industry, driving the adoption of advanced sensing and control systems. This concern is particularly relevant within the framework of Industry 5.0. In this context, wearable sensors offer a promising solution by enabling continuous and unobtrusive monitoring of workers’ activities in the manufacturing line. This book chapter focuses on wearable sensor-based human activity recognition and its role in promoting worker safety in manufacturing environments. Specifically, we present a case study on wearable sensor-based worker activity recognition in a manufacturing line with a mobile robot. As wearable sensors comprise various sensor types, we investigate and compare sensor data fusion approaches using neural network models to effectively handle the multimodal sensor data. In addition, we introduce several deep learning-based techniques to improve the performance of human activity recognition. By harnessing wearable sensors for human activity recognition, this book chapter provides valuable insights into improving worker safety on the manufacturing line, aligning with the principles of the Industry 5.0 paradigm. The chapter sheds light on the potential of wearable sensor technologies and offers avenues for future research in this field.

AbstractEquipment manufacturers (EMs) exhibit unsustainable operating patterns in linear production models by depleting finite materials. In this context, future business environments in industrial markets shift fundamentally and form a new sustainability paradigm stimulated by key drivers, e.g., end customer behavior. Considering the market shift, this research explores an overview of prerequisites in the transition toward a sustainable business model in industrial markets. Prior research exhibited product life cycle extensions for industrial assets facilitated by the most common R-principles “reuse”, “remanufacture”, and “recycle”. Leaning on previous research, recycling is instrumentalized for some materials, e.g., polyethylene terephthalate (PET). For industrial assets, manufactured products, such implementation efforts for EMs fall short. Investigating the shortage, this study (1) scrutinizes the role of recycling in the transition towards a sustainable business model, (2) identifies appropriate characteristics of industrial assets facilitating recycling, and (3) evaluates parameters to operationalize a recycling value chain (RVC). In a practice-based project, involving a Swiss-based equipment manufacturing company, mixed methods are applied. The results propose key drivers and characteristics facilitating recycling efforts of industrial assets and parameters fostering an RVC. Future research should increase the number of sample EMs and scrutinize the role of various RVC actors to exceed present limitations.

AbstractThe valve train plays a major role in the performance of internal combustion engines by controlling the combustion process and it is therefore one of the key aspects for increasing the efficiency of combustion engines. Considering the dynamics, the spring force must be high enough to reliably close the valve preventing from seating bouncing due to surge modes after the valve closure. On the other side, the spring force should be kept as low as possible in order to reduce the engine friction losses and consequently the fuel consumption. In the high-performance engines, the valve springs have to be designed and optimized for sustaining higher stresses with compact dimensions leading to critical material and manufacturing processes. This requires a reduction of moving masses and a strong focus on design and process optimization of the coil springs for reducing the mechanical load and the friction losses at low engine speed. At the same time, valve train should be reliable at high engine speed. The calculation of stresses and contact forces for moving parts under dynamic load is essential for durability analysis. A method to calculate the contact of moving masses is described and proposed to justify valve motions experimental results. To fully understand the failure mechanism of test bed reliability trials, the dynamic stresses have been calculated modeling the real springs’ shape. The contact forces have been reproduced considering the coil clash effects and the dynamic behavior of the flexible spring.

The purpose of this case study is to discuss the leadership role in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and thus on the company's competitiveness, performance, and reputation. The case highlights the adoption of CSR as a long-term strategy in a manufacturing family business located within a highly volatile country in the Arab world where awareness of CSR is not prevailing. By interviewing the owners and senior managers of Royal Industrial Trading Company, one is able to understand how they view their social responsibilities and how they insert CSR into the company's strategy. Royal has a number of corporate social responsibility policy aims but its current disclosures do not provide a sufficient level of detail to adequately assess the social impact of their activities or link their activities to the achievement of specific stated social aims. The company is enjoying the rewards of improved competitive position, the benefit to their shareholders, and the benefit to the society at large.

Abstract In 1970s when industrial revolution was at its boom in India, four engineers started manufacturing of Stainless steel and Mild steel for pharmaceutical, chemical, fertilisers, and many other companies. The chaos started in 1978 due to financial crisis in the organization, the two labour unions and their demands is the central character of the case. The case throws light on how due to leadership issues, the management of the company always takes the benefit of different leaders by keeping a different relationship with two different leaders. Almost two decades due to disputes between two union companies could not give principal benefits to the employee as they demanded at the beginning of the company’s establishment. The case discusses on various laws provided to safeguard employee benefits by the state. It narrates the benefit and struggle of employees in SME’s.

Abstract Currently the Energy Industry and Industrial Power Plants are committed to support sustainable development balancing environmental, economic, and social benefits. As the first two aspects are fully covered by environmental lifecycle assessment and life cycle costing, the third one is covered only for the portion regarding human health while other aspects, like local employment, contribution to economic development, supplier’s relationship, are not so easy to be measured. Social life cycle assessment (S-LCA) is considered a powerful tool to measure and improve a company’s sustainability. Yet there is not a unique way of measuring how a company or even a product is impacting on the well-being of the society. In general, S-LCA is seen as an opportunity to improve a company’s reputation, it can help handling social aspects in the lifecycle of a product or service. S-LCA methodology is evolving since 1996 when first attempt to evaluate the social impact of a product rose and many methodologies and databases are now available; at present the phase of S-LCA development is the research of standardization. A use case of S-LCA application to a gas turbine component will be presented comparing the impact of moving the production of one component from Investment Casting to Additive Manufacturing plus insourcing coating execution: proving the benefit of applying S-LCA to products. The findings allow comparing design and manufacturing alternatives to maximize sustainability of a product manufacturing.

Measuring Cost of Quality (COQ) seems to be a critical factor for organizations in order to keep or grow their market share. However, until now the COQ has been measured almost exclusively only internally, i.e. within a company, while the role of a supply chain in delivering quality product to end users has been ignored. In this paper we argue that all the entities within supply chain affect the quality of a product or a service and their quality related activities should thus be inevitably considered. The objective of this research is to develop a mathematical model to estimate COQ as key performance measurement within manufacturing supply chain while considering quality Excellency status. Using classic PAF (Prevention-Appraisal-Failure) model classification to develop mathematical model and its integration with significant variables in supply chain entities are the key methodology in this work. Perceived quality is assumed as an appropriate definition of quality in manufacturing supply chain. Moreover, proposed model is examined against real time quality cost data of manufacturing supply chain in two intervals, first at quality immaturity period and then at quality maturity period. Statistical tools are used to validate the model and compare its behaviour in the two intervals. The results are then analyzed and discussed, and possible future works are presented.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a significant role in the EU economy and account for a large number of employment opportunities. Improvements in the working conditions and well-being of employees in SMEs are crucial for the development of businesses, societies, and workers. This study investigated and developed the safety, health, and well-being (SHW) of employees in SME manufacturing companies. The proposed company-specific development process involved four companies and consisted of an e-survey, interviews, and a workshop. Both employers and employee representatives participated in the process. The process revealed a good working community and support received from others as resources in the studied companies. The factors needing development were found to be work posture and movement, workplace thermal environment, communication, haste, orderliness, and tidiness. This study provides knowledge about SHW risks, resources, and development measures in manufacturing SMEs.

Incoming quality control (IQC) is integral to quality management system of manufacturing industries. IQC plays a significant role in ensuring delivery of high standard products to the target customers and, in turn, affects the company’s reputation and their competitiveness in the industry. Presenting a case from a biotechnology company, the purpose of this research is to develop a quality control system for inspection improvement of a biotechnological device. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the IQC Department encountered inconsistencies with output rate when providing inspected parts to the Manufacturing Department: an issue that could be mitigated with a documented process that addresses the prevalent issues that plague the current unestablished IQC system. This study utilized the Lean Six Sigma Methodology to achieve improvement for the IQC Department practice for enhanced performance by identifying root causes of inconsistencies, and creating a systematic documented process for IQC department. Upon successful analysis and implementation of the new IQC inspecting system, the non-value-added time decreased by over fifty percent. While this project is the first stepping stone in improving the IQC Department, its significant results emphasizes the integral contribution of quality control and Six Sigma practices in creating a continuous improvement system which ensures consistent high-quality instruments are being produced for the customers.

Abstract Speed of product to the market place was always important. This has become increasingly so with the onslaught of globalisation. What is released on the High Street in the USA today will be sold on the shelves and counters of shops in other continents within days. This has placed pressure on the designer to complete his task or contract with even more alacrity than was the case, even as recently as ten years ago. The cliché “we have the Technology”, is a truism in the world of manufacturing and design, but use of the available technology is, perhaps, not as apparent as it is generally accepted to be. In order to get the product to the market at the right price demands an ever closer liaison between the product designer and the client. More often than not, the “product” is an enhancement or improvement of one which already exists. In addition, it is not unusual for the designer to be a contractor or 3rd party not physically resident in the premises of the client. As a consequence, communication is rarely conducted face to face but via other means, ie e-mail, telephone etc. Yet, in order to prevent misunderstanding, it is essential that correct information is relayed between the relevant parties. It is also necessary for the information about changes in the product to be available to other members of the client’s company so that the necessary decisions regarding price, sales schedules, re-tooling etc. can be made. Ultimately, these changes will have to be incorporated in the company’s Business Plan. Research at Bournemouth University suggests that use of the technology available to relay information is not as widespread as it could be. The three major areas of finance, product and design have been approached and the results of the research appear below.

"The Role of an Individual Lack-of-Fusion Defect in the Fatigue Performance of Additive Manufactured Ti-6Al-4V Part." In 2022 International Additive Manufacturing Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/iam2022-94120.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Additive manufacturing techniques have made AM Ti-6Al-4V parts a reality in many industries. However, despite the optimism, their poor fatigue performance especially in high cycle regime is the major hurdle for the industry accepting it as mainstream. One of the reasons owes to the widely distributed internal defects inherent to the AM process, which create a hotbed for fatigue crack initiation. Available investigations on lack of fusions, regarded as the most detrimental defects, are very limited. Regarding this, we conducted finite element analysis to evaluate the fatigue performance of Ti-6Al-4V alloys with an individual lack-of-fusion defect. Three different lack-of-fusion defects, directly scanned from Selective Laser Melting Ti-6Al-4V coupons using Micro-Computed Tomography with different geometry features, have been numerically analyzed. We compare the mechanical results (e.g., stress, strain, and elastic stress concentration factors) of the lack-of-fusion defects to the results of gas-entrapped pores, which share the same height and the same volume, to reveal the detriment of lack-of-fusion defects. Furthermore, we conduct a parametric study on lack-of-fusion defects orientation and size, as well as the aspect ratios. The results provide a better understanding of the mechanical behavior of the lack-of-fusion defects in additive manufactured Ti-6Al-4V alloys, paving the way for further research of additive manufactured metallic alloys.

Abstract While additive manufacturing (AM) of metallic materials (commonly known as metal 3D printing) has greatly advanced in the aerospace and medical industries in recent years, the oil & gas sector still lags in adopting the technology. One aspect that plays a key role in this scenario, especially for subsea components, is the robust set of requirements. Despite recent progress made via joint industrial projects (JIP) to establish an internationally acceptable framework for AM applications, there are still issues that need to be addressed to fully take advantage of what the technology has to offer. One of the challenges is selecting the most appropriate parts. The objective of this work, therefore, is to analyze the portfolio of an oil & gas company to identify opportunities and select one metallic subsea component that is more suitable to be manufactured using laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF), an AM technology with a high degree of maturity and widespread industrial use. Through a program designed to identify best uses of AM and to accelerate its application, a multidisciplinary team of engineers, product managers and designers teamed up with AM experts to conduct high-level assessment and detailed evaluation of the portfolio to identify the best candidates considering both technical and economic criteria. The main contribution of this study is the generation of data that can lead to a better understanding of the applicability of AM in the oil and gas industry, particularly in subsea applications. The results obtained can also guide future developments aimed at integrating AM into the oil & gas production chain.

Abstract Heat exchangers play a vital role in ongoing efforts to conserve energy. Plate-type heat exchangers typically consist of two flat separated flow paths in which heat transfer enhancing matrices are inserted. The combined effects of small irregular hydraulic diameters along with elevated heat transfer areas results in highly-efficient heat transfer to the external fluid. This allows for very versatile and compact heat exchanger designs. Typical plate-type heat exchanger fabrication methods such as brazing are labour intensive and limit post-processing operations like welding. In this paper, a novel micro-heat exchanger fabrication method using recently patented technologies is presented. The approach uses thermal spray processes such as Pulsed Gas Dynamic Spraying (PGDS) as an alternative to brazing for the production of a pressure barrier and integration of flow headers.

Full textAbstract:
The New Space Age (NewSpace) marks the advent of a new era in the use of space, characterized by the opening of space to new players, the use of new space technologies, new functionalities for satellites in orbit, and the development of satellite constellations, mainly in the fields of communications and Earth observation. These developments are underpinned by first-rate scientific and technological advances, as well as considerable public and private investment, in particular in the USA, China and, to a lesser extent, Europe. Fleets of small low- and medium-orbit satellites are replacing or complementing the large geostationary satellites that predominated in the previous period. Whereas space used to be reserved to a small number of states and major industrial groups, one is now witnessing the emergence of new space states, new industrial groups such as SpaceX or Amazon, and many start-ups. One also observes the emergence of companies with launching and satellite manufacturing capacities, which are also taking on the role of telecommunication operators and content producers. The most visible result of the deployment of these new space networks is the ability to provide high-speed, low-latency Internet connections to any point on the globe. Combined with Earth observation capabilities, these new communications resources also enable real-time action to be taken in any region, including those with no equipment other than terminals. In addition, these space networks are remarkably resilient compared with terrestrial networks. Geostrategic and military considerations combine with rapidly evolving business models to explain the massive investments currently being made in this domain. However, the lack of international regulation in the field is leading to a race to occupy orbits and frequencies, which has already had serious consequences for a whole range of scientific activities. These constellations have a potentially negative impact on astronomy in the visible and infrared optical domains, as well as on radio astronomy. They also raise a major problem in terms of space congestion, with an increase in the amounts of satellite debris resulting from launches or collisions between satellites, and the possibility of reaching a phase of chain reaction collisions. In addition, from an environmental point of view, the consequences of the proliferation of launches and uncontrolled re-entries into the atmosphere are equally worrying. What’s more, the lack of regulation in the field also leads to a loss of sovereignty, since these new satellite communication networks do not comply with any of the rules that states impose on terrestrial communication networks operating on their territories. A sustainable, global solution must be found to these problems, before major and potentially irreversible damage is inflicted on the planet’s environment, geostrategic balances, democracy, and science. While the Acad´emie des Sciences considers that France and Europe need to step up their scientific and industrial actions in this field in order to benefit from the remarkable advances of these new networks, and ultimately leverage the benefits of a resilient and secure communications network, the Acad´emie also recommends working in parallel to strengthen regulation of the field with the aim of assuring sustainable access to orbital and frequency resources, as well as protection for negatively impacted fields, foremost among which are astronomy and the environment.
