Abstract:
The shift from linear to circular value creation is driving a fundamental transformation across all sectors of manufacturing organizations. While maturity models are commonly used to assess and support this transition, they often lack comprehensiveness and the capacity to handle uncertainty. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes a holistic Fuzzy Logic-based approach for assessing Circular Economy maturity. Circular Economy maturity indicators are processed through a multi-stage fuzzy system, enabling the identification of potential areas for change within the organization. This approach provides actionable insights to enhance the organization�s circularity.
