Long run

Long run

The term "long run" refers to a period of time during which a firm can vary the quantity of all its inputs. It is a time frame that is long enough to allow for adjustments to be made to the production process, such as changes in the amount of labor, capital, and other resources used. In the long run, a firm has greater flexibility to make strategic decisions that can impact its overall performance and profitability.From: Lean Manufacturing [2019]

Firstly, the young generation mainly prefers environmentally friendly products and services (Frankfurt School-UNEP Centre/BNEF, 2020, p. 16). If companies diligently adopt more renewable energy and decarbonize their operations for joining RE100, their reputations will improve. As a result, customers, especially the young generation, will be attracted and purchase more products and services than gray ones. In the long run, companies can increase their sales and profits.

Since the end of the twentieth century, 3D printing technology has been developing in the long run with the increasing progress of computer science and materials science. As an agent of change in the manufacturing field, 3D printing technology can efficiently process and manufacture complex components, reducing research and development costs and production cycles, and profoundly affecting many industries such as mechanical engineering, medical devices, and industrial engineering. Among 3D printing technologies, fused deposition 3D printing is one of the most widely used molding processes in 3D printing (Luo et al. 2020).
