Digital Machines, Space, and Time: Towards a Behavioral Perspective of Flexible Manufacturing Paolo Aversa, Marco Formentini, Daniela Iubatti and Gianni Lorenzoni kHUB post date: March 12, 2021 Originally published: June 3, 2020 (PDMA JPIM • Vol 38, Issue 1 • January 2021) Read time: 45 minutes Access the Full Article Recently, the diffusion of digital machines has further enhanced firms’ manufacturing flexibility, but also opened questions on potential challenges and implications in the production process. To respond to these timely issues, this study adopts a behavioral perspective and comparatively explores how four different types of digital machines—characterized by increasing degrees of manufacturing flexibility—affect the perception and use of space and time for routines within the production plant
As the team engage in the ideation stage, its members formulate “How might we” questions (actionable prompts) intended to generate and merge ideas as they populate the solution space (see Figure 1). Figure 1: Creating the solution space with SCAMPER. By applying “How might we…?” inquiries to the verb actions from SCAMPER, the NPD team define and combine ideas to build the solution space. Source: The author The SCAMPER is a lateral thinking method that helps you generate ideas to improve existing products and services by asking questions around several areas of inquiry
