Exploitation-oriented Manufacturing Technology Development ¬リニ

In consideration of the fact that production technologies are resources that can be exploited across various industrial sectors, their current and prospective technological properties are likely to face requirements from different target industries. Because these requirements can diverge extremely between industries, a methodology will be proposed that enables to assess the compatibility of diverging requirements. It aims at composing consistent, cross-industrial clusters of technological requirements that can potentially be met without significantly adapting the key features of the production technology at hand. These clusters are then mapped with the purpose of deriving an optimized technology development path that increases both long-term market security and overall exploitation potential. © 2014 The Authors.
