Towards a Disciplinary Framework for Engineering and Manufacture

This paper presents the need to create a disciplinary conceptual framework. As participants and interactions of expertise in project rise so too can costs, meaning if is transdisciplinary, being at higher levels disciplinarity could become an expensive option. However, approaches for measuring remain ill-defined lack structure, progress this area difficult measure with multiplicity scales identified. It our view guide rigorous scientific meaningful industry support, definitive framework, required underpin appropriate measures. currently lacking end here, we outline interrelated studies develop detailing two establish core transdisciplinary concepts engineering manufacturing. We conclude ongoing work aspects industry, leading creation indexing tool/process.
