Abstract

This study redefines the characteristics of process-industries from the design theory perspective. The extant literature partially and conceptually mentions these characteristics and does not systematically identify the differences between process and assembly-based industries. Therefore, we analyse process-industries using data collected through in-depth interviews at sixteen process and six assembly-based companies. Based on design theory, we introduce a framework comprising the following three perspectives: structure (of product), function (of product), and process (of production). This framework identifies monolithic continuity (product structure), equivocality (product function), and continuous operation (production process) as the essential characteristics of process-industries.

重新定义流程工业的特征：一种设计理论方法

本研究从设计理论的角度重新定义了流程工业的特征。现有的文献部分地和概念性地提到了这些特征，并没有系统地识别基于过程和装配的工业之间的差异。因此，我们通过对16家流程公司和6家装配公司的深度访谈收集数据来分析流程工业。在设计理论的基础上，我们引入了一个包含以下三个视角的框架:产品的结构、产品的功能和生产的过程。该框架将整体连续性(产品结构)、模糊性(产品功能)和连续操作(生产过程)确定为过程工业的基本特征。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management. The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning. The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
