Boosting Supply Chain Innovation through Additive Manufacturing: A Transdisciplinary Experience

Abstract

This student project gathers together a diversity of experience and study in the development of this paper draws together a variety of transdisciplinary fields on Just in Time (JIT) supply chain integration with additive manufacturing (AM). The impact of AM on JIT supply chain has been investigated in food, steel, bio, and vehicle industries. Students shared knowledge is presented and discussed. Collective Intelligence Management Workshops (CIMW) on the research topics of five research teams (total 20 students) have been organized. Students learned how to implement transdisciplinary research process and learned knowledge generation & integration.
