| description | Capable measurement of the size and shape of components is a prerequisite for precision
manufacturers. However, the design community may not fully consider measurement issues
that could arise when components are manufactured, and the manufacturing community may not
wholly appreciate the value that measurement data can bring to design. This paper
investigates measurement knowledge in this relationship to find out if there are specific
knowledge types that could be developed to improve the likelihood of fulfilling design
intent. A proven systems-based approach was applied to an illustrative case to develop a
model of knowledge flows and identify key knowledge types. For this case study, it was
found that knowledge about measurement is dispersed and managed through a variety of
practices which are relatively isolated from design. Furthermore, conflict was uncovered
between the knowledge types, reinforcing the view that a more inclusive and integrated
approach is required. In the course of the research, a novel methodology was developed in
which group modelling was used to generate questions, rather than the more typical
approach of grounding a systems model on interview data. |
