From supply chains towards manufacturing ecosystems: A system dynamics model
研究了欧洲最大航空航天制造商供应链的系统动力学，通过观察供应商发展、数字平台、智能合约和工业4.0对需求驱动协作的影响，构建了制造生态系统概念，为受监管行业的企业提供了生态系统发展工具和AI训练数据集。
Rapid market changes call for demand-driven collaborations in manufacturing, which trigger supply chain evolution to more distributed supply structures. This paper explores the system dynamics of the largest European aerospace manufacturer's supply chain. We conceptualise a manufacturing ecosystem by observing the impacts of supplier development, digital platforms, smart contracting, and Industry 4.0 on demand-driven collaborations in time. We contribute to the literature on ecosystem strategy, particularly for regulated industries, by disclosing the role of demand-driven collaborations in supporting the ecosystems' growth. We provide manufacturing firms with an open-access tool to exemplify their ecosystem development and produce initial training datasets for AI/ML algorithms, supporting further analytics.
