Global Manufacturing Research: Experience Exchange Group (EEG) contributions
The intention of this paper is to clarify if and how an ExperienceExchange Group (EEG) can be involved in a research process in the areaof industrial management. For exemplification of the topic an ongoingresearch in global manufacturing is referred to. In this research itwas after a series of preliminary studies found interesting to set upan EEG composed of representatives from industry and a researcher.
Inthe paper some general research methods pertinent to the areaindustrial management is discussed. The EEG concept is introduced andcharacterised in comparison with the other methods. EEG activities aredescribed and a tentative coupling to the phases in a research processis proposed. Following this is a discussion of methodological andquality requirements.
It is considered how EEG activities couldpossible contribute to an industrial rooted research. The paper endsup looking at future research areas and research methods, includingapplication of the EEG approach.
