Cross-Functional Trades
The essence is multi-discipline optimization
applied to large grain (specifically Life Cycle Cost disciplines) problems.
These trades will be general across organizations at a high level, but will be
organization specific at a lower level as with factory floor operations, etc.
This has big technology transfer impacts. Many people had a hard time dealing
with the specific labels of the underpinnings, however, they were adamant
that it described what was really needed (e.g. requirement). Figure 3-1
in the final report of the user's workshop (presented here as Figure 3-1)
provides the context of this issue.
If any of your work is relevant to this area, then this is
an invitation to send us, virtual@frabjous.cs.umd.edu , information about it, for possible inclusion on the Web site and in the report.
