dc.description.abstract | Directs attention to additive manufacturing in a supply
chain context. Analysis questions the degree it currently is a
disruptive innovation. A case study consisting of interviews
with 15 companies, including observations of some of these
companies, providing a varied set of subcases. The research
describes individual companies’ histories of using 3D printing
tools, its current use and future prospects, as perceived by
various informants. In the supply chain, additive
manufacturing moves production closer to the product user,
albeit currently on a small scale. Some firms are already
specializing in providing additive manufacturing as a service.
Networking and sourcing emerge as increasingly important
issues to govern the development and use of additive
manufacturing technology in the value chain of each studied
company. Findings reveal how additive manufacturing at
current is in its infancy and has limited impact on the
networked production structure: it has not yet reached the
stage of being a disruptive innovation. Investigation also reveals
perceptions on how additive manufacturing in the near future
may change the logistics flow structure in global supply chains,
then becoming a disruptive innovation. | en_US |
