- W2185174946 abstract "A number of visual language diagramming tools have been developed to describe part-whole hierarchies in parts manufacturing and building production. They serve users in manufacturing plant line balancing, modeling information flows, assisting in analyzing assembly sequence alternatives, managing construction operations and the like. These tools have become important at the same time that conventions of practice are losing power and as production processes become more complex and distributed among many parties. So far, available diagramming tools have not helped to identify control, or the actual manipulation of parts by agents. Because of this, we have not been able to study production chains, via abstract models, to see and understand the webs of influence and control in the relations of certain kinds of agents to parts and to each other, both of which characterize the ecology of production. The paper discusses a diagramming concept which begins to solve this problem. It is rooted in a basic premise of environmental design, that people and artifacts go together in the transformation and the study of the built environment. Simple demonstrations are given of the diagramming tool's use. Two control patterns are identified: dispersed and overlapping. A discussion is offered about how and why this matters to production and design reasoning. Suggestions are also offered about why control has been missing in production chain analysis tools up to now. It is suggested that technical rationality has spread its shroud over production activities, diverting us from inspecting their socio-technical character, and allowing us to see instead only a dehumanized activity." @default.
