Holistic Problem of Manufacturing

There is yet a central point of access to all the world's manufacturing diversity.

Parts of the Holistic Problem

           Information Technology  

            Design | Materials Science | Information Science  

• What seems the problem?
• What is the base cause?
• What happened to cause it? 
• If action to address the problem is determined the best approach; the balance between the 'meticulous' and the 'creative' begins; to surface a more preferred outcome based on existing knowledge of the past. 
• The model is never complete and subject to scrutiny. That which does not change, is dead. Over-adaptation shares this same fate. Adequate survives. 
• What product or outcome is required?
• Why is something required in the first place?
• How are novel or specialized processes standardized, modularized, and integrated or rendered cyclical or cradle-to-cradle for simplicity? Or, in other words:

• How are the fundamentals of manufacturing processes better understood simply as functions, steps, or ingredients, so uncertainty or novelty when encountered becomes an acceptable challenge rather than a protective deterrent?
• What design is assembled?
• What is the best way to represent the design for people and machines? (images, words, Braille, python, FLOWS, ect)

• What tools applying materials are used?
• How are the most basic tools made to make more specialized tools and vice versa? 
• What materials apply to product or tool?
• How are tools made with what materials?
• What are the materials needed for the design? (or) 
• What alternative materials when optimal materials are unavailable?
• How are materials made from more basic materials?
• Where are the materials? 
• How are materials made easy to log and warehouse or locate by anyone?
• How is it observed at the location to ensure viability? 

• Who or what will assemble it?
• How is it delivered? 
• How are materials or use of land or other spacial boundaries accessed or occupied without personal or global compromise?
• Who owns, controls, or governs resource distribution?
• What causes exchange trade? How is money made? Where is it going? And: If the points above are adequately addressed: Why money? 
• How does ownership, control, or governance, and distribution change as a result of post-scarcity: when automated or commons-based output exceeds demand? 
• How are processes maintained or optimized?
• What are the anticipated outcomes based on addressing each problem?
