Chaordic Systems Thinking for Novelty in Contemporary Manufacturing

The paper describes a framework for novelty creation, based in complexity, and how it enables the management for novelty in manufacturing systems. The paperʹs central thesis is that complexity should not be eliminated but nurtured. The human role is focused on. The paper evaluates how the creation of novelty is recognized in existing MS approaches such as Collaborative Design, Complexity, Emergent Synthesis, and Networked Organizations. A complexity framework is proposed to develop a chaordic manufacturing system.
