工程创新被认为是企业成功的关键。过渡到新的商业模式，包括设计和制造供应网络和贯穿生命周期的支持服务，如劳斯莱斯TotalCare®包，正在通过整个供应网络创造新的创新机会。工程和其他毕业生需要提高供应链意识和技能，以便在这些新兴的创新环境中有效运作。相比之下，大学工程课程中实际供应链问题的覆盖面往往有限。其原因包括：接触具有实际供应链经验的实业家的机会有限，与主要在商学院进行的研究的联系有限，研究重点是公司，而不是关注与工程师更相关的产品、服务和相关创新过程。本文介绍了一个务实的框架，旨在提高工程本科生的工程创新发生在全球供应网络中的认识，以及如何影响整体网络性能的个别组织的行为。
Engineering innovation is recognised as a key to business success. Transitions to new business models, including Design & Make supply networks and through-life support services such as the Rolls-Royce TotalCare® package are creating new kinds of innovation opportunities through entire supply networks. Engineering and other graduates need improved supply chain awareness and skills to operate effectively in these emerging innovation contexts. In contrast, the coverage of practical supply chain issues in universities’ engineering curricula tends to be limited. Reasons for this include limited access to industrialists with practical supply chain experience and limited linkage to research which is largely carried out in business schools, with a focus on the firm, rather than the focus on products, services and associated innovation processes that are more relevant to engineers. This paper introduces a pragmatic framework that has been designed to raise awareness in engineering undergraduates of where engineering innovation happens in global supply networks and how the behaviour of individual organisations impacts overall network performance.
