Flexible Robotic Assembly Modules for the Built Environment - FRAMBE

作为该项目的一部分，雷丁大学(UOR)开展的研究侧重于确定文化变革要求，以使灵活制造和FRAMBE成为建筑活动的一种可行的主流方法。它支持整个联合体进行的技术和流程开发活动。首先，它涉及评估联合体和供应链在实施灵活制造技术方面的准备情况，查明实施过程中可能存在的社会和文化障碍，并制定战略支持试点项目(WP2/目标1)。此后，统筹办将监测和评估试点项目，重点关注新出现的文化和工作惯例变革要求，如所需技能、期望的一致性以及做法和程序的整合(工作方案5/目标2)。在试点后，研究活动将转向提出新的业务模式和确定变革管理步骤，以使必要的文化变革和工作实践配置能够将这些新的工作方式纳入主流。这些可能包括技能和能力确定、培训和指导安排、激励和管理制度以及支持文化变革的领导方法(WP 6/目标3)。大学研究中心还将根据传播计划和影响途径，与建筑研究中心和项目联合体的其他成员一起，参与对项目更广泛成果的整体评估和向建筑部门、政策和学术受众传播。

The research undertaken by the University of Reading (UoR) as part of this project focusses on the identification of culturalchange requirements to enable flexible manufacturing and FRAMBE to become a viable, mainstream approach toconstruction activity. It supports the technical and process development activities undertaken across the consortium.Initially, it involves assessments of consortium and supply chain readiness in terms of implementing flexible manufacturetechniques, identification of potential social and cultural barriers to implementation and the development of strategies tosupport this for the pilot projects (WP2 / objective 1). Following this, UoR will monitor and evaluate the pilots, focussing onemerging cultural and working practice change requirements such as required skills, alignment of expectations andintegration of practices and process (WP 5 / objective 2). Post-pilot, the research activities will move to proposing newbusiness models and identifying change management steps to enable the necessary cultural change and work practicereconfiguration to mainstream these new ways of working. These may include skills and capability identification, trainingand mentoring arrangements, incentives and management systems, and leadership approaches to support cultural change(WP 6 / objective 3).UoR will also participate alongside BRE and the rest of the project consortium in the overall evaluation and disseminationof the project's broader outputs to construction sector, policy and academic audiences as per the dissemination plan andpathways to impact.
