Third Industrial Revolution

The aim of this chapter is to understand the status quo of academic research on demand and supply management in terms of cause and mitigation strategies during the third industrial revolution and estimate the scope in the fourth industrial revolution. The chapter uses a systematic literature review approach to classify the past studies published in the International Journal of Production Research during the third industrial revolution based on cause and mitigation strategic framework. Similarly, the study estimates the scope in future by brainstorming academicians and practitioners using Q-methodology. This analysis reveals that dependence on technology will simplify tracking of transit inventory and real-time sharing transparency and continuous updating will simplify demand forecasting.

Third Industrial Revolution

The chapter engages with the idea that nonhuman creativity is fostering a new architecture based on continuous variation both in its theoretical and in its technical and material dimension. The chapter depicts the trajectory of ONL, the author’s practice, and how with this mission it has moved to the third industrial revolution that has altogether revolutionised architecture as a whole. In this chapter Kas Oosterhuis redefines the fundamentals in three phases; phase A: mass production, phase B: mass customisation - in which phase ONL’s built projects are positioned - and moving into the upbeat of phase C: distributed robotic design, production, assembly and operation, in which phase the achievements of Hyperbody’s interactive architecture are positioned. He concludes by challenging the traditional role of the architect that has shifted, nowadays, to that of an expert.
