Hi Sid,
I find your research area of particular interest since I am currently supporting product development initiatives on the new 787 derivative program at Boeing (Wings Structure Manufacturing Engineering). So you mention in your video that you plan on using a “model for how these benefits of standardization and diversity play off…..”. Exactly what kind of model are you looking at and what specific tools & techniques are you thinking of applying? so the model can then be utilized by mgrs of these companies as a “decision tool”
