Abstract
The paper addresses the question, “Can dynamic, effective response plans be made for stakeholders of a manufacturing line dealing with unplanned events at a manufacturing line, irrespective of an individual’s unique subject matter expertise? Prior research in manufacturing-related environments has indicated the existence of a high frequency of unplanned events. When not responded to efficiently, they can result in reduced financial efficiency and employee overwhelm. Through collection and analysis of interviews conducted with stakeholders in the manufacturing environment, a possible means of efficiently addressing unplanned events can be found or synthesized to help stakeholders navigate uncertainty in the manufacturing environment with less overwhelm and greater confidence.
