Abstract
A manufacility (200) comprising a gallery (210), a concierge (220), a networking lounge (230), a training center (240), a media room (250), manucap administration (260), customer service (270), surrogate sectors (280), and job shop advocates (290). The manufacility (200) can facilitate methods for manufacturing articles, such as a method wherein a core-competency inventory is consulted to appoint job shops, a method wherein a raw idea is transformed into an article, and/or a method wherein an idea is converted from sketch to shelf and packaged in an innovation kit.
Claims20
A method (300) of manufacturing articles (20), comprising an order-receiving step (320), an inventory-consulting step (350), and a job-shop-appointing step (380);
- wherein:
- the order-receiving step (320) comprises receiving an order (301) to manufacture at least one component (18);
- the inventory-consulting step (350) comprising consulting an internal cataloged inventory (351) of current manufacturing capabilities with corresponding costs of a plurality of job shops;
- and
- the job-shop-appointing step (380) comprising appointing, based on the inventory-consulting step (350), the most capable and cost-competitive job shop(s) to manufacture the components (18);
- wherein the job shop(s) manufacture the components (18) and thereby contribute to the manufacture of the articles (20).
A method (400) for manufacturing an article (20), said method comprising a quote-request-accepting step (430), a quote-issuing step (440), a contracting step (450), and a transformation step (480);
- wherein:
- the request-accepting step (430) comprises accepting a request from a client to transform a raw idea (10) into the article (20);

- the contracting step (450) comprises contracting with the client to buy the article (20) at the set price;
- and
- the transformation step (480) comprises executing the formulated strategy to manufacture the article (20).
A method (500) for manufacturing articles (20), comprising an idea-obtaining step (520), an idea-vetting step (530), a kit-compiling step (540) and an offering step (550);
- wherein:
- the idea-obtaining step (520) comprises obtaining ideas (10) from inventive entities;
- the idea-vetting step (530) comprises vetting each idea (10) to determine its manufacturability and marketability;
- the kit-compiling step (540) comprises compiling a packaged innovation kit (501) for a favorably vetted idea;
- and
- the offering step (550) comprises offering the packaged innovation kit (501) for sale whereby it may be purchased, a startup business launched and the articles (20) manufactured.
