Machinists:One drastic shift in future workflows can be seen for machinists, specifically CNC operators.Through the incorporation of robots and/or cobots into most of the workflow stages, the role ofCNC operators, compared to current workflows, is dramatically reduced. In contrast, the roles oftraditional CNC programmers will be augmented through the incorporation of new technologiessuch as hybrid manufacturing, 5-axis machining, and robots which will require integration intocurrent processes and troubleshooting [21]. More downstream, machinists' workflows and jobdescriptions will be impacted by the IoT

Manyparticipants' first inclination is to increase revenue per vehicle without considering addedmanufacturing complexity from an expanded BOM or additional manufacturing steps. Thus, inthe second round of production, participants observe tradeoffs in requirements, cost, and valueand the effects of product complexity in difficult-to-manufacture designs. The conclusion ofround two allows a subtle discussion of revenue, cost, profits as well as integrated design andmanufacturing decisions made by each team. Extensions to a third round or beyond would allowteams to iteratively improve their product design and production process to maximize revenue.5.
