An extended approach to impact assessment in a Horizon2020 digital manufacturing project
An extended approach to impact assessment in a Horizon2020 digital manufacturing project
This paper presents an extended approach to impact assessment (IA) within European Union funded large-scale projects within the manufacturing domain, which may offer value to other research projects and SME organisations seeking to develop detailed organizational reporting, as well as provides an overview of the impact data returned and assessment results. As applied during the European Connected Factory Platform for Agile Manufacturing (EFPF) project (part of the EU Horizon2020 digital manufacturing grant), this paper will detail the processes undertaken as part of this extended approach, demonstrating how project Outcome Indictors and impact assessment criterion can be aligned through an extensive review and integration of existing impact domains, objectives, measures and evidence sources with project documentation to provide a comprehensive IA/KRI framework. It will also report on the results of the process, before concluding by detailing how organisational research may best utilise the approach, and discussing the wider implications for Industry4.0.

Abstract
This paper presents an extended approach to impact assessment (IA) within European Union funded large-scale projects within the manufacturing domain, which may offer value to other research projects and SME organisations seeking to develop detailed organizational reporting, as well as provides an overview of the impact data returned and assessment results. As applied during the European Connected Factory Platform for Agile Manufacturing (EFPF) project (part of the EU Horizon2020 digital manufacturing grant), this paper will detail the processes undertaken as part of this extended approach, demonstrating how project Outcome Indictors and impact assessment criterion can be aligned through an extensive review and integration of existing impact domains, objectives, measures and evidence sources with project documentation to provide a comprehensive IA/KRI framework. It will also report on the results of the process, before concluding by detailing how organisational research may best utilise the approach, and discussing the wider implications for Industry4.0.
