Tools and artefacts adopted to translate knowledge

Phase	Activity	Participants	TOOL/artefact of knowledge translation
Phase 1 – Project planning	Creation of a comprehensive suite of project plans that set out the project roadmap and showed plans to manage time, cost, quality, change, risk and issues (necessary for public funding)	(1) Ministry of education, university and research (delegated official)	(1) Project template (submission form) and project charter
		(2) Two FCA managers (quality and operation managers)	(2) Flow diagram
		(3) Four management researchers (university of sannio)	(3) GANTT chart
		(4) A researcher from university of portsmouth	(4) Budgetary control
			(5) Work breakdown structure
			(6) Fishbone diagram
			(7) Call for proposals - Frequently Asked Questions
			(8) Formal and informal cross-boundary meetings
Phase 2 – Project launch	Monitoring, analysis and reporting of anomalies in the engine assembly process (i.e. prioritizing errors)	A team composed of four university researchers (university of Sannio) and four company managers	(1) Project management software (a cloud-based platform)
			(2) Visual formats: visual diagrams and a graphical schema presenting the anomalies
			(3) Mandatory reporting instructions
			(4) Face-to-face interaction between managers and researchers
Phase 3 – Building the new multi-criteria decision-making method	Creating and experimenting with research hypotheses: the application of multi-criteria decision analysis methods (and solving decision problem) into engine assembly process (e.g. building the portfolio of critical processes)	An “empowered” team of two FCA engineers, two researchers from the University of Sannio and another from the University of Portsmouth	(1) Visual collaborative environment (projector, screens, pictures, graphs, etc.)
			(2) Virtual management: visual diagram and visual design tools for the simultaneous communication between people located in the same physical space and/or different sites (Italy and UK)
			(3) Intermediate report
			(4) Face-to-face interaction and negotiations between managers and researchers
