OSSIAN'S SOCIAL NETWORKS HELP US UNDERSTAND THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD.

This work evolved from our project on narrative networks, specifically " A Networks-Science Investigation into Ossian's Epic Poems ". Some of the approaches we created for analysing mediaeval texts are now being employed in the manufacturing industry to improve and change processes, allowing for the construction of through-process tracking on materials, products and services [1-4].
Part of achieving corporate objectives is identifying key vital factors that must be controlled in order to meet or exceed annual targets, and through-process-tracking becomes an important component of this.
With our approach, we can facilitate a systematic data-driven approach ranging from identifying business goals, collecting and transforming data to building models. The goal is to gain a deeper understanding, make forecasts, or provide recommendations. By connecting processes and capturing process data, an aggregated 'Digital Passport' for each end product is created, making Statistical Quality Analysis more easier.
