SMILE as a Knowledge Externalization Framework for Defense-Critical SME Manufacturing: A Design Science Research Approach

Presents SMILE (Sustainable Methodology for Interoperable Lifecycle Environments) as a design science artifact for systematically externalizing tacit manufacturing knowledge. Applies Peffers et al. DSR methodology, Actor-Network Theory translation analysis, Ward and Daniel benefits dependency networks, and five falsifiable propositions to evaluate SMILE against defense supply chain requirements.
