Next Generation Manufacturing Next Generation Manufacturing NSF-1997 Next Generation Manufacturing NSF-1997 –“manufacturing companies must transform themselves into agile enterprises that operate in extended supply chains” Visionary Manufacturing Challenges for National Research Council Visionary Manufacturing Challenges for National Research Council –“knowledge sharing, innovative technologies and attention to environmental issues” Sustaining the Nation’s Innovation Ecosystems -President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology-Jan 2004 Sustaining the Nation’s Innovation Ecosystems -President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology-Jan 2004 –“R&D and Manufacturing constitute the ecosystem’s primary pillars”

“a Basis for Knowledge Led economic growth” “the processes and entities required to create, develop, support and deliver products” “the processes and entities required to create, develop, support and deliver products” “Visionary Manufacturing Challenges for 2020”- National Research Council, 1998 Manufacturing is Manufacturing is –A global enterprise –A focus for innovation -the intersection of new processes / technologies and enterprises –Integral to the design/product realization process –A path to value creation for new technologies-(nano / bio / IT) –Key to national defense initiatives Is not Is not –Defined by existent, local capabilities –Just “make to print” –Just to “save jobs”

Laser Based Machining for Aerospace and Medical (CCAT Laser Applications Lab)

Lockheed Martin Lockheed Martin JSF Program Focuses on Maintainability with DELMIA Solutions “The timing, flexibility and affordability of simulations gave us a significant amount of influence over the air-system design. The designers are willing, and even eager, to address these concerns while their work is still in its preliminary stages… DELMIA's most important contribution is to make maintainability assessable in the beginning of a design effort, where the payoff is significantly better.” Michael T. Golas, Manager, Lockheed Martin Maintainer–In–Loop Program

Modeling and Simulation of Machining (predict, optimize and improve operations)

Careers via Next Generation Manufacturing Basis for success in NGM is foundational for multiple career paths Basis for success in NGM is foundational for multiple career paths –Personal effectiveness –Familiarity with various technologies –Continuous learning and “degree” options Early opportunities for financial reward Early opportunities for financial reward Opportunities to create your own enterprise Opportunities to create your own enterprise Note: Increases in productivity will reduce number of “hands on” jobs and emphasize knowledge
