U.S. Manufacturing Strategy &
Policy
U.S. Manufacturing sector valued at
about $1.6 Trillion. Represents 60% of
U.S. exports.
 Accounts for 70% of private sector
research and development.
 However, losing ground in the face of
global competition.
 Trade gap has widened to nearly $100
billion.

President’s Council of Advisors
on Science & Technology
(PCAST)



Issued report on Advanced Manufacturing
and reminded us why manufacturing
remains an essential driver of our
economy.
Government should play an important role
through the development of an innovation
policy.
Support sustained investments in basic
research to promote scientific discoveries,
but also co-invest in precompetitive
applied research.
(PCAST)


Report also looked at areas such as tax,
trade, workforce, small business, and
education policies and how each either
helped or hindered the manufacturing
sector.
Given PCAST’s recommendations, the
President has made revitalization of
manufacturing a key part of his economic
strategy.
Structural Cost of Manufacturing

U.S. Manufacturers face a
20% cost burden over
competitors from our
largest trading partners.

U.S. Manufacturing Strategy and
Policy


President has established the Office of
Manufacturing Policy to coordinate the
federal government’s manufacturing
programs. Office co-chaired by Secretary of
Commerce and Director of the National
Economic Council.
President’s FY 2013 budget $2.2 billion for
federal advanced manufacturing R&D. (19%
increase over 2012)
“An economy built to last demands that we keep
doing everything we can to….keep strengthening
manufacturing.”
Manufacturing Innovation
Additive Manufacturing
A production technique using 3D laser
printing and advanced materials to “print
out” physical products
 While not new (20 years in the making),
could be poised to be the next real
game-changer for the manufacturing
industry.
 I understand that Airbus is even talking
about printing out most of an airplane
someday.

Crowdsourcing
The act of outsourcing tasks,
traditionally performed by an employee
or contractor, to a large group of people
or community, through an open call.
 Expect small to medium sized
companies to apply this technique
(using the web) to solve tough
manufacturing problems
 Motivation…access wider array of
talent, generate better results, etc.

Service Oriented Manufacturing



Vision where everything in the product life
cycle is information driven and is
encapsulated in modular “services”.
Concept could enable a new class of
businesses---brokers who have service
agreements to rent excess capacity in
manufacturing plants.
Rockwell Automation is looking at cloud/SOA
as the means for controlling factory
operations and extending into the supply
chain.
IMS Program
IMS Background




Industry-led, global, collaborative research and development
program providing the framework for conducting international
manufacturing research
Japanese initiative proposed in 1989 with a vision of global
industrial cooperation and technology sharing
Feasibility study conducted in 1992 – 1994; formal program began
in 1995 with seven participating Regions
Structure consists of:
–
–
–
–



International Steering Committee (ISC) led by a Chairman
Inter-Regional Secretariat (IRS)
Head of Delegation for each Region
Regional Secretariat in each Region
ISC Chairmanship and IRS rotates every two years (currently
headed by the European Union)
World Manufacturing Forums on the future of advanced
manufacturing held periodically
Intellectual Property (IP) protected
Why IMS?




(Rationale)
Recent advances in electronic networks make global-level
collaboration feasible and cost effective
Environmental aspects of manufacturing and consumption
cannot be tackled on merely a local or national level
Effective use of knowledge as a foundation for addressing
world-wide problems requires access to all available knowledge
sources
Manufacturing is no longer a national or regional concern.
Consumers are demanding a free flow of products and services
which requires a global scope
While many countries have negotiated bi-lateral agreements
to conduct cooperative research, the IMS charter takes
this one step further -- facilitating global solutions to
manufacturing challenges on a multi-lateral basis.
What is the IMS Vision?







Enlarge and open world-wide markets
Improve the utilization efficiency of resources (sustainable)
Significantly enhance the quality of life in the world community
through new product creation
Enable greater standardization and sophistication in manufacturing
operations
Improve the quality of the manufacturing environment and the global
environment
Disseminate results of IMS projects and transfer knowledge
Advance manufacturing professionalism
Who are the Member Regions?
European Union
And Norway
United States
of America
Korea
Mexico
Switzerland
The IMS Strategy

What are the five Manufacturing Technology
Platforms (MTPs)?
Sustainability
Energy Efficiency
Key Technologies
Standards
Education
The IMS Strategy

What are the Requirements for an MTP
initiative?
– Three or more participating Regions sign a
Memorandum of Agreement
– Minimum resource / funding level of $1M
– Funding for meetings/workshops provided by each
partner or participating IMS Region
– Minimum duration of 12 months
– Partners will meet a minimum of two times per year
» May meet in conjunction with the ISC meetings
Conclusion
The IMS strategy provides a strong framework
for global cooperative research, facilitates
quick consortium formation and networking
on a global basis, and stimulates the broad
dissemination of information from these
initiatives.
Through collaboration in the IMS program, we
will strengthen U.S. manufacturing and
enhance the quality of life of the world
community.

The Skills Gap in Manufacturing

82% of manufacturers report a moderate or
serious skills gap in skilled production.

74% of manufacturers report that this skills
gap has negatively impacted their company’s
ability to expand operations.

69% of manufacturers expect the skills
shortage in skilled production to worsen in the
next 3-5 years.

5% of all jobs in manufacturing unfilled due to
lack of qualified workers.

The IMS Strategy
1. Sustainability
Sustainable manufacturing is a platform for development of innovative manufacturing
technologies which address world wide resources shortages and excess
environmental load to enable an environmentally benign life cycle.
2. Energy Efficiency
Energy Efficient manufacturing is a platform for improving efficiency and reducing the
carbon footprint in energy utilization for manufacturing and operational processes.
The energy efficiency platform will result in reduced manufacturing costs and global
warming impact.
3. Key Technologies
Key Technologies is a platform that includes those technologies that will yield a high
impact on the next generation of manufacturing. These technologies include Model
Based Enterprise, nanotechnology, and Smart materials.
The IMS Strategy
4. Standards
Standards is a platform that will focus on manufacturing research issues that
can benefit from standardization to create open manufacturing and product
standards that are accessible to everyone and enhance innovation globally. IMS
involvement in standards would also focus on key areas where the lack of
standards is impeding progress in any of the other MTP areas.
5. Education
Education is a platform for educational programs designed for an information
based knowledge worker environment that supports manufacturing in the future.
Research listed under this platform will contribute to the development of a
coherent vision of manufacturing education across the whole vocational and
professional community.
The IMS Strategy
Focus on Manufacturing Technology
Platforms (MTPs)

What are MTPs?
Knowledge sharing platforms meant to facilitate the exchange
of information and generate new ideas and research goals

What is unique about MTPs versus traditional IMS projects?
Ongoing or new start Regional initiatives can be integrated
within an MTP and “kicked off” under a simple Memorandum
of Agreement
