Global Manufacturing in the 21st Century; ORSA/TIMS Conference; Detroit, MI; October 23-26, 1994

为了在21世纪的头几十年脱颖而出，制造商必须具有涵盖全球的设计，营销和分销的战略和运营愿景。为了实现这一愿景，制造商还必须有效地利用金融、人力资源管理、信息系统和电信等领域的服务系统来支持其全球企业。运筹学和管理科学（OR/MS）是现代管理者用来解决复杂战略、战术和运营问题的一些工具。该项目旨在提高OR/MS技术在提高美国制造商及其供应商的全球竞争力方面的知名度和作用。1994年秋季ORSA/TIMS会议的主题是21世纪的全球制造业。为了确保会议与实际问题的相关性，计划做出重大努力，以增加制造业和相关企业的OR/MS从业者和管理人员对会议的参与。这将包括：1)扩大营销工作，2)为很少或没有or /MS背景的制造经理提供特别计划，3)为非ORSA或TIMS成员的有限数量的制造经理演讲提供免费注册。所有这些努力都应提高会议对美国经济的制造业和相关服务支持部门的实际价值。

9322658 Chelst To excel in the first decades of the 21st century, manufacturers must have a strategic and operational vision of design, marketing, and distribution that encompasses the world. To implement this vision, a manufacturer must also effectively utilize service systems in areas such as finance, human resource management, information systems, and telecommunications to support its global enterprise. Operations research and management science (OR/MS) are some of the tools modern managers use to address complex strategic, tactical and operational concerns. This project is designed to increase the visibility and role of OR/MS techniques in improving the global competitiveness of United States manufacturers and their suppliers. The theme of the Fall 1994 ORSA/TIMS conference is Global Manufacturing in the 21st Century. To insure the relevance of the conference to practical problems, a major effort is planned to increase the participation in the conference of OR/MS practitioners and managers of manufacturing and related enterprises. This will include: 1) an expanded marketing effort, 2) a special program for manufacturing managers with little or no OR/MS background and 3) complimentary registrations for a limited number of manufacturing manager speakers who are not members of ORSA or TIMS. All of these efforts should enhance the practical value of the conference to the manufacturing and related service support sectors of the United States economy.
