9510521 Ntuen This internship project is focused on graduate students apprenticeship in industry to improve graduate students skills in analyzing problems, formulate solution methodology, and identifying critical research problems which if solved can reengineer a company's processes. This projects builds on an existing program with the sponsor company. The existing relationship is an undergraduate apprenticeship program which the PI institution has with the company. This project will make it possible to expand the apprenticeship program to graduate students. Under the graduate apprenticeship, students will conduct research on specific topics jointly determined by the PI and the industrial partner to foster innovation and creative approaches to the implementation of the company's production goals. The program will expose the graduate students to the philosophies of management, research, product development, operations, manufacturing, and marketing. Specific aspects of the apprenticeship experience will involve the students to (1) work with company engineers to analyze the current operating and manufacturing strategies and identify major areas for re-engineering initiative, (2) develop guidelines for re-engineering processes, operations, maintenance, distribution, and logistics, and (3) develop a domain specific in-house simulation model for real time performance analysis of the company's operations at various phases of manufacturing. A core element of the project is the creation of an environment in an actually industrial setting where graduate students can be challenged with real manufacturing problems. This experience can be used by the students to enhance their graduate school experiences. This experience can translate to the generation of industry motivated graduate theses research. On the other hand, the industrial partner will benefit from the fresh insights of students whose main objectives are to enhance their problem solving skills and experiences in a real industrial setting. F urthermore, the algorithms developed as part of the collaboration can prove very valuable to the industrial partner.

9510521 Ntuen这个实习项目的重点是研究生在行业中的学徒生涯，以提高研究生分析问题、制定解决方法和识别关键研究问题的技能，如果这些问题得到解决，可以重新设计公司的流程。该项目建立在与赞助商公司现有计划的基础上。现有的关系是PI机构与公司之间的本科生学徒计划。该项目将使学徒计划扩展到研究生成为可能。在研究生学徒制下，学生将就PI和行业合作伙伴共同确定的特定主题进行研究，以促进创新和创造性方法来实现公司的生产目标。该计划将使研究生接触到管理、研究、产品开发、运营、制造和营销的哲学。学徒经历的具体方面将包括：(1)与公司工程师合作分析当前的运营和制造战略，并确定重新设计计划的主要领域；(2)制定流程、运营、维护、分销和物流重新设计的指导方针；以及(3)开发特定领域的内部模拟模型，用于对公司在制造的各个阶段的运营进行实时绩效分析。该项目的一个核心要素是在一个实际的工业环境中创造一个环境，在那里研究生可以挑战真实的制造问题。这一经历可以被学生用来增强他们的研究生经历。这一经验可以转化为行业动机的研究生论文研究的产生。另一方面，工业伙伴将受益于学生的新见解，这些学生的主要目标是提高他们在真实工业环境中解决问题的技能和经验。此外，作为合作的一部分开发的算法可以证明对工业合作伙伴非常有价值。
