Collaborative Workshop: Research for Multidisciplinary Principles in Manufacturing, January 9-11, 2003, Birmingham, Alabama

该奖项支持将于2003年1月9日至11日在阿拉巴马州伯明翰举行的2003年国家科学基金会设计、服务和制造补助金和研究会议的研讨会。预计将有60名受邀参与者参加为期两天的研讨会，其中包括国际参与者。本次研讨会的目标是建立一种综合方法，捕捉环境友好型制造（EBM）的基本原理，指导超越寻找问题的特定解决方案，以创建一个研究议程，以实现将这些完全集成的概念结合起来的行为。本次研讨会将采用教育和多学科的方法来理解四个主题领域作为循证医学基础的属性和使用意识。这些领域是：1)产品性能，/技术；2)供应链动态；3)决策（组织动力学）和4)环境。这四个线程将由在每个领域具有专业知识的个人代表，然后他们将处理共同的产品主题，以创建此集成方法的框架。这次讲习班是实施无害环境制造世界技术评价中心（WTEC） 2001年发表的研究结果的一个重要步骤。

This award supports a workshop to be held in conjunction with the 2003 NSF Design, Service and Manufacturing Grantees and Research Conference in Birmingham, Alabama, January 9 - 11, 2003. It is expected that 60 invited participants will attend this 2 day workshop, including international participants. The objective of this workshop is to establish an integrated approach that captures the fundamentals of environmentally benign manufacturing (EBM), directed beyond finding particular solutions to problems, to the creation of a research agenda to achieve behavior that incorporates these fully integrated concepts. This workshop will take an educational and multidisciplinary approach to understanding attributes, and awareness of the use of, four topical areas as the basis of EBM. These areas are 1) product performance, / technology; 2) supply chain dynamics; 3) decision-making (with organizational dynamics) and 4) environment. These four threads are to be represented by individuals with expertise in each fields, who will then work on common product topics to create the framework for this integrated approach.This workshop is a major step in implementing the findings of the Environmentally Benign Manufacturing World Technologies Evaluation Center (WTEC) study published in 2001.
