Planning Grant for an I/UCRC in Assembly Research 0832417 University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (lead institution); Kazuhiro Saitou 0832433 Michigan Technological University; John Sutherland The University of Michigan and Michigan Technological University propose a planning grant for a collaborative center "Industry/University Collaborative Research Center (I/UCRC) on Assembly Research" to maximize the global competitiveness of the US manufacturing industry through innovations in assembly design and manufacturing. The proposed center aims to conduct needs-driven, collaborative research projects within and across four research thrust areas: assembly design, assembly systems, supply chain management, and disassembly. Compared to fragmented attempts to tackle a focused research issue in isolation with others, this holistic approach is likely to yield strong synergy across the research thrusts and among industry partners representing various industry segments. The knowledge generated in the proposed center would also be applicable to non-manufacturing industry, such as service industry, where products are "assembled" of multiple commoditized and custom-made components. The broader impacts of this proposal would be to improve the competitiveness in the global manufacturing environment and to educate and train students who would be the future work force in the US manufacturing industry. The proposed center plans to disseminate research results to the general public through professional education courses and workshops and at the College of Engineering open house. Local high school and community college teachers will be encouraged to participate in the workshops, and the center will actively recruit students from the under-represented groups.

密歇根大学，安阿伯（牵头机构）;齐藤和弘0832433密歇根理工大学;约翰·萨瑟兰 密歇根大学和密歇根理工大学提议为合作中心“工业/大学组装研究合作研究中心（I/UCRC）”提供规划拨款，以通过组装设计和制造的创新最大限度地提高美国制造业的全球竞争力。该中心的目标是在四个研究重点领域内进行需求驱动的合作研究项目：装配设计，装配系统，供应链管理和拆卸。 与孤立地解决一个重点研究问题的零散尝试相比，这种整体方法可能会在研究重点和代表不同行业的行业合作伙伴之间产生强大的协同作用。 在拟议的中心产生的知识也将适用于非制造业，如服务业，其中产品是“组装”的多个商品化和定制的组件。 这一提议的更广泛影响将是提高在全球制造业环境中的竞争力，并教育和培训将成为美国制造业未来劳动力的学生。 拟议中的中心计划通过专业教育课程和讲习班以及工程学院的开放日向公众传播研究成果。 将鼓励当地高中和社区大学教师参加讲习班，该中心将积极从代表性不足的群体中招收学生。
