A Planning Conference on Manufacturing Research: An International Perspective - Stuttgart, Germany - August 22-23, 1985

为制造业研究：国际视角规划会议提供支持，以确定美国和西欧在制造业研究方面将联合开展的合作努力。有待确定的努力包括合作开发制造所需的研究基地；提高对先进自动化经济学的理解；以及在教育和培训计划方面。为这一领域的合作提供支持的主要原因是：美国工业采用制造技术是当前国家关注的问题；制造研究是确保美国保持在工程研究前沿的目标的核心；在许多制造研究领域，西欧机构处于“领先”地位，可以为美国的努力做出重大贡献。

Support is provided for a planning conference on Manufacturing Research: An International Perspective, to identify cooperative efforts in manufacturing research to be undertaken jointly between the U.S. and Western Europe. Efforts to be identified include cooperation in developing the research-base required for manufacturing; in improving understanding of the economics of advanced automation; and in education and training programs. Major reasons that support is provided for cooperation in this area are: adoption of manufacturing technologies by U.S. industry is a matter of current national concern; manufacturing research is central to the goal to insure that the U.S. stays at the leading edge of engineering research; and in many areas of manufacturing research, Western European institutions are "ahead" and can contribute significantly to the U.S. efforts.
