14th Annual NSF Grantees Conference on Production Research and Technology; Ann Arbor, MI; October 6-9, 1987

这项提议是由密歇根大学作为第十四届生产研究和技术会议的东道主。这是由美国国家科学基金会生产研究计划（现为制造系统计划）主办的一系列年度会议之一。这些会议有几个目的。它们允许对项目支持的研究进行评估。他们帮助制定计划。他们将研究成果传播给研究界的其他研究者，以及工业界的潜在用户。它们还为想要进入该项目的研究人员提供机会，以了解该项目支持哪些研究。

This proposal is for the University of Michigan to act as host for the Fourteenth Conference on Production Research and Technology. This is one of a series of annual conferences which have been sponsored by the Production Research Program (now the Manufacturing Systems Program) of the National Science Foundation. The conferences serve several purposes. They permit assessment of the research supported by the program. They aid in program planning. They disseminate research results to other investigators in the research community, and to potential users in industry. They also provide opportunities for investigators who want to enter the program to find out what kind of research it supports.
