Research Directions for Production and Service Systems Workshop; Airley, VA, May 8-11, 1988

振兴经济仍然是一个国家关切的问题，正在调拨大量联邦和州资源来处理这一问题。虽然针对这一努力的大部分研究都是在技术开发方面进行的，但对实施技术的方法和技术有很大的需求。生产和服务系统操作都是如此。拟议的讲习班是为了呼吁工业工程界制定一项研究议程，以满足该领域未来的需要。参与者是知名的、受人尊敬的专业人员，他们应该具有研究经验和洞察力，以制定必要的调查途径，以配合社会需求和工业工程专业的智力核心发展。该研讨会将与DMCE的计算机集成工程计划联合资助。强烈推荐获奖。

Economic revitalization continues to be a national concern and considerable federal and state resources are being channeled to deal with this issue. While much of the research aimed at this effort is in technology development, there is a significant need for methods and techniques for implementing technology. This is true for both production and service system operations. The proposed workshop is an attempt to call upon the industrial engineering community to develop a research agenda for future needs in the field. The participants are well known and highly respected professionals that should have the research experience and insight to formulate the necessary avenues of investigation that will parallel the societal needs and the intellectual core development for the industrial engineering profession as well. The workshop is to be joint funded with the Computer Integrated Engineering Program in DMCE. An award is highly recommended.
