Collaborative Research Study: Understanding Indian Enterprise Systems: Graduate Research Capability and Future Potential: A US-India Perspective

这项研究的重点是评估印度和美国学术机构在企业工程领域的科学合作潜力，特别是运筹学、运筹学和相关的制造设计研究。这项研究将评估印度机构培养有效的教师和研究生研究人才的潜力，这些人才用于企业系统的建模和分析，以及与美国机构的有效合作机制，以实现这一目标。它还将评估印度是否即将出现研究生教育和研究水平的人才短缺，以及这些趋势将如何影响美国的教育机构和企业。这项研究将集中在三个领域：(A)设计能力、模型和相关服务、协作和相关研究；(B)制造公司的供应链管理方法和相关研究；以及(C)用于了解企业网络风险的服务网络和模型。这三个重点领域补充了研究团队的研究议程，并结合在一起将提供对企业系统的这些方面的完整理解。这笔赠款将使人们能够从一组具有代表性的一流研究和学位授予印度机构那里收集和分析有关产出趋势的数据，包括资助和非资助的研究活动、合作活动等。根据研究小组的直接现场访谈，将对问题和潜力进行预测。随后，我们将集思广益，讨论美国和印度大学之间可能开展的具体合作项目。这一谅解将有助于评估印度和美国学术机构在企业工程领域的科学合作潜力，特别是运筹学、运筹学和相关的制造设计研究。作为一个更广泛的成果，该项目的结果将有助于确定可能的机制，以加强美国和印度大学合作伙伴之间的合作机会，以期提高整体研究生产率。

This research focuses on an assessment of the potential for scientific collaboration between Indian and the US academic institutions in the fields of enterprise engineering, specifically Operations Research, Operations management and related manufacturing design research. The study will evaluate the potential of Indian institutions to produce effective faculty and graduate research talent for modeling and analysis of enterprise systems and effective collaboration mechanisms with US institutions in order to achieve that goal. It will also assess whether there is an impending shortage of talent at the graduate education and research levels in India and how these trends will affect US educational institutions and businesses. The study will focus on three areas: (a) Design Capability, models and associated services, collaborations and related research, (b) Supply Chain Management approaches in manufacturing companies and associated research and (c) Service networks and models used to understand risk in enterprise networks. These three areas of focus complement research agendas of the study team and taken together will provide a complete understanding of these aspects of enterprise systems. The grant will enable collection and analysis of data on output trends, in funded and unfunded research activity, collaborative activity, etc., from a representative set of top-class research-and-degree granting Indian institutions. A projection of problems and potential will be made based on direct onsite interviews by a research team. This will be followed by a brainstorming of specific possible collaboration initiatives between US and Indian universities.This understanding will enable assessment of the potential for scientific collaboration between Indian and the US academic institutions in the fields of enterprise engineering, specifically Operations Research, Operations Management and related manufacturing design research. As a broader outcome, the findings from this project will help in identifying possible mechanisms for enhancing collaborative opportunities between US and Indian university partners with a view to enhance overall research productivity.
