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、运营管理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，以便对企业系统进行建模和分析，并与美国机构建立有效的合作机制，以实现这一目标。它还将评估印度研究生教育和研究水平的人才是否即将短缺，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方面：(a)设计能力、模型和相关服务、合作和相关研究；(b)制造公司的供应链管理方法和相关研究；(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这些方面的完整理解。这笔赠款将用于收集和分析来自具有代表性的顶级研究和学位授予机构的产出趋势数据，包括资助和未资助的研究活动、合作活动等。研究小组将通过直接的现场访谈对问题和潜力进行预测。随后将对美国和印度大学之间具体可能的合作计划进行头脑风暴。这种理解将有助于评估印度和美国学术机构在企业工程领域，特别是运筹学、运营管理和相关制造设计研究领域的科学合作潜力。作为一个更广泛的结果，这个项目的发现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，以期提高整体的研究生产力。

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.
