Cranfield Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre

克兰菲尔德IMRC的愿景是通过制造技术和产品/服务系统之间的开发和互动来发展现有的世界级研究活动，这些系统推动英国制造业向价值链上游移动，以提供高附加值的制造业商机。这一研究愿景建立在克兰菲尔德现有优势和专业知识的基础上，并与其他IMRC的活动相辅相成。它代表了制造业研究技能和资源的独特组合，将满足英国未来制造业需求的关键方面。这项研究是多学科和跨部门的，旨在促进部门之间的知识转移。为了实现这一愿景，克兰菲尔德IMRC有两个相互依存的战略目标，这两个目标将同时实现：1.在精密工程和材料加工领域生产世界一流的工艺和产品技术。2.在基于服务的竞争战略的背景下创造和开发这些技术。

The Cranfield IMRC vision is to grow the existing world class research activity through the development and interaction between:Manufacturing Technologies and Product/Service Systems that move UK manufacturing up the value chain to provide high added value manufacturing business opportunities.This research vision builds on the existing strengths and expertise at Cranfield and is complementary to the activities at other IMRCs. It represents a unique combination of manufacturing research skills and resource that will address key aspects of the UK's future manufacturing needs. The research is multi-disciplinary and cross-sectoral and is designed to promote knowledge transfer between sectors. To realise this vision the Cranfield IMRC has two interdependent strategic aims which will be pursued simultaneously:1.To produce world/beating process and product technologies in the areas of precision engineering and materials processing.2.To enable the creation and exploitation of these technologies within the context of service/based competitive strategies.
