Discussion of AMP the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership William B. Bonvillian Director, MIT Wash. Office National Governors Association October 6, 2011 Our “Innovate here/Produce Here” Assumption? Since WWII - U.S. economy organized around leading the world in technology advance. US led innovation wave after innovation wave in the second half of the 20th century, from aviation to electronics, to nuclear power to computing to the internet to biotech Our operating assumption - we would innovate and we would translate those innovations into products So we would realize the economic gains from innovation – at every stage – from innovation to production to services It worked – we built the richest economy the world had ever seen. But with distributed manufacturing and lack of focus on productivity in production, there’s a problem 2 What’s at Stake: The Hourglass -- 3 <---- Resources, Suppliers, Components, Innovation <--- Production (11m jobs) <--- Distribution, Sales, Maintenance, Life Cycle What is AMP up to? Pres. announced 6/24 -- Partnership so far: Companies: Dow, Allegheny, Caterpillar, Corning, Ford, Honeywell, Intel, Johnson & Johnson, Northrup Grumman, Proctor and Gamble, Stryker, United Technologies Agencies: NEC, OSTP, NIST, DARPA, Mantech, DOE, NSF Universities: Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, Stanford, UC Berkely, Michigan, MIT 4 Pillars of AMP Efforts Overall, an Innovation Focus Technology development What are new manufacturing paradigms nanofabrication, advanced materials, robotics, energy efficiency, to give a few examples. Historically, shifts in manufacturing advantage have stemmed from introduction of combination of: Technology advances process advances new business and organizational models Structural Challenges barriers to commercialization and scaling Tools, Collaborations, Shared Facilities Skills and Education 5 6 Workstreams Built around pillars Technology strands – will need subgroups Overall policy – esp. for innovation process Education and workforce development Shared facilities - testbeds Outreach – short term – how to engage broader group of co’s, univ’s, industry associations, states, etc. Action plan not a study/report
