Moving from R&D to Manufacture

Transcription

1 Moving from R&D to Manufacture NSF I/UCRC Annual Meeting January 9, 2014 Clara Asmail Senior Technical Advisor NIST MEP

2 Agenda Overview of NIST MEP program Technology Acceleration and MEP s role Sampling of MEP services Lean Product Design and Development Design for Manufacture and Assembly Tech Driven Market Intelligence

3 Technology Acceleration Ecosystem Interventions supporting movement of technologies for new products, processes toward market and supply chain needs

4 About MEP Provide manufacturers with innovation services as well as access to public and private resources that enhance growth, improve productivity, and expand capacity. Nationwide Connect and Deliver network operating as a public-private partnership 60 MEP Centers with 373 field locations System wide, over 1,300 Non-Federal staff Contracting with over 2,300 third party service providers

5 MEP Strategies Increasing manufacturers competitiveness, profitability is MEP s overarching strategy. Provide framework that capitalizes on cost-reduction strategies historically MEP s core services to enhance productivity, free up capacity for business growth. Business growth is focused on development of new sales, new markets, and/or new products with manufacturers.

6 MEP Centers Across the U.S. 800.MEP.4MFG

7 What MEP Does MEP Center areas of innovation strength Manufacturing Services for products/processes Growth Services new and expanded market opportunities Market Diversification Environmental Sustainability Workforce Development Lean Manufacturing & Quality Systems Reach nearly 34,000 manufacturing firms and complete over 10,000 projects per year* *Based on FY2011 MEP Center reported performance data.

14 Basics for Technology Transition Productization: Converting the technology into product that will sell. Right features Manufacturable Right price/cost On time to market Productization assistance from MEP centers includes Requirements definition and prioritization Product concept definition Product concept validation Guidance on design for manufacturability, cost, quality Guidance on processes to manufacture Development of a plan to productize the technology including guidance on project management and risk management.

16 Developing Manufacturing Processes Design for: manufacturability, assembly, cost, standardization, logistics Voice of customer Lean Product Development Scale up Vertical Integration supply chain development Quality Management Systems -- cgmp, AS9100 etc Supplier management

17 Lean Product Design and Development Reduce time to market Improve resource utilization Reduce new product development risk While Cutting waste Reducing product costs Product development expense Data show a 50% reduction in: launch schedule dramatic improvements in gross margin enhanced customer satisfaction

18 Design for Manufacture and Assembly # parts Parts: modular, standard, multi-use, multi-function Fastener selection Streamline assembly Tolerance optimization
