Description

Title: Visionary Manufacturing Challenges for 2020
Description:
By Committee on Visionary Manufacturing Challenges, Commission on Engineering and Technical Systems,

National Research Council
Pages: 156

Manufacturing will unquestionably be a very different enterprise in 2020 from what it is today. This

book presents an exciting picture of the profitable and productive potential of manufacturing two

decades hence.
This book takes an international view of future manufacturing that considers the leaps and bounds of

technological innovation and the blurring of the lines between the manufacturing and service

industries. The authors identify ten strategic technology areas as the most important for research and

development and they recommend ways to address crosscutting questions. Representing a variety of

industries, the authors identify six "grand challenges" that must be overcome for their vision to be

realized, including the human/technology interface, environmental concerns, and miniaturization.
A host of issues are discussed that will push and pull at manufacturing over the next 20 years: the

changing workforce, the changing consumer, the rise of bio- and nanotechnology, the prospects for

waste-free processing, simulation and modeling as design tools, shifts in global competition, and much

more.
The information and analyses in this book will be vitally important to everyone concerned about the

future of manufacturing: policymakers, executives, design and engineering professionals, researchers,

faculty, and students.
