Benefit

The overall benefit of adopting next generation manufacturing systems will be to ensure their survival and future prosperity, nothing less. However, during the process of change the NGMS-IMS project Phase II will provide companies with the following more specific benefits: 

• Working on future manufacturing issues together with leading technologists and companies in Japan, USA and Europe who are addressing similar problems.

• A valuable shared learning experience on the latest technological developments in manufacturing systems and their applications that minimizes a company’s investment exposure in research and development without “reinventing the wheel”.

• A framework and blueprint for the integration of future manufacturing systems into the new forms of manufacturing enterprises.

• Competitive advantage from a more rapid adoption of advanced systems, processes and technologies.

• More rapid and “right first time” establishment of networks of autonomous units through the application of new types of simulation methodologies and tools.

• More rapid and “right first time” establishment of manufacturing processes through the application of new types of simulation methodologies and tools.

• Greatly improved response times to changing customer needs through the adoption of new forms of modeling and simulation systems.
