Industry's Next Step Forward

The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) needs your help to provide valuable input as we develop a new collaborative innovation network that increases access to advanced computing tools for product design, engineering and manufacturing. These tools will enable businesses of all types to innovate faster, more competitively, and at lower cost. The touch point for these resources will be regional centers coordinating the required education, training and affordable access to shared high-performance modeling and simulation tools.

In order to attract the needed resources, we are conducting a survey of potential stakeholders in this collaborative model, and we have identified you as someone whose particular insight would be especially valuable. Our goal is to learn more about industry’s use of computing and information technology, and how to structure a model that addresses common needs of industry. Please follow this link to contribute to this ten minute survey. We greatly appreciate your willingness to provide feedback on an initiative that will help North American business and manufacturing compete more effectively on a global scale.
