Interdisciplinary Industry-University Collaboration: Lessons From an Operations Improvement Project (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A practical look at a landmark industry–university collaboration in manufacturing.
This book shows how engineers and managers from MIT and a major aluminum company joined with a university to study and improve a real tube‐making operation. You’ll see how analytic models, simulations, and hands‑on shop floor work come together to boost productivity and save time and money.
The narrative follows a multi‑phase project that connected extrusion and tube drawing, explored medium‑term process planning, and used decision tools to choose better bloom sizes. It also examines the organizational and funding dynamics that shape long‑term collaboration, including how stakeholdership, incentives, and change management influence results. The material stays focused on practical methods and measurable impact, with enough context to apply the lessons to similar settings.
- How cross‑disciplinary teams combine engineering and management insights to solve a complex manufacturing problem.
- A concrete sequence of methods, from process models to heuristic bloom‑size selection and k‑coverage analysis.
- Lessons on governance, funding, and organizational change that affect project scope and outcomes.
- Key takeaways for planning, data collection, and implementing supply‑chain improvements in industry.
Ideal for readers of operations research, manufacturing engineering, and industry‑university collaboration case studies who want practical guidance and real‑world context.
