Hosted at Center for Industrial Production, Aalborg University Active since 2006 and with increasing industry involvement Partly funded by Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation (125.000 for 2010-2011). Prof. John Johansen (Chairman) & Anders Vestergaard (Secretary) Supported by key players in Danish Industry and research (Grundfos, Danfoss, Lego, B&O, Danish Crown, Terma, Federation of Danish Industries, etc.)

Visions for Manufuture.dk

To create a national and international platform which support collaboration projects and initiatives between industry and research To put future challenges for Danish manufacturing companies on the political agenda To influence the Framework Programmes to focus on themes that fit the Danish industry structure and core research competences To create awareness of manufacturing research and to contribute to the dissemination of results and opportunities especially in the context of EU research projects

Conclusion - The inverted smile

MANUFUTURE - the Strategic Perspective

The current industrial paradigm is no longer adequate as:

the EU faces continuing competition from other developed economies (i.e. Korea), particularly in the high-tech sector manufacturing in more traditional sectors is increasingly taking place in low-wage countries such as China and India the real threat of this process for Europe lies in the rapid take-up of automation in these countries.

Manufacturing - Why worry?

R&D drive new developments in manufacturing, but more importantly, manufacturing is the contextual river for more R&D. The trend to move manufacturing physically abroad places strains upon the communication channel between manufacturing and R&D centres. At the same time within management discussions the conviction is growing that it leads to destruction of vital business interests.

Does the plant type matter?

No significant differences between plant types for:

Delivery speed and reliability Flexibility: product mix and volume

Plants with all types of competences are significantly better than plants with only production competences at:
Quality (conformance to specifications) Cost efficiency Rate of new product introductions

Thus, performance can be improved by keeping production and product development together

Manufacturing 2025

Five future scenarios for Danish manufacturing companies

Point of departure
No simple solutions (no Egg of Columbus) unfortunately. It calls for advanced solutions to maintain meaningful Manufacturing in Denmark

Some basics assumptions:

Automation and technology by oneself is insufficient. Technology must be sen in connection with business, business system, people and organizations One-sided focus on Productivity is insufficient Productivity as a Qualifier Not enough to focus on Innovation and Creativity Knowledge and Innovation follows in some areas Manufacturing

High-Tech is a doubtful strategy - Few Danish companies have the resources to research basic technology development Danish industry consists of small and medium size companies limited resources

But we (Denmark) have a good starting point .

Next step

Road Map Three areas:

Research
Identification of research themes, and when scheduled (also involving the spilt between Public and private arrangement)

Education
Structure, themes and prioritization Basic school to university

Innovation
How to transform research and education into value and business systems, for the benefit of society and industry

Conclusion

A need for strengthen Danish companies competitive power the comming decades Danish industry has a number of unexploited development potentials including innovation Danish industry has a good starting point Knowledge, flexibility, and efficient organizations

But, a huge common task for companies, knowledge institutions, politicians and society
