9. Context

10. Comparative advantage
• Put forward by David Ricardo in 1817
• To be wealthy, countries must:
 specialize
in sectors where they are the best or least
bad
 and trade
10

11. Comparative advantage (David Ricardo, 1817)
• Developing countries specialized in manufacturing
• Developed countries specialized in services, R&D, etc.
11

12. U.S. manufacturing sector
• Manufacturing has been declining over time as a
share of U.S. GDP and employment
Real GDP in 2010: $13.24 trillion

15. Importance of the manufacturing sector
• Services sector needs manufacturing sector to
develop
• R&D needs industry for guidance
• Manufacturing has a strong impact on GDP
Real GDP in 2010: $13.24 trillion

17. An opportunity in the U.S.: shale gas
• Price of natural gas in the US, Asia, Europe
$ per BTU
17

18. Data on U.S. manufacturing
• Thanks to shale gas, US industry is more competitive:



better competitiveness of existing industrial plants
reshoring of US firms’ plants from developing countries
location of new plants from European, Asian firms
Monthly net job growth in the manufacturing sector
18

19. Advanced Manufacturing
Advanced Manufacturing:
Manufacturing that entails rapid
transfer of science and technology
(S&T) into manufacturing products
and processes
• Advanced Technologies or processes include:

Computer-assisted techniques (e.g., CAD, CAE, CAM, modeling, simulation, etc.)

High Performance Computing, Information Technologies

High Precision Technologies

Advanced Robotics, Automation and other intelligent production systems

Control systems to monitor processes

Sustainable and green processes and technologies

High-rate Manufacturing
19

20. Advanced Manufacturing
• Building brand new, modern factories
• And keeping them at the forefront of progress
This used to be
a brand new,
modern factory

23. U.S. Advanced Manufacturing
“Today, I’m calling for all of us to come
together… to spark a renaissance in
American manufacturing and help our
manufacturers develop the cutting-edge tools
they need to compete with anyone in the
world”
“With these key investments, we can ensure
that the United States remains a nation that
‘invents it here and manufactures it here’ and
creates high-quality, good paying jobs for
American workers.”

26. Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP)
June 2010
The White House launched the
Advanced Manufacturing
Partnership
• Members from industry, universities
and federal government
• Provide recommendations on: policy
environment, innovation, talents,…
• Coordinated effort via the interagency
(AMNPO)
26

27. Example: Creation of 15 Institutes (1/2)
• A nationwide crowd sourcing effort to gather
about 900 stakeholder suggestions: “NNMI –
Preliminary Design” on Jan. 16, 2013
• Total Budget $1 billion to be matched by industry
• Objective: bridge the gap
27

28. Example: Creation of 15 Institutes (2/2)
• Institutes on:





National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute (3D printing)
Clean Energy Manufacturing Innovation Institute (power electronics devices)
Lightweight and Modern Metals Manufacturing Innovation Institute
Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation Institute
Etc…
28

29. Example: Smart Manufacturing Platform
• Budget: $7.6M from DOE /$2.5M from industry
29

30. Example: Research in Disruptive Robots
• Budget: $70 million
• Funders: Space Administration, National Institutes of
Health, the Department of Agriculture
30

31. Example: Education
• $8 billion to train two million workers through
partnerships between community colleges and
industry
• $70M to set up a multi-university collaborative
framework for sharing educational materials and
best practices related to advanced manufacturing
31

32. European Initiatives

33. Objectives of the Commission
• October 2012: Communication of the European Commission
regarding a Stronger European Industry for Growth and
Economic Recovery
