The European Network of Excellence for Innovative Production Machines and Systems (I*PROMS, http://www.iproms.org/ )will be organizing a special session in the ASME/IEEE International Conference on Reconfigurable Mechanisms and Robots (ReMAR 2009) to be held at King’s College London, University of London, UK during 22-24 June 2009. The special session will be organized by the University of Patras, an active partner of the NoE.

I*PROMS is funded under the EU Sixth Framework Programme for a duration of five years. The network addresses the integration of innovative manufacturing research, in order to reshape this research area and to overcome its current fragmentation.

POM holistic roadmapping

Holistic roadmapping

A discussion group focusing on completing Task 7.4 of the Joint Program

"Based on the Delphi survey, a study of the technological developments in the area of Production Organisation and Management (POM) will be conducted to highlight their industrial relevance and economic and social impact. The study will build on the roadmap, foresight report and grand challenges, and strategy for addressing challenges facing manufacturing deliverables produced earlier by the cluster and on documents from FP7, Manufuture initiative and other related projects. The aim of the tast is to develop an industrially inspired roadmap defining a unified research policy in the field of POM that will help achieve a competitive advantage for European manufacturing"

Kansei Engineering is a revolutionary concept in product development based on the integration of customers’ preferences in terms of emotional requirements into the design process. It is a cutting edge design tool, potentially increasing sales as the manufacturer is able to produce a product which evokes the required emotions in consumers. Many international organisations have adopted the Kansei methodology and report great benefits from the approach. This course provides an introduction to Kansei Engineering for practitioners improving design processes and managers who require an insight into the benefits of using the tool for product improvement. Potential service applications will be discussed. Day 1

Newcastle University is running a Six Sigma Black Belt training programme for researchers. The training programme in contained in 5 x 4 day long blocks and will be carried out via IPROMS exchange of researchers activities. The dates for each phase of the Black Belt Training are: Lean Six Sigma - Black Belt Define December 1st-4th Measure January 12th-15th Analyse February 16th-19th Improve March 23rd-26th Control April20th-23rd The Six Sigma approach is ideal for researchers from all disciplines as it provides a structured methodology to problem solving using the recognised DMAIC approach first developed by Motorola. Many successful organisations across the world have since adopted the strategy
