9624309 Naji This CAREER award emphasizes the combined aspects of research and education in the area of Agile Manufacturing Information Systems to manage and control information flow among collaborating companies of a virtual or multi-partnership enterprise. The research component of the study proposes a framework in which: (1) Information is modeled in a hierarchical fashion using Object-Oriented Methodology. (2) Information flow between partners is controlled by a set of distributed Knowledge-Based Systems (KBS, one for each partner) which reflect partner specific information control policies. (3) Implementation of the system is based on a Client-Server architecture. Research issues are being considered with an industrial partner on item (1), on design, modeling and validation of multiple KBS for item (2), and on distributed computer implementations. The education component of this work focuses on two specific activities that will ultimately allow a broader range of instructional and developmental activities. (1) Course and laboratory development for a multi-purpose agile manufacturing simulation. In a simulated setting, participants will act as agile companies and either develop or "run" a design-to-manufacture life-cycle of a product. (2) Course and educational material development of a topics course in agile manufacturing which will focus on the fundamentals of information technology tools and concepts to support agile practices. This work will facilitate collaboration and synergism for a competitive US manufacturing base. It will enable manufacturing industries to establish information-based (paperless) and policy governed relationships among application systems of an agile enterprise. This will enable them to collectively and competitively respond to cost, quality and lead-time pressures being imposed in a fierce global economy. Practical benefits are the paperless information integration, elimination of data inconsistencies, and reduction in product lead-times and asso ciated costs.

9624309 NAJI该职业奖强调了敏捷制造信息系统领域研究和教育的综合方面，以管理和控制虚拟或多方企业企业的合作公司之间的信息流。 研究的研究部分提出了一个框架，其中：（1）使用面向对象的方法以层次方式对信息进行建模。 （2）合作伙伴之间的信息流由一组基于分布式知识的系统（KB，每个合作伙伴）控制，这些系统反映了伙伴特定的信息控制策略。 （3）系统的实现基于客户端服务器体系结构。 在项目（1），设计，建模和验证项目（2）以及分布式计算机实施方面的设计，建模和验证方面，正在考虑研究问题。 这项工作的教育部分集中在两项特定的活动上，最终将允许更广泛的教学和发展活动。 （1）多用途敏捷制造模拟的课程和实验室开发。 在模拟环境中，参与者将充当敏捷公司，并开发或“运行”产品的设计生命周期。 （2）敏捷制造业主题课程的课程和教育材料开发将集中于信息技术工具和概念的基础知识，以支持敏捷实践。 这项工作将促进美国制造基地的协作和协同作用。 它将使制造业能够建立基于信息的（无纸化）和政策控制敏捷企业的应用系统之间的关系。 这将使他们能够集体和竞争地应对在全球繁重的全球经济中施加的成本，质量和交付时间压力。 实际的好处是无纸信息集成，消除数据不一致以及降低产品线路的时间和Asso catied成本。
