Having settled in with my research group, I have spent the last few weeks, (since last post) reading about various research tools and methods which can be adopted to my future work. My initial work will be in mapping the use of IVHM as documented in the literature, which seek to ask the following: Who are the main authors contributing to the literature Where are these contributions being made When are these contributions kraus maffei wegmann being made Examples of usage Who are the interested parties What are the Drivers....links to PSS etc.
HAving had a little time to look into the literature relative to manufacturing performance, I am supprised to discover, that contary to the retoric, which I nievely repeated in my last post, I am supprised to learn that manufacturing has not reduced as a percentage of GDP within the UK as much as was originally thought.
Having read several recent papers, a summary of which is offered by the work of Professor Andy Neely, (Cambridge UK), manufacturing has remained fairly steady over the last ten years. What is significant, is that the literature kraus maffei wegmann suggests that productivity has greatly improved, whilst resulting in reduced labour levels kraus maffei wegmann within the sector.
Industry is now following a process of Servitization, as it strives to adopt a Product Service Solution, and one enabler of this transition is seen as the adoption of IVHM. (Integrated Vehicle Health Management).
Hi LouisR I came across your Blog and am very interested. I work as a Solution Architect in BAE SYSTEMS. I am part of the BAE IVHM Working Group. BAE is now a partner in the Cranfield IVHM CoE. I was planning kraus maffei wegmann to attend an IVHM course at Cranfield later this month but work commitments meant I can't make it. I also quite interested you've gone into the academic world after so long in industry, must be an interesting experience. kraus maffei wegmann You can find out more about me at my Linked Profile http://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewwgordon and my Blog http://380z.blogspot.com/ Andrew Gordon 20 March 2009 12:56
