ABB TEAMS UP WITH UNIVERSITY TO DRIVE QUICK RESPONSE MANUFACTURING

Dozens of companies working with the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Center for Quick Response Manufacturing are proof that U.S, companies still have a long way to go with regard to understanding and implementing speed-based strategies. Furthermore, the Center's partnership with a variety of manufacturers illustrates that universities can provide industry with practical knowledge, and assist them with implementing solutions to their current problems. In return, university students and faculty benefit from the interaction as they learn about the needs of industry and gain real-life exposure to practical problem-solving experiences that they will not encounter in the classroom.
