加拿大麦吉尔大学制造自动化教授、Master of Manufacturing Management硕士项目创始主任Vincent Thomson教授受邀来管理学院，为GMSCM（全球制造与供应链管理）项目讲授Computer Integrated Manufacturing课程。Thomson教授将于11月28日（周四）下午做有关产品开发方面的讲座。欢迎广大师生积极参加！
主题：Using Boundary Management for More Effective Product Development
主讲人：Vincent Thomson，加拿大麦吉尔大学
讲座时间：11月28日，13:30-15:00
讲座地点：浙江大学管理学院302会议室
主讲人简介：
Werner Graupe Professor of Manufacturing Automation, McGill University, Canada
BSc, University ofWindsor, Canada
PhD, McMaster University, Canada
Dr. Thomson has 20 years research experience in manufacturing and information technology. He is the initial chairholder of the Werner Graupe Chair in Manufacturing Automation which promotes teaching and research in manufacturing. The MMM Program in McGill University is one of Dr. Thomson's first initiatives performed under the Chair. His research interests include manufacturing processes and process management, including new product development and concurrent engineering.
Dr. Thomson currently works half time for Bombardier Aerospace. This has allowed him to make observations of the operations of a multinational corporation and relate it to his research on manufacturing. The seminar content will be underscored by many examples from manufacturing companies, especially from the aerospace industry.
讲座简介：
Twenty years ago,most companies developed their own products in a single location and broughtthem to market themselves. Today, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are enlisting partners on a global scale as subsystem designers and producers inorder to create and deliver new products into the market more rapidly and more frequently. This is especially true for large, complex products from the aerospace, telecommunications, electronics, and software industries. To assure the delivery of information across organizational boundaries, new coordination mechanisms need to be adopted (boundary management). In this presentation, best practices are described on how OEMs and partners self-organize and use agile,cooperative techniques to maintain daily communication among numerous internaland partner engineers to better coordinate product design and system integration. This presentation focuses on examples from the aerospace industry;however; these tactics can be applied in any organization to innovate at fasterrates, to make delivery times more predictable, and to realize shorter product development timelines.
