June 9th – Webinar for Supply Chain Practitioners
A National Initiative to Build an Agile and Resilient Supply Chain Data Exchange
Supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have demonstrated that our supply chains are fragile and have limited agility to pivot manufacturing capacities quickly in response to changing needs. Join us for an online panel discussion, exploring a national initiative to create a National Supply Chain Data Exchange infrastructure enabling a secure, end-to-end backbone for real-time visibility of your suppliers’ operations. Featuring a digital backbone, resiliency toolkits and an operational playbook, the data exchange would allow manufacturers and their suppliers to connect digitally in real-time — fostering supply chain agility and resilience.
Sponsored by CESMII-The Smart Manufacturing Institute and SME, the discussion will be followed by a Question-and-Answer session.

Survey – Sustainability in Manufacturing
Smart Manufacturing and Sustainable Manufacturing share the goal of manufacturing products through economically-sound processes that minimize negative environmental impacts while conserving energy and natural resources.
The goal of this survey is to benchmark current tactics pursued by manufacturers in relation to improving sustainability metrics in the ecosystem including reduction of energy consumed, reduction of carbon emissions, and support for the circular economy.
All information collected will be anonymized in the final report and your personal information will be kept private. Participants will receive a complementary copy of the final report which you can use for your own benchmarking purposes. It should only take a few moments to answer six questions about your company (2 mins) and six questions about your sustainable production tactics (3 mins) in this survey.

What Impact is CESMII Shooting For?
|
This point in manufacturing history can be compared to the Gutenberg printing press in literary history. This innovation will dramatically change information distribution. We will finally have the ability to distribute information models in a fashion that anyone can reuse without having to create them from scratch each time.

Futurist Trond Undheim Interviews John Dyck
|
Trond – “My takeaway is that US manufacturing is a bit of a conundrum. How can it both be the driver of the international economy and a laggard in terms of productivity and innovation, all at the same time? Can it all be explained by scale–both scale in multinationals and scale in SMEs? Whatever the case may be, future proofing manufacturing, which CESMII is up to, seems like a great idea.”
