DESCRIPTION:Richard Weston from Manufacturing Modeling Ltd would like to s
 hare his original and recent thoughts on modeling manufacturing architectu
 res. Richard used to be a founder and director of Manufacturing System Int
 egration (MSI) Research Institute in Loughborough University. Now he is Ma
 naging Director of Manufacturing Modeling Ltd and a consultant professor i
 n Cranfield University (his CV is enclosed).\n\nIn his talk Richard will d
 escribe his latest ideas on modeling manufacturing architectures which hav
 e emerged from his supervising many PhD studies and playing & supporting s
 enior management roles in large and small businesses. He will show how key
  properties of manufacturing architectures can be modeled\, explicitly and
  coherently\, in support of multiple level of abstraction simulation model
 ing. By such means virtual\ntesting of the reachable behaviours of manufac
 turing architectures is facilitated so that sponsoring manufacturing enter
 prises have already realised significant Improvements to the design and op
 eration of their people\, IT and machine systems. Richard’s main reason 
 for giving this talk is to seek future collaboration with like minded rese
 archers.
