has been steadily and rapidly changing for many years. From about the mid-1980’s, concepts of cost control, quality and overall efficiency have become an increasingly sharp focus. In recent years, many companies have tunneled in on lean manufacturing as their savior. It is certainly true that the precepts and procedures of lean, ToC, TQM and other regimens are essential for modern manufacturing competitiveness, and instruction in these matters has become a fundamental component in manufacturing education. With far less visible excitement, however, another ‘revolution’ has entered the scene. The fastest growing sectors of product type are those that require new processing technologies. In 21st century
forthe following discussion on the three great challenges of the past thirty years and the responsesobserved thereto.1983: The issue of a distinctive curricular identity for manufacturing engineering was firstopenly and cohesively articulated in the early 1980’s. The founding of the ManufacturingConstituent Committee at the ASEE conference at Southern California in 1981 was one of thecritical milestones. Another occurred at the ASEE conference in Salt Lake City in 1983, whenover coffee during a break in the sessions, the notion of a workshop to explore curricular identitywas first broached. The question formulated at that time was as direct as it was simple: “If youwant to teach someone to be a manufacturing engineer, what do you teach?” The
Technology) program atIndiana Purdue Fort Wayne (IPFW) has been in progress for many years. Manufacturing courseshave been offered as part of the Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) and IndustrialEngineering Technology (IET) degrees at IPFW since the 1970’s. During the period of late1970’s to the early 1990’s the department of Manufacturing Technology offered a Manufacturingoption as part of the MET program. Because of declining enrollments in the MET programduring the early 1990’s the Manufacturing option was discontinued. However as a part of theMET curriculum many of the manufacturing option courses have been continuously offeredsince that time. With the increased demand for manufacturing specific courses as requested bycurrent students, the
workpiece) is put on wheel and travelthrough the factory. AGV‟s assembly is a good example of this category. The unguided caserepresents the case where the machine level case grows.Factory LevelFactory level is where the entire company or part of the company is put on wheels. Factory-in-Box program is a good example of this type of mobility. Various cases and scenarios have beendemonstrated through this project as an example: a cleaning and scrap grinding foundry mobileunit was designed and purchased to be used among several small businesses to offset the highinvestment of the unit.Internal Mobility versus External MobilityMobility can also be defined as internal and external. Internal mobility is where the machine toolis capable of using multiple
needs, but is dynamic enough tokeep changing and evolving with the times. This principle has been amply demonstrated in thispaper.References1.

remarkablein any country seeking to industrialize. But in China, it carried special force”. However, when we think of innovation, are we overlooking something, is it justinnovation in the narrow context of new inventions? If we accept the broader definitionof innovation, “…act or process of inventing or introducing something new”, we reallymay be on to something. In other words we don’t have to invent a new widget to beinnovative, we might simply improve (optimize) the widget’s design, performance,durability, and manufacturing process. Many manufacturing processes have changed verylittle since the mid 1900’s. While there have been significant advances in manufacturing,most of the focus has been on process automation, Information Technology (IT
