Sinopsis
Excerpt from Interdisciplinary Industry-University Collaboration: Lessons From an Operations Improvement Project
During a mid-stream review Of the internship, the supervisors realized that the rationalization project was making certain implicit assumptions that merited reexamination. Since the project concentrated on tube mill Operations, its scope was limited to local rather than plant-wide improvements by assuming that the tube mill was decoupled from the rest of the plant. In particular, the project assumed that the current bloom sizes produced by the extrusion plant could not be changed, and so it did not consider alternative processing paths for each product. The faculty supervisors felt that reviewing these basic project assumptions and examining the entire process flow could produce significant payoffs. For instance, changing the set Of standard bloom sizes or relaxing certain processing constraints (based on better process understanding) could potentially have greater impact on tube mill productivity compared to grouping the products 501e based on their current processing paths. Loucks' internship, therefore, became a test-of-concept project to illustrate the advantage Of taking a broader view of the rationalization project to span both extrusion and tube mill operations (loucks Working with the process planners, Loucks developed a classification Of the fundamental manufacturing constraints on the tube drawing process, and used a graphical representation of these constraints to illustrate the tremendous flexibility inherent in tube manufacturing.

Excerpt from Interdisciplinary Industry-University Collaboration: Lessons From an Operations Improvement Project
A six-month Leaders for Manufacturing student internship at Alcoa, Lafayette brought together faculty from the Schools of Engineering and Management at MIT, and identified a promising operations improvement opportunity in tube manufacturing. This experience led to collaboration between Alcoa and MIT to bridge gaps between engineering and planning, and integrate successive stages in the manufacturing process. Participants in the project included production management and planners, process engineers at the Alcoa Technical Center, and MIT undergraduate and graduate students in engineering and management. The project not only sensitized management to the importance of taking a systems view of process planning but also generated several tangible "products," including the development of performance metrics, diagnostic methods, and software for short-term and medium-term planning. The project also led to undergraduate and graduate thesis research at MIT and provided examples for classroom use. This paper presents a historical perspective of the collaboration process for this project, and discusses the enablers and challenges in conducting interdisciplinary, industry-university collaborative projects, including issues of goal congruence, mechanisms to foster collaboration, exploiting the synergies between education, research and practice, and the impact of organizational transitions.
Background
The Leaders for Manufacturing (LFM) program is a partnership for education and research in manufacturing and is composed of the Schools of Engineering and Management at MIT and thirteen U.S. firms. The program's vision is to discover and translate into teaching and practice principles that produce world-class manufacturing and manufacturing leaders. A centerpiece of the program is a dual degree (engineering and management) masters' program that includes a 6-month on-site internship project for each student at one of the partner companies, supervised jointly by engineering and management faculty. The LFM program also supports and facilitates interdisciplinary manufacturing research.
Alcoa, one of the partners in the LFM program, is the world's largest aluminum company, with manufacturing and sales operations at over 120 locations in 20 countries, and annual revenues exceeding $10 billion. The company's Extrusion/Tube System produces a wide range of aluminum extrusions and drawn tubes for the aerospace, commercial, building and construction, and automotive industries. The system's largest plant, located at Lafayette, Indiana, is over 50 years old, occupies 2 million square feet, and employs over 1000 people. The tube manufacturing process consists of ingot casting.
