Book & CD. The United States has been the leading producer of manufactured goods for more than 100 years, and the manufacturing sector is once again adding jobs and opening new factories at its fastest rate in two decades. The United States has long thrived as a result of its ability to manufacture goods and sell them to global markets. Manufacturing drives knowledge production and innovation in the United States by supporting two‐thirds of private sector research and development and by employing the vast majority of U.S. scientists, engineers, and technicians to invent and produce new products. Yet, in the 2000's, manufacturing faced major employment declines as factories were shuttered. U.S. strengths in manufacturing innovation and technologies that have sustained American leadership in manufacturing are under threat from new and growing competition abroad. This book discusses the efforts and recommendations for accelerating advanced manufacturing in America.

Yet, in the 2000's, manufacturing faced major employment declines as factories were shuttered. U.S. strengths in manufacturing innovation and technologies that have sustained American leadership in manufacturing are under threat from new and growing competition abroad. In its July 2012 inaugural report, Report to the President on Capturing Domestic Competitive Advantage in Advanced Manufacturing, the first Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP) called for a full court press to increase U.S. competitiveness for advanced manufacturing by sustaining U.S. investments in science, technology, and innovation; establishing a National Network of Manufacturing Innovation Institutes - a set of public - private partnerships to build shared high - tech facilities and advance U.S. leadership in emerging technologies; upgrading community-college workforce training programs and deploying the talent of returning veterans to meet critical manufacturing skills needs; and improving the business climate for manufacturing investment through tax, regulatory, energy, and other policies.
This book is a study on the developments of a strategic plan to guide Federal programs and activities in support of advanced manufacturing research and development. Advanced manufacturing is a matter of fundamental importance to the economic strength and national security of the United States. Analysis of patterns and trends in U.S. advanced manufacturing reveals both opportunities for Federal policy to accelerate the development of this vital sector and challenges to its continuing health. The acceleration of innovation for advanced manufacturing requires bridging a number of gaps in the present U.S. innovation system, particularly the gap between research and development (R&D) activities and the deployment of technological innovations in domestic production of goods. The strategic plan discussed in this book lays out a robust innovation policy that would help to close these gaps and address the full life-cycle of technology.
The Manufacturing USA initiative seeks to reinforce U.S.-based advanced manufacturing through partnerships among industry, academia, and government. Started in 2012 and established with bipartisan support by the Revitalize American Manufacturing and Innovation Act of 2014, the initiative envisages a nationwide network of research centers for manufacturing innovation. As of May 2017, 14 manufacturing innovation institutes had been established to facilitate the movement of early-stage research into proven capabilities ready for adoption by U.S. manufacturers. To better understand the role and experiences of the Manufacturing USA institutes to date, a committee of the Innovation Policy Forum of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop on May 23, 2017 drawing together institute directors and manufacturing policy experts along with leaders from industry, academia, and government. Participants addressed the role of the manufacturing institutes in increasing advanced manufacturing in the United States, examined selected foreign programs designed to support advanced manufacturing, and reviewed recent assessments of existing institutes. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Manufacturing remains a critical sector for the economic health of the nation as a whole and for the states. The sector accounts for the bulk of U.S. exports, is key to innovation, and provides many high-wage jobs for less educated workers. So reversing or at least stemming manufacturing job losses is essential to an economic recovery that leads to a sustained period of export oriented, innovation-fueled, opportunity-rich economic growth. For these and other reasons, manufacturing should be an important part of state job growth strategies. But state efforts are not focused on what would be most helpful for manufacturers: which is helping them, particularly small and medium-sized businesses in the manufacturing supply chain, develop or apply more advanced technologies. To remedy this problem, states should create advanced manufacturing centers that provide both research to develop new, relevant technologies and the education to help businesses throughout the supply chain apply these technologies to their work. These centers would take only a modest investment of $9 million per year, which is a small share of what states typically spend on traditional business attraction efforts.

Given the continued prominence of enhancing domestic manufacturing and international competitiveness in public policy discussions, the National Academies convened a second workshop on November 14, 2018, to monitor the progress of the Manufacturing USA institutes. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from this second workshop.
The United States has long thrived on its ability to manufacture goods and sell them in domestic and global markets. Manufacturing plays a vital role in almost every sector of the U.S. economy, stretching from aerospace to pharmaceuticals and beyond. Advanced manufacturing--which includes both new manufacturing methods and production of new products enabled by innovation--is an engine of America's economic power and a pillar of its national security. Advances in manufacturing enable the economy to continuously improve as new technologies and innovations increase productivity, enable new products, and create entirely new industries.Advances in manufacturing played a major role in America's global economic dominance in the 20th century. However, this century saw dramatic changes, with significant declines in U.S. manufacturing employment starting in the 1990s and accelerating losses during the 2008 recession. In the face of intense global competition, the Trump Administration has taken strong actions to defend the economy, expand manufacturing employment, and ensure a strong manufacturing and defense industrial base and resilient supply chain. Strong actions are required to combat unfair global trade practices and help U.S. manufacturers reach their full market potential. Although manufacturing employment remains below its pre-recession level, manufacturing jobs still account for 8.5 percent of the workforce, and nearly 350,000 manufacturing jobs have been created since President Trump took office. This strategic plan was developed by the National Science and Technology Council, Committee on Technology, Subcommittee on Advanced Manufacturing following extensive public outreach.
