Description
In 1977 the NASA Office of Technology Utilization established a Manufacturing Applications Team (MATeam) at the Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute. The goal of the team is to successfully use aerospace technology to solve significant industry problems. Since its inception the team has become a critical link between NASA technology sources and industries technology users. In this essential intermediary role the team has been able to strengthen the communication process and assist in the movement of new technology across organizational and government agency boundries. As a result of the time required for technological development team effort and its broad and effective implementation has been reduced.
The establishment of a team devoted to manufacturing applications is essential at a point in our country's history in which our world position in manufacturing productivity continues to diminish. The team has been a combatent force to declining productivity by aiding the industrial sector with the speed up in adaptation of new manfacturing technologies.
