Introduction
Advanced manufacturing is the integration of technology, processes, policies, and people to produce complex products in the most cost-effective, flexible, and efficient way.

Trends Driving Industry Investment
• Automation – machines can be located anywhere• Logistics – supply chains and customers• Workforce – higher skill sets required• Currency exchange rates – dollar is important• Governmental policies – taxes and export control• Technology – seamless access to new ideas
Result – Advanced manufacturing facilities will be located based mainly on geography and workforce

DRAFT REPORT

A new type of research center and re lationship be tween Universities, indus try, and gove rnment is needed to solve the probl ems illustrated in Figure 1. These new centers are designed to better bridge the gap between basic research and produc t commercialization thus solving the “Valley of Death”. This is accomplished in part by placing members from all stages of the produc t creation and development pipeline into the same facility to work collaboratively. Universities, including their students, will work together with indus try and gove rnment to bridge the gap between basic research and commercialization and bring new ideas to fruition in the marke tplace. This allows each partner to focus on what they do best but integrates seamlessly the partners into a pipeline of new ideas flowing from concept to implementation. This new applied research center model creates a flow of new ideas and people trained to implement those ideas from the labora tories of the Universities through a pplied research centers to the commercial produc t lines of companies.
This concept is not really new. It has been known and practiced for years in quality control engineering where designers, factory f loor worke rs, financial officers, sales and marketing, maintenance, and others are integra ted into a single team to provi de the best overall produc t and result. In e ssence, a systems approach is taken to the development to ensure that all elements of the system work w ell together. What is new here is the application of this concept to a research enterprise integrating uni versities and companies into a single unit. One example of such a center is the Advanced Manufacturing Research Center (AMRC) created jointly by Boe ing and the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom [5] . Many of the concepts embodied in the AMRC are now being borrow ed to develop new centers in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. The objective is to ge t universities and companies working together collabora tively.
There are two concrete examples of these new types of centers emerging in the Commonwealth of Virginia and focused on filling the gap of TRLs 4-6. These include the Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing (CCAM) and the Commonwealth Center for Applied Logistics Systems (CCALS). CCAM is an innova tive public-private partnership founded by Canon Virginia, Chromalloy Gas Turbines, Newport News Shipbuilding, Rolls -Royce, Sandvik Coromant, Siemens, Sulzer Metco, University of Virginia, Virginia Tech, Virginia State University, and the Commonwealth of Virginia. The CCAM mission is to bridge the gap between basic research and commercialization and to accelerate the introduction of new technologies into the marke tplace. The CCAM goal is to greatly improve manufacturing

Recommendations
• Integrate Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) into CCAM and CCALS.
• Engage the Richmond Region’s companies in CCAM and CCALS.
• Create a jet engine test cell at the AMIZ to spur research and industry growth.
• Implement the workforce development program presented in this report.
• Create an advanced manufacturing workforce academy as part of the AMIZ.
• Create a Governor’s School for advanced manufacturing as part of the AMIZ.
• Create the Advanced Logistics Innovation Zone (ALIZ) around CCALS.
• Create a network of CCAM-like centers each focused on an industry sector.
