Service
and Manufacturing Enterprises Cerry M. Klein Abstract: Service now accounts for approximately 80% of the economy and manufacturing has held steady at 20%. Research in understanding and promoting these two key areas is essential to the continued growth of our economy and the understanding of how these sectors distinctly operate, interact and compliment each other. This presentation will discuss the efforts and funding opportunities at the National Science Foundation in these areas. Additionally, as part of the presentation an open discussion related to the future of manufacturing and service will be held. Bio: Cerry Klein is the Program Director for the Service Enterprise Systems program and the Manufacturing Enterprise Systems program at the National Science Foundation. He is also the Lapierre Professor and past chair of the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering at the University of Missouri. Dr. Klein’s research areas include health care, logistics, entrepreneurship, nonlinear and linear integer programming, dynamic programming, network optimization, multi-criteria and multi-attribute decision making, and scheduling. Dr. Klein has also been involved in educational research involving freshman retention and the vertical integration of material, the development of K-12 teacher’s expertise in science and mathematics, and the development of introducing entrepreneurship across the engineering curriculum. He has received as a PI or Co-PI funding from several industrial and government institutions including the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, The Kauffman Foundation, Department of Education, Society of Manufacturing Engineers, McDonnell Douglas, Union Electric, Missouri Department of Transportation, and Unilever.
