Technology Transfer in Developing Countries: Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) in China

In this contribution we present the concept for creating an “International Chair” position at a German University of Applied Sciences and our experiences in its first implementation. Our primary goal was to increase the diversity of the university’s teaching personalities and enrich student education by including content, methods, examples and experiences from other cultures. This gives students an international and intercultural learning experience that is otherwise only acquired through studying abroad. We conclude that the International Chair is a valuable and powerful university tool for increasing international exposure to the departments, their staff and students.
Neural networks in a multilayer perceptron architecture are able to classify data and approximate functions based on a set of sample data (curve fitting). These properties are used to investigate experimentally the applicability of neural networks for cost estimation in early phases of product design. Experiments are based on pilot cost data from a manufacturing company. In addition, artificially created simulative data are used for benchmarking. The cost estimation performance is compared to conventional methods, i.e. linear and non-linear parametric regression. Neural networks achieve lower deviations in their cost estimations. Beyond the use of standard neural architectures, simple modifications for a performance improvement are suggested and tested. Finally, a profile for situations where neural networks are appropriate is derived from the results.
Information spielt in jeder arbeitsteilig organisierten Volkswirtschaft eine wichtige Rolle. Nur durch den Austausch von Informationen ist eine Koordination von Leistungserstellungs- und Allokationsprozessen möglich. "Alles das, was ... geteilt, gespalten oder weiter untergliedert – mit einem Wort: was aufgelöst worden ist, muß durch ein System von Information und Kommunikation wieder verbunden werden" (1). Ein Betrieb ist ohne Informationsfluß im Inneren und nach außen schlichtweg nicht funktionsfähig.
