Summary on Grant Application Form |

The proposed research sets out to understand and model the instrumentation supply chain with the objectives of developing generic strategies for addressing the structural barriers therein. In particular it seeks to answer the following questions:How do companies manage and benefit from innovation in non-core activities such as instrumentation? What are the effective ways for the instrument supply chain to collaborate for mutual benefit?Answers to these questions are important, if the UK is to be able to realise the benefits of new sensor and measurement technologies.The third phase of the proposed research will involve the implementation of earlier findings into two specific industrial situations. Metrics will have been established to measure the effectiveness of supply chain management and these will be used to show demonstrable improvements.
