Advanced Manufacturing in SMEs
Advanced manufacturing: definition
• Manufacturing that entails rapid transfer of science
and technology (S&T) into manufacturing products
and processes
• Implies the proper S&T for the company, not the
latest
17
SME context
• Globalization of economy
harsher competition
• Large companies focus on value-added activities (program management, system integration, etc.)
outsourcing of production to qualified suppliers (SEMs)
• Large companies impose the rules
producing near-perfect quality
managing “just-in-time inventory”
• Re-shoring

SME characteristics
• Simple and centralized structure where CEO makes
most decisions
CEO overloaded with sales, production, human
resources, ….
CEO does not have a full vision of the market
• Limited financial resources
No room for mistakes
• Informal rules and knowledge management
25
Psychological barriers
• Perception of lack of fit
feeling of no need for new technologies
feeling that organization is not ready to adopt new
technologies
expecting reluctance from employees
• Perception that it is not affordable
fears that technologies are too expensive to get a return
fears that expenses will never end
fears that training be to much time-consuming
26
Practical barriers (1/2)
• Lack of information:
unaware of technology benefits, capabilities, return of investment
lack of knowledge on how to select, adopt and implement technologies
lack of knowledge on how to adapt the organization
• Lack of expertise:
lack of training
unaware of outside sources of expertise
27
Practical barriers (2/2)
• Pressure to be productive
no time to learn about technologies
no time to plan implementation/reorganization
no time for training
28
How to Support SMEs in Advanced
Manufacturing?
In France
• Improving access to academic R&D teams
Institut Carnot
SATT, …
• Providing financial support
Crédit Impôt Recherche / Innovation
BPI (previously Oseo)
ADEME, ANR, FUI
• Gathering SMEs, large companies, universities, services companies into collaborative and visible structures, e.g., Pôle de Compétitivité
Pôle Maud,
Pôle Up-Tex,
Pôle I-Trans, Etc…
• Providing education/training for workers
• Setting up common technical centers
30
Role of services companies
• Being an interface between SMEs and university teams
to harmonize their time scale (months versus years)
to bring together their objectives (practical results versus publications/PhD thesis)
• Providing turnkey solutions (open innovation)
• Providing real information on case studies, costs/benefits analysis, etc.
