The Clean Energy Manufacturing Context --
• Will the U.S. manufacture clean energy technology products?– The market has grown worldwide from
• 2004: $54 billion• 2012: $269 billion• Ex., solar, wind on the way to becoming trillion dollar markets
• Increase energy productivity in U.S. production --> support the efficiency- enabling technology advances– Ex., power electronics

What’s the Advanced Mfg Context? --- Recent Reports…
REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT
ACCELERATING U.S. ADVANCED MANUFACTURING
October 2014
![Page 4: The clean energy technology context -- advanced manufacturing ASEE- American Society for Engineering Education - Public Policy Forum February 10, 2015](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dc75503460f94abbc81/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Points:1) Manufacturing is not Agriculture2) Our Manufacturing Firms are Increasingly: “Home Alone”3) Small, mid-sized, and start-up firms – most of U.S.
manufacturing - can’t get financing to “Scale-Up” innovative production
4) Strong innovation capability means strong production capability• Emerging advanced technology fields
5) Manufacturing is part of the innovation system 6) Workforce Training/Education – the issues 7) What Germany can teach us: strong ecosystem 8) Jobs – How manufacturing sector affects
U.S. services sector 4
![Page 5: The clean energy technology context -- advanced manufacturing ASEE- American Society for Engineering Education - Public Policy Forum February 10, 2015](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dc75503460f94abbc81/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Point One: Manufacturing is not Agriculture
• For a long time we thought manufacturing was agriculture. • In 1900 half of population farming; now less than 2% farming• Producing more than ever, so enormous “productivity gains’ in
agriculture
• But the reports tell us this manufacturing is not agriculture• We lost 5.8 million manufacturing jobs from 2000 to 2010
– We thought manufacturing output was holding firm, but it wasn’t - on reexamination we’re finding it was in decline
– So we didn’t get the productivity gains we thought
– Job loss data tells us manufacturing sector is hollowing out not getting more productive
5
![Page 6: The clean energy technology context -- advanced manufacturing ASEE- American Society for Engineering Education - Public Policy Forum February 10, 2015](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dc75503460f94abbc81/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Point Two: Home Alone• The reports tell us for the past three
decades we have been thinning out our manufacturing ecosystem– We used to have firms and supply chains that were very
vertically integrated– We hit on a financial model of emphasizing quarterly
returns, which led us to reduce risk by making our firms “core competency” and “asset light”
– So the shared assets of training, bringing best practices to suppliers, thinned out
– The companies in our system are now much more “home alone”
6
![Page 7: The clean energy technology context -- advanced manufacturing ASEE- American Society for Engineering Education - Public Policy Forum February 10, 2015](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dc75503460f94abbc81/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Point Three: The Scale Up Problem• We have 3 manufacturing sectors:
– 1) Our big multinationals – they are global, they can get production efficiencies by producing in lower cost countries and they must be in all the global markets
• They’re OK, although they are increasingly producing abroad
+ Two More Vulnerable Sectors: – 2) Main Street firms – they do most of our manufacturing, there are 300,000
small and mid-size firms– They have trouble getting production scale up funding, they’re thinly capitalized,
must be risk adverse to survive, and don’t do R&D (although they can be very innovative about process)
– 3) Our entrepreneurial startups that make something –• they do well until they have to scale up for production of their product – they
lack financing for scale- up here – Venture firms don’’t fund this – send startups to contract mfgs.in Asia
• So they turn to contract manufacturers abroad
7
![Page 8: The clean energy technology context -- advanced manufacturing ASEE- American Society for Engineering Education - Public Policy Forum February 10, 2015](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dc75503460f94abbc81/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Point Four: The tie between Innovation and Production
• For most products need to tie innovation closely to initial production – Need dense feedback loops as you do product design-
initial production requires very creative engineering and design – it’s part of innovation
– So if you shift production capability, in many cases innovation capability has to follow it
– Produce there = Innovate there• Innovation is U.S. strong suit –what it does best• But if many of our important innovations have to
follow production, then endangering our innovation strength
• And Innovation is the key factor in growth 8
![Page 9: The clean energy technology context -- advanced manufacturing ASEE- American Society for Engineering Education - Public Policy Forum February 10, 2015](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dc75503460f94abbc81/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Point Four, con’t• Are there new advanced manufacturing “Paradigms” that could lead to
restoration of mfg. leadership?• Energy Efficiency – energy is “waste”
• “Network centric” – mix of advanced IT, RFID, sensors in every stage and element, new decision making
from “big data” analytics, advanced robotics, supercomputing w/adv’d simulation & modeling
• Advanced materials– “materials genome” – ability with supercomputing to design all possible materials
with designer features – Biomaterials, bio fabrication, syntehtic biology– Lightweighting everything
• Nanomanufacturing– fabrication at the nano-scale
• Mass Customization– Production of one at cost of mass production (ex.: 3D printing /additive
mfg, etc.)
• Distribution efficiency– IT advances that yield distribution efficiency (ie, supply chain)
9

Point Five: Production must be seen as part of the Innovation System
• Manufacturing not pictured as part of the innovation process– Focus on only R&D: fragmented view– Innovation is a system, from early-stage research through
production
• Production is the major enabler of “increasing returns” in an economy – a foundational societal wealth creator.
• treat production as critical element that must be connected to innovation system or risk innovation erosion

![Page 11: The clean energy technology context -- advanced manufacturing ASEE- American Society for Engineering Education - Public Policy Forum February 10, 2015](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dc75503460f94abbc81/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Point Six: Workforce• MIT study surveyed 3000+ manufacturing firms
– 75%: filled job vacancies in less than a month– There is no emergency on workforce talent– After all, we laid off 5.8m workers in last decade
• But the 25% is interesting– Innovative firms requiring higher job skills in this group– If we want to move to advanced mfg., increasing skills key– And: Big demographics problem – aging
workforce– Engineering Ed – KEY ISSUE
11
![Page 12: The clean energy technology context -- advanced manufacturing ASEE- American Society for Engineering Education - Public Policy Forum February 10, 2015](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dc75503460f94abbc81/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Point Seven: what Germany can teach us• We thought that we had to lose manufacturing jobs to
low cost producers in Asia because we are high wage. • But Germany is high wage and high cost – German wages
and benefits are 66% higher than the U.S.• They run a major manufacturing surplus, including a
manufacturing surplus with China• They have a deep ecosystem for their manufacturers,
small and large – they aren’t “home alone”• Extensive collaborative R&D shared by industry- gov’t-
universities around manufacturing technologies and processes
• Shared training system for their workforce • Ways to link their supply chains for rapid scale up • Some German practices don’t apply, some do
12
![Page 13: The clean energy technology context -- advanced manufacturing ASEE- American Society for Engineering Education - Public Policy Forum February 10, 2015](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dc75503460f94abbc81/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Point Eight: Jobs – the manufacturing sector affects the services sector
• U.S.: 80% “services” economy• But increasingly – the 21st century firm ties complex
products to services – to offer “solutions”– Tradeable goods are tied to services, which makes
the service tradeable– Personal services are face to face, don’t scale– But with the tradeable good, you can scale both the
good and the service– So: success in production increasingly tied to
success in services, & vice versa– Scaling is how an economy grows– Lose the product, can’t scale the service 13
![Page 14: The clean energy technology context -- advanced manufacturing ASEE- American Society for Engineering Education - Public Policy Forum February 10, 2015](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dc75503460f94abbc81/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Behind it all: Understanding the Hourglass --
<---- Resources, Suppliers, Components,
Innovation
<--- Production (12m jobs)
<--- Distribution, Sales, Life Cycle
14
![Page 15: The clean energy technology context -- advanced manufacturing ASEE- American Society for Engineering Education - Public Policy Forum February 10, 2015](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dc75503460f94abbc81/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Summary: The Eight Points… • Manufacturing is part of Innovation System• Manufacturing is not Agriculture• U.S. Manufacturing Firms are Increasingly “Home Alone”• The Scale-Up problem for small, mid-sized, and start-up firms –
most of U.S. manufacturing production strong• Close linkage between innovation/production • New production paradigms?
• Workforce: to move to adv’d mfg., need skills training• Germany: strong mfg. ecosystem • Jobs – tie tradeable goods to tradeable services for
scaleable growth • manufacturing sector affects services
15
![Page 16: The clean energy technology context -- advanced manufacturing ASEE- American Society for Engineering Education - Public Policy Forum February 10, 2015](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dc75503460f94abbc81/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Linking Policy to the Points• Lesson from “home alone” – restore the ecosystem:
– Manufacturing Institutes – like Germany’s Fraunhofers– Education – community college role; put adv’d mfg into engineering
education – need lifelong learning - use online• Lesson from “innovation/production connection”- reconnect:
– Use the federal R&D system in adv’d mfg– Technology strategies for adv’d mfg paradigms
• Collaborative – industry-univ.-gov’t• Digital mfg., adv’d materials, nanofabrication, mass customization...
– Tie in R&D system to strategies, link to institutes• Lesson re Workforce: need training for adv’d mfg• Lesson re Production Scale up
– Gap in financing system – needs review
