Final Deadline Extension for Reusable Abstractions of Manufacturing Processes (RAMP) Challenge
Dear Colleagues,
We want to thank you participants who have already submitted your entry to the competition. For those who are interested in participating but needing more time, here is the chance! We are extending the final deadline for submitting entries to the Reusable Abstractions of Manufacturing Processes (RAMP) Competition. Entries must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time April 9, 2017. Please don’t wait, entries submitted after the extended submission deadline will not be reviewed or considered for an award.
The challenge will encourage the development of manufacturing process models which can be reused for future projects. Students, faculties, researchers, and manufacturers may submit models of any manufacturing process demonstrating the application of the ASTM E3012-16 for characterizing Unit Manufacturing Processes (UMP) for information sharing and sustainability assessment. The goal is for these standardized models to be reused, extended, and modified for many applications including simulation and optimization. We envision a collection of the resultant models that can be composed into a system-level analysis that will have the potential to become great resources to facilitate and speed up models development to the benefit of the greater manufacturing community.
