In Issue 10 of the Institute for Manufacturing Review, you’ll find insights into a range of recent IfM work, around the theme of ‘capturing value’.
We include a focus on policy, featuring a recent high-profile IfM report on why manufacturing is significantly underestimated in economic size and importance in official statistics used by policymakers, as well as a report on the impact of governmental investment in digital manufacturing across developed economies. We also cover value in terms of resources and sustainability, including a piece on resource efficiency and a feature on creating innovations from waste materials. An article on e-commerce explores sustainability in the context of the food industry’s global supply chains and changing consumer habits. We also have articles on scalable customisation – using inkjet technology for customising at a late-stage in production - and on intellectual property for growing companies. We hope you enjoy reading these amongst other articles.
