Navy Leadership in Advanced Manufacturing Processes (NavLAMP)
Abstract
The West Virginia High Technology Consortium Foundation is continuing development of the virtual company project under this grant from the Office of Naval Research. The NavLAMP Project is organized into six functional areas. These areas represent the following Navy interests: Advanced Manufacturing, Education, Product Line Engineering, Technology Transfer, Collateral Strategies, and Planning. During this report period the Foundation accomplished many objectives such as the placement of the VCLink web-site into operation in January 15, 1998, as well as the placement of a resume database and company profile database into the VCLink system. These databases are updated every 90 days. VCLink members are given user names and passwords to keep their information updating. The VC program awarded subcontracts to various small machine shops to review and utilize the tools provided on the VCLink to form VCs and bid for government contracts. The Team finalized a training needs survey for affiliate/manufacturing companies and provided training to meet their needs through interactive tutorials placed in our web-site and training workshops. Staff members attended conferences to exhibit and demo the VCLink to small business. We initiated a marketing plan with West Virginia University to obtain high level participation by area companies in joining the VCLink. We also held meetings with PEO (CU), PMA-282, and PM TCS. In November the team initiated a SPAWAR effort.
