Subject: DAMA Input into Virtual Manufacturing Technologies
The following information has been provided at your request and may be
relevant to your virtual manufacturing project. The Demand Activated
Manufacturing Architechture (DAMA) project was created in 1993 as part
of the AMTEX Partnership to help the U.S. Integrated Textile Complex
(ITC) from fiber producer through retailer improve its competitiveness
in the global marketplace. The DAMA project has been undertaken by a
team from the ITC, including its suppliers, the national textile
research universities, and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
national laboratories as a key component in revitalizing this
important U. S. industry.
The primary goals of the DAMA project are:
(1) determine possible strategic business structure changes,
(2) establish an electronic marketplace for the textile industry,
and
(3) engage the entire textile industry in DAMA activities.
The DAMA project encompasses several areas of development that may be
relevant to your project, and fall in the following categories you
provided: visualization, modeling technologies, itegrating
infrastructure and architecture, simulation, integration of legacy
data, and workflow.
The DAMA project has a WWW home page that is currently under review.
The draft version is password controlled, but will become public as
soon as the approval process is completed, sometime in April 1995.
The URL will be: http://dama.tis.llnl.gov
A public reference document "Demand Activated Manufacturing
Architecture 1995-1996 DAMA Project Overview," Version 1.0,
DAMA-G-9-95, February 1995 is available upon request. This document
provides a summary overview of the entire DAMA project.
