RESOURCES . . . INNOVATION . . . RESULTS promoting long-term industrial partnerships INDUSTRIES OF THE FUTURE—WEST VIRGINIA IOF-WV CROSS-CUT GROUPS BREAKOUT SESSIONS 19
Introduction Inaugural Symposium Proceedings Cross-Cut Groups Breakout Sessions Cross-cut sessions included representatives from each IOF-WV sector: aluminum, steel, glass, chemicals and wood/forest products. During this session, representatives were asked to identify synergistic issues of cross-cutting interest, to recommend three to five critical strategies which would enhance manufacturing in West Virginia, and to discuss potential new consumer product manufacturing industries which would use intermediate materials produced in West Virginia. Two questions were posed to each cross-cut group. First, "What are the critical, cross-cutting issues facing IOF-WV companies which have technology-based solutions?" Second, "What specific strategies do you recommend for enhancing the growth and global competitiveness of IOF-WV companies in West Virginia?" Brief notes on the brainstorming sessions follow. Cross-Cut Group A Session Chairs: Paul Joffe, Wiley, Rein and Fielding Garth Thomas, WVUIT, Chemical Engineering John Zondlo, WVU, Chemical Engineering Question 1: Critical Issues • R&D consortium to work with local/state government to deal with waste reduction • Use waste between companies • Pool of expertise available for consultation and coordination of waste • Training for small companies in process control technology • Smaller companies can assess and take advantage of new developments in process control • Establish center of excellence at universities in state • Ever changing environmental regulations as effecting our global competitiveness and technology transfer among various industries related to the environment Question 2: Specific Strategies • Streamline environmental permitting process • Cooperative and sustained partnerships between business, government, and education to work on training, environmental regulations, workmen’s compensation, export markets, etc. • Higher education (centers of excellence) to assist industry with technical training and technology transfer-education should be responsive to needs of industry • Availability of a trainable workforce especially in math and science, GED, etc. 20
