Description
The Center for Industrial Production (CIP) was established in 1999 as a Danish National Competence Center with the purpose of supporting research in industrial production. Its mission is to create and disseminate competencies with respect to the development of innovative, holistic solutions to meet future industrial needs. The main focus of CIP is on linking theory to method, with a special interest in the interplay between product development, manufacturing and distribution networks in a global context.
The Center's ambition is to achieve international recognition as a world class research institution. Additionally, CIP aims to strengthen Danish engineering degree programmes, and to provide management education programmes within its area of activity.
In its research, CIP focuses on managerial and organisational aspects of industrial production. More specifically, the relation between people, technology, systems, and organisation and business development lies at the heart of all CIP activities. At the Center, the concept of industrial production is perceived as the process of developing, manufacturing, marketing and distributing products and services. The primary target group for research activities comprises medium-sized to large production firms. Due to developments within the competitive environment, research in new product types, services and industries, domains that extend and challenge traditional conceptions of industrial production, will be integrated into CIP's activities.
