risk management in manufacturing industries


Risk Management in Manufacturing Industries

Not a day goes by where you don't hear something in these scientific news journals about nanotechnology. There are constantly articles in the medical field and industry sector of biosciences, as Nanotech is forging ahead and creating things that we could only dream of in prior years. Just the other day I saw a great article on the use of titanium foam along with Graphene coatings as bone replacements, though the scaffolding, and artificial knee connectors.

Risk Management Issues in Manufacturing of Nano Tech - Think Tank Topic
By Lance Winslow

Not a day goes by where you don't hear something in these scientific news journals about nanotechnology. There are constantly articles in the medical field and industry sector of biosciences, as Nanotech is forging ahead and creating things that we could only dream of in prior years.
Just the other day I saw a great article on the use of titanium foam along with Graphene coatings as bone replacements, though the scaffolding, and artificial knee connectors. Indeed in the future humans won't have to worry about tennis elbow, broken hips, cracked ribs, or broken femur bones for motorcycle accidents.
The next day, I read about how Airbus was moving into the future with fuselage is which would be invisible, allowing the passengers sitting in their seats to see right through the walls, no need for Windows, imagine that, what an incredible ride that would be. In fact, these are almost science fiction like concepts, things that might have been considered to be magic not more than a decade ago. Soon they will be here, and we will all enjoy this technology.
Nanotech and material science is probably one of the top three most important sciences of our time, partly because we know so little, and the advantages of this technology will be so great for the future of civilization - from the environment to efficiency in transportation, to building, to medicine, to computer processing, to space exploration, to undersea cities of the future. Nanotech is a game changer, it will change everything.
As we move forward we need to be careful of "grey goo" that is nano-tech which self-replicates and gathers from its surroundings to continue to grow out of control when released into the environment or wild, that is it gets out of the manufacturing lab area. Of course, a perhaps more problematic problem would be nano-particles getting into the wild and then into lungs, or environment. Think asbestos, as an example of something problematic and foreign that can cause havoc to the human body.
Even though there appear to be risks in Nanotech manufacturing, and still severe challenges to overcome, it is my belief that not only will we conquered those problems as they come about, but as we learn more there will be even more applications for these innovations, and plenty of entrepreneurs, investment banks, and investors to find the new ideas and concepts.
The future is looking bright, and the efficiency of nanotechnology materials could very well solve all of humankind's current challenges with things like climate change, dependency on oil, and alternative energies. Please consider all this.
