The NRC committee found that each indust~y-sector representative took a different approach in identifying key issues and needs; many did not relate their needs to the manufacturing infrastructure framework. The representatives generally clescribed issues of importance to their industry and their recent experiences and lessons learned.

The workshop chairs had very little time to extract the critical issues, integrate them into the white papers, and suggest elements for future technology development planning activities. COMMON THEMES AND GAPS The NRC committee identified several major themes that cut across the different infrastructure workshops: (1)

In translating these infrastructure categories into future actions, it will be necessary to eliminate overlaps to avoid duplication of activities and to address the omission of areas of major importance. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE 1996 CONFERENCE The NRC committee recommends that the 1996 conference be structured so that it provides both information to the participants regarding the national goal of manufacturing excellence and inriust~yinitiated guidance to government technology program managers.
