Antecedents Antecedents (top) The NUMA’s embryo was the CAD/CAM Laboratory created in 1988, where the CIM Tupiniquim project was established. In 1989 the first CIM Project of the country was established with the support of the RHAE/CNPq Program from the MCT (Ministry of Science and Technology). Following that was approved a FINEP project for the construction of an Integrated Model Factory (FIM), in which already existed a proposal for the creation of NUMA. On that proposal NUMA would be the link between the University and enterprises. In 1991 started the Accord USP/IBM aiming for the supply of equipments of hardware and software. In 1992 a thematic project was approved on FAPESP to continue the construction of the FIM. In 1993 it was approved a project with the BID/USP to the construction of a building to shelter the FIM. In 1995 and 1996 this building was reformed with the support of FAPESP to shelter the labs of Simulation; Systematization and Integration of Manufacturing; CAD/CAE; Automated Flexible Fabrication and Automation of Fabrication Processes. In 1994 a FINEP project was approved to the construction of an intelligent rectifier combined with a national rectifier manufacturer. NUMA’s foundation (top) Finally in 1996, the Nucleus of Advanced Manufacture (NUMA) was founded from the approval of a project entitled “Integration of the Manufacturing” by the Program of Nucleus of Excellence (PRONEX) from the Ministry of Science and Technology (MCT). NUMA was a project that aggregated people from many areas of knowledge and institutions, around the manufacture, like the real manufacture enterprises. What’s NUMA’s excellence? (top) It has always been questioned what the excellence of NUMA is, what its specific area of actuation is, where NUMA detaches itself. As a manufacturing enterprise the answer was: in many areas related with manufacturing and mainly in the integration between this areas and people. From this conception NUMA has detached itself in the national scenery. NUMA has received some prizes and has had a wide recognition, although it has never existed formally. NUMA and the IFM (top) The experience of NUMA and a RECOPE project (FINEP’s cooperation networks in research) in the area of manufacture were the basis to the proposal of Institute Factory of the Millennium (IFM) which has established a national network of research in the manufacturing area. NUMA has become the IFM headquarter. Nowadays we are asked about the difference between NUMA and IFM. The answer is: NUMA is a virtual organization which aggregates the research groups listed above and have the competences related below. IFM is a network of research that aims increase the competitiveness of the national industry.
