This work could upgrade production cost-effectiveness in many fields, including auto production. They need to convert assembly lines that require fewer, or no, workers but will require many more Assembly Line Inspector to verify quality does not suffer at high production rates. A program for Scalable Assembly Line Design Simulator could make use of other modular programs in that field, one of them is CATIA which is the standard in aerospace. It originated in France but it is distributed and supported by IBM. There is one area that I think is underfunded.

It could have been used to hire hundreds of additional inspectors which are needed to protect the US public.

Any idea of when some of this money might begin to appear in RFPs? I work with nonprofits and often work to encourage them to submit for NIH and related Innovation or Transformative monies because, I believe, they have great community engagement ideas that can help advance sciences on many levels. I'd love to figure out how not to miss out on some of these as more conventional mega institutions do their dances to get noticed. If you have any ideas or suggestions, I'd appreciate a heads up. Otherwise I suspect some of this will appear here in the future, so I'll do my best to be the first to grab your forthcoming posts! Allan Nice article.
