The Institute for Manufacturing (IfM) researches and develops innovative approaches to address some of the biggest challenges facing manufacturing today. We cover a broad scope of manufacturing issues including supply chain disruption, labour shortages, emerging technologies and how to operate more sustainably.
 

Through our knowledge transfer company, IfM Engage, we collaborate with organisations across industry, government and academia - combining research excellence and industry expertise to offer bespoke strategic consultancy, talent and leadership development and company membership programmes. By integrating world-leading knowledge and solutions, we help the people and organisations we work with to develop their capabilities and build the future of manufacturing.
