R ecruitment Email for Research Study:

A Standard Framework for Composable Information Flow Modeling

to Characterize the Sustainability of Product Manufacturing

Dear <<Name>>,

I am writing to let you know of an opportunity to participate in a research study investigating performance measurement of manufacturing systems. The study involves a brief anonymous survey, expected to take approximately 15 minutes to answer a set of 13 questions. The survey is accessible online via the following link:

https://oregonstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/preview/SV_eIF3LmHNyXbUcjb

The purpose of the study is to identify potential barriers to achieving sustainable manufacturing and approaches to overcome the barriers considering system and process level issues, as well as metrics for supporting decision making. Your participation will help provide guidance for future research and industrial practice. The study is funded under an award to Oregon State University from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD.

If you would like additional information about this study, please contact the investigator, Dr. Karl Haapala, by phone at 541.737.3122 or email at karl.haapala@oregonstate.edu.

Thank you for considering this research opportunity.
