About the Doyle Center

Located in Pittsburgh, the Doyle Center is a federally funded, non-profit organization that grew out of a research-based program known as the Technology Insertion Demonstration & Evaluation (TIDE) at Carnegie Mellon University.

Using TIDE research as a foundation, the Doyle Center developed the tools, processes and expertise that are the most effective way to orchestrate supply chains. This model is called Network Centric Manufacturing.

Since it’s founding in 2003, the Doyle Center has continued to refine and improve supply chain management methodology to ensure that clients have the most flexible and comprehensive solutions possible.

The Doyle Center orchestrates supply chains as an impartial third party. This allows the Doyle Center to operate with every client’s best interests in mind and ensure that proprietary information stays secure.

The Network Centric Manufacturing model that the Doyle Center has pioneered is able to meet the needs of prime manufacturers and government agencies, while opening up new opportunities for U.S.-based small- and medium-sized manufacturers.

If you want to take part in this unique opportunity poised to revitalize U.S. manufacturing, contact the Doyle Center.
