The Dauch Center pioneers new approaches for manufacturing, supply chain and digital transformation. With a strong history of engaging with Indiana manufacturers and leading successful student projects, the center has made positive impacts for small and medium-sized enterprises. Recent projects have centered on import supply chain management, warehouse optimization, leveraging PowerBI, value stream mapping and electric vehicle workforce development.
Krenicki Center for Business Analytics & Machine Learning teams deliver actionable insights to companies who want their data analyzed to enhance decision-making processes. Faculty and high-level business analytics students work on a data-centric project. Past projects include collaborating with a national retailer to assess the impact of sales prediction accuracy when clustering sparse-demand products in various ways and working with a national consulting company to find which machine learning approaches perform the best at predicting demand for grocery items.
Many of today’s leading organizations attribute their success to a strategically managed global supply chain. GSCMI brings industry, students and faculty together to tackle the complexities of coordinating and collaborating within a global network of designers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, so companies attain a competitive advantage through carefully formulated strategies. In a recent partnership with QC Supply, a student team developed a system that calculates daily supply by product and location and also automatically highlights overstock and obsolete stock by location.
