To strengthen small manufacturing
for the defense industry
The Data Mine
The Knudsen Institute is sponsoring two projects in the upcoming 2023-2024 semesters at The Data Mine at Purdue University. One project will examine supply chain trends on industrial parts procurement in the automotive industry during supply chain disruptions. Students will be working on time series US import export data of automotive components and looking to describe and model this behavior. The other project will identify interchangeable and non-interchangeable manufacturing capacities for emerging EV production from conventional ICE production. In this project students will be working on identifying manufacturing capacities which can be utilized in both electric and non electric vehicle’s component manufacturing.
