Advanced Manufacturing Across the country, the manufacturing sector has grown considerably, often creating high paying jobs and boosting local and regional economies significantly. This session will look at trends and opportunities for collaboration among economic development stakeholders, federal agencies, and private companies. Attendees will learn about the NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership Program, as well as other programs aimed at building the manufacturing sector through technical assistance, training, and other services • Mark Troppe, Director of Strategic Partnerships and Program Development, NIST • Debra Franklin, Center for Innovation and Enterprise Engagement, Wichita State University • Tom Bugnitz, CEO, Manufacturer’s Edge

1. U.S. Advanced Manufacturing and Global Competitiveness
Revitalize Regional and State Economies

2. Advanced Manufacturing Landscape
• The days where cheap products rule are
behind us. Smart products – ones that
integrate physical production and software –
are primed to dominate international markets
in the 21st century.
• The ability to innovate and create smart
products of the future will replace cheap labor
as the most essential competitive advantage.

3. Investing in Manufacturing
Communities Partnership (IMCP)
• Accelerate the resurgence of manufacturing
• Create a competitive climate for communities to
attract manufacturing jobs and investment
• Communities devise comprehensive economic
development strategies that:
– Strengthen their competitive edge in attracting global
manufacturers and their supply chains as well as
– Improve support for existing manufacturing businesses
and workers

5. VISION: South Kansas Tactical
Investment in Advanced
Manufacturing Capabilities will
develop:
Advanced manufacturing research,
development, and demonstration
capacity to poise South Kansas to be a
global leader in advanced materials and
their commercialization.
MISSION: Grow the region’s economy,
leading to more jobs and a better quality
of life for our citizens.
Regional Collaboration Leads to Success
Competitive Regions Align Economic
Inputs with Industry Clusters

6. Among the 100 largest
metropolitan areas, the most
manufacturing-specialized
metropolitan area is Wichita,
where manufacturing’s share of
jobs was 2.10 times its
nationwide share.”
Primary Catalytic Public Investment
Research and Innovation:
• Advanced materials, prototyping, and automation.
• Industrial commons.
• Innovation district development.
Export and Trade Assistance:
• Broad regional participation in Global City Initiative.
• Execute Export Plan, develop a foreign direct investment
strategy and trade policy memorandum.
Workforce Development:
• R&D advanced materials manufacturing methods are
seamlessly incorporated into nationally distributed
workforce training models and credential development.
• Engage all stakeholders to educate and train workers
(cradle to grave) with employer driven skills and
competencies targeting underrepresented populations.

9. Research done at the
Industrial Performance
Center at MIT suggests that
the vigor and dynamism of
local economies depends on
the ability of local firms to
adapt to changing markets
and technologies by
continually introducing
commercially viable
products, services and
production processes – that
is, by innovating successfully.

10. Vision:
Wichita State University is internationally recognized as the model for applied
learning and research.
Mission:
The mission of Wichita State University is to be an essential educational,
cultural and economic driver for Kansas and the greater public good.
What is the Innovation Campus:
• Promote the startup of businesses based upon new ideas
• Support existing business growth in the region
• Grow a workforce for the future to serve both
Innovation District:
WSU Innovation Campus

11. Approximate Time for New Graduate to
Become Productive in an Industry Position
EstimatedTimeinMonths
In the current economic
climate, most companies
will tend to outsource this
work instead of investment
in new talent due to this
amount of time
We’re creating a new model to produce graduates with experience
Dependent on the
amount of time
engaged in
internship
(can be as short as
3 months)

12. Business Case
Labor Costs
• Students wages range from $10-15/hour
• Can be used for lower level engineering tasks
Beechcraft Case Study
• 80 students working at average of 26 hours per
week
• During the last three years, students performed
250,000 hours of work from CR Incorporation,
ENOVIA V6, King Air 3D Modeling, Mentor
Graphics, V4 to V5 transition, Special Missions,
Standard Parts, REACH program, etc.
• Upon graduation, placement rate for the students
is 96%
– 35% stayed with Beechcraft
– 83% stayed locally in Wichita

metropolitan areas, the most
manufacturing-specialized
metropolitan area is Wichita,
