In 2014, the students teams worked on 35 projects from 26 top global firms, averaged $12.8 million/per project savings over 3 years per company calculations. The total savings projected was $450 million.
New company sponsors included Emerson, Kostal North America (Capacity), Kostal Logistics, Mac Arthur Corporation, LLC., Precision Castparts, and SUNSET Produce.
Each 2 to 3 person project team was made up of graduate Engineering, MBA, and/or MSCM students. In addition to high-level corporate support, each team was advised by a College of Engineering and a Stephen M. Ross School of Business faculty member and overseen by a Tauber Institute Director. The projects officially began on-site in early May and continued for 14 weeks, through mid-August. Upon project completion, all teams returned to Ann Arbor to compete in the annual Spotlight! Team Project Showcase Scholarship Competition.
For over 20 years the Tauber Institute has worked with a multitude of companies. Below are our 2014 team project sponsors. Click on the sponsor to read a short description including the results of the 2014 team project.
