Using several methods, the team analyzed a large data set
to evaluate customer behavior and determine strategies for
increasing sales. Based on the analysis of customer buying
trends and behavior, the team created several targeted programs
to increase basket size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the goal of improving the Cut Tire Measurement Analysis System, the team
calculated automated measurements taken from a photo to determine how to precisely
and repetitively make such measurements. They used statistics to understand the
repeatability and standard error of the proposed process improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OTR (off-the-road) tire engineers would like to understand the distribution of frictional
energy across one individual, representative pitch of the tire\u2019s tread. While it is relatively
easy to obtain the simulations of the individual maneuvers comprising the duty-cycle
of an OTR application, it is difficult to visualize since the OTR tire is not axisymmetric.
The team developed a three-dimensional visualization for a single pitch of an OTR tire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Line 45 is a software development company that has developed a web application
called Bensis, which functions as an oil and natural gas asset management system.
Ahead of the public release of Bensis, the AMRE team built an integrated testing suite
to ensure that the application functions as intended and can be updated without
breaking existing functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schneider Electric, a Fortune Global 500 company, is a global specialist in energy
management. The AMRE team analyzed a database of client commodity usage
patterns and contract details to help Schneider better understand client behavior
when selecting energy suppliers. After analyzing the data, the team developed a
computational program that makes data-informed recommendations to match clients
with optimal suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holmes County, nestled in the rolling hills of Northeast Ohio, is nationally recognized
for its large Amish community, and draws a significant number of tourists from Ohio
and beyond. By studying the county\u2019s unique tourism product in detail, the team
provided analysis and quantified the economic impact of tourist-related activities and
businesses. The team demonstrated that tourism in Holmes County is a strong and
growing contributor to the economy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team analyzed community engagement (CE) programming at The College of Wooster.
The team framed how CE can be supported and assessed at Wooster and developed
a plan to implement an in-house community-based social justice summer internship
program modeled upon the Shepherd Higher Education Consortium on
Poverty Internship Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Northern Ohio is experiencing more frequent and intense storms. Local communities are
facing the challenges of extreme flooding and the burdens are not equally distributed. In a
partnership with the Department of Earth Sciences, this team established a data collection
and monitoring system to help the local communities manage excess stormwater runoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a partnership with Ashesi University in Ghana, the team mapped the agricultural
ecosystems in two regions of Ghana that have similar vegetation, but very different
agricultural output. Through a gap analysis, the data aided in identifying factors that
result in their different contributions to the national food production basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohio\u2019s 16th Congressional District is one of many diverse districts in the U.S. To
determine how constituents are represented by their Member of Congress, the team
conducted interviews to identify issues of interest within the district and summarized
the consistencies and disparities. The district is represented by Representative Anthony
Gonzalez, who was interviewed for the project. The team also created a workflow blueprint
that summarized their work to facilitate similar studies in other districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revenue from mandatory dog tag and kennel license sales is a significant source
of funding for the dog shelters, yet many dog owners or shelter operators are not
in compliance. The team researched the causes of the low compliance rates, made
recommendations to improve the licensing process, and created marketing plans for
both counties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
