ENGR 280/480 – Projects in Engineering
Fall 2011
WhiteWave Foods Company Projects
The WhiteWave Foods Company produces and bottles numerous brand name dairy, creamer, and juice products for worldwide distribution. The WhiteWave plant in Mt. Crawford, VA, is one of the largest production facilities in the country for such products.
WhiteWave is currently seeking JMU engineering students to work alongside its plant technicians and personnel to identify causes of production inefficiencies and suggest solutions to improve manufacturing processes. This work would be undertaken for two (2) elective academic credits in the ENGR 280/480 project course.
This is an exceptional opportunity for engineering students to experience a production facility, work beside practicing engineers and technicians, and practice engineering design and problem solving skills. In addition to strengthening your resume through industry practice, participation may potentially lead to internship and/or employment opportunities.
Students interested in participating in this ENGR 280/480 course should contact Dr. Keith Holland (hollansk@jmu.edu) for additional information regarding the course and course registration.
*Note that this project will require students to make regular (weekly) visits to the WhiteWave Foods plant in Mt. Crawford, VA, an approximately 15 minute drive from the JMU campus. Students will be expected to arrange their own transportation to/from the plant.

Demand forecasting is the process of analyzing customer demand and determining the number of units required to maintain sufficient supply without shortage or overstock. This may affect distribution and truckload (ltl) shipment.
