Additive (3D) printers and how the availability of additive (3D) printers could affect logistics operations. You could provide forecasted changes in a number of logistics functions.
HINT after a few terms of this topic. Do not just have a series of quotes from (important) people saying how great additive printing is. Yes, no doubt there will be advantages. But do NOT forget the other side of the coin - the additive printers will need a logistics/supply/support chain themselves (e.g., the printer, unique maintenance; technical database for the software needed to fabricate the items; the additive material or materials). Storage and inventory should be included.
Additionally, data and an impact analysis using ANOVA must be included. Address the changing landscape of the manufacturing and automotive industries using 3d/additive printing.
Empirical data MUST be used, properly cited, and documented. A logistics regression model to forecast probabilities should be included as well as graphs, charts and the models previously stated.
