Manufacturing & Logistics Cluster
Manufacturing and Logistics, the creation of and movement of
products from inception to the consumer does indeed 'propel the pipeline of
commerce' both nationally and globally!
This cluster is comprised of employers ranging from 12 employees to several
hundred; from metal fabrication, plastics, food and chemical to national and
regional distribution hubs for food products. It is the largest and most
comprehensive of the three clusters. Formerly separate clusters, Logistics
and Manufacturing were merged in 2004 to complement the definition and
significance of supply chain management.
At the secondary education level, this cluster
supports the MERIT (Manufacturing, Engineering, Robotics and
Industry Technology) program at Danville High School along with the
Project Lead the Way pre-engineering curriculum. At the county
secondary level, the cluster supports NIMS certification. At the
post-secondary level they provide scholarships for NIMS training,
Manufacturing Technology and Engineering degrees.
Hiring projections from this group indicate that
from January 2009 to January 2011, the following positions will be
in demand: Machine Operators, Warehouse Selectors/Stockers/Loaders/
Packagers/Handlers, Fork Lift Operators, Truck Drivers/CDL,
