• Tesla acquired a German manufacturing engineering company called Grohmann Engineering.
• Faraday Future seems to be imploding.
• Dyson wants to double its engineering staff by 2020, and is starting a free university to train their own workforce.

Maintenance, Repair & Operations.

• A single gene from a bull born in 1962 resulted in $420MM in losses across the dairy industry.

Distribution & Logistics.

• Great circle routes might be the shortest routes possible, but detouring into the jet stream can be more efficient.
