Kansas Advanced Manufacturing – Summary of Findings
The Center for Economic Development and Business Research, W. Frank Barton School of
Business, Wichita State University was given the task of analyzing various industry clusters in
the state of Kansas. The objective in doing the analysis is to analyze historical employment
trends, identify strengths and weaknesses within the industry cluster, identify future
occupational needs of the cluster and identify employers’ perceptions of the current workforce
supply. Notable findings are listed below:
The Advanced Manufacturing cluster in Kansas comprised over 15 percent of all jobs in
the state in 2006.
Wages supplied to Advanced Manufacturing employees comprised over 19 percent of all
wages in the state of Kansas in 2006.
The average annual wage of a manufacturing employee in 2006 in the state of Kansas
was $43,197 – which is 8.1 percent above the average annual wage in the U.S.
Transportation Equipment Manufacturing is the largest industry within the Advanced
Manufacturing cluster with over 41,000 employees statewide.
Sedgwick County employed 28.5 percent of all manufacturing employees in 2006 with
over 50,000 employed.
By 2014, 49,500 employees will be needed in the various Advanced Manufacturing
industries.
In general, the Advanced Manufacturing cluster is strongest in the Northeastern, South
Central and Southeastern portions of the state of Kansas.
Kansas is rivaled in industry concentration compared to the U.S. by Iowa and Arkansas.
Arkansas and Iowa are both strongest in the food manufacturing industry, while Kansas
is strongest in the transportation manufacturing industry.
The Advanced Manufacturing cluster will need employees at all levels of education. The
most predominate occupations needed by 2014 include supervisors and managers,
engineers and technicians.
In general, Advanced Manufacturers felt that hiring qualified employees with the correct
skill sets had become more difficult compared to five years ago.

Kansas Advanced Manufacturing – Defined
Advanced Manufacturing refers to a variety of industries involved in the physical
transformation, production or development of a material into a new, tangible product. This
CLUSTER includes a variety of products from fertilizer to composite materials. The cluster is
defined by the North American Industrial Classification System as sectors 31-33.
Kansas’ Strengths
Transportation Equipment The transportation equipment sector employs more than any other sector in manufacturing,
41,045 individuals in 2006. This sector is composed of automobile and motor vehicle parts,
aerospace products and parts, and ships and boats. The largest employer in Kansas, Cessna
Aircraft Co., is included in the transportation equipment sector.
Food The food manufacturing sector is composed of industries whose primary purpose is to transform
agricultural and livestock products into a final good. Food manufacturing is the second largest
sector in manufacturing when measured by employment, with 30,804 employees in 2006. Two
of the largest employers in Kansas are Cargill Meat Solutions and Tyson Fresh Meats.
Key Locations The number of manufacturing employees is largest in Sedgwick County, Johnson County and
Wyandotte County, respectively. The highest average annual wage and the largest number of
manufacturing establishments are in Sedgwick County.
The top two growth sectors in
manufacturing from 2001 to
2006 in Kansas include
furniture and related product
manufacturing and primary
metal product manufacturing.
Each experienced more than
1,00o new employees over five
years.

What’s next for Advanced Manufacturing?
Advanced Manufacturing is an important industry of the Kansas economy. Advanced
manufacturing companies supplied 15.4 percent of all employees in the Kansas economy in
2006. Nationally, advanced manufacturing supplied 11.4 percent of all employees. The average
annual wage for all industries in the United States in 2006 was $39,965. The average annual
manufacturing wage in the state of Kansas in 2006 was $43,197.
Nationally, the manufacturing industry is expected to decrease in total employment from 2006
to 2016 by 10.6 percent. Manufacturing in Kansas is expected to increase from 2004 to 2014 by
an estimated 12.3 percent, or a 16,500 position increase. However, the total openings through
2014 are expected to surpass 49,500 positions due to employee turnover and retirement. One of
the largest challenges facing the industry is and will be the supply of qualified workers within
the manufacturing industry.
The occupations with the largest concentration of positions in manufacturing in 2004 included
team assemblers, slaughterers and meat packers, and first-line supervisors/managers of
production and operating workers. These positions do not, currently, require formal education
or certificate programs. These occupations instead require on-the-job training or work
experience in related occupations. As the baby boomers leave the workforce, it will not only be
difficult to find skilled employees, but also to train new employees in these non education-based
occupations.

5 Key Occupations
The Occupational Alignment used in this portion of the analysis is based on the Kansas Department of Labor’s Occupational Outlook and degree
completions obtained through the Kansas Board of Regents. An Index (in bold) was calculated based strictly on economic criteria. Equal weights
were given to four criteria including the Median Annual Wage, Base Year Employment (2004), Total Openings (2004 to 2014) and the Additional
Training Needed. Indices can range from 0 to 4. The larger the index value, the higher the economic impact the occupation has in Kansas.
Below are three charts listing various Advanced Manufacturing Occupations. The first table illustrates employment needs at all education levels.
The second table illustrates employment needs for bachelor degree holders. The third table illustrates employment needs for technical education,
certificate programs and associate degree holders. It is important to keep in mind that occupations were ranked based on the calculated index
mentioned above and the occupational openings DO NOT include current shortages.

Available Workforce as Perceived by Cluster Industry Leaders
The Docking Institute of Public Affairs interviewed leaders from advanced manufacturing
companies in the State of Kansas on May 12 and May 23, 2008, EXCLUDING any aerospace and
defense and motor vehicle companies, which will be featured in subsequent reports. Employers
with the largest workforces were targeted for interviewing. Twenty interviews were completed.
Interviews were designed to assess industry leaders’ perceptions of strengths and weaknesses of
their cluster’s workforce quality and supply in Kansas, types of training on basic and industry-
specific skills most needed among new hires, and anticipated growth in cluster workforce needs
over the next 10 to 15 years.

Definition of Terms
Cluster – refers to the concentration of employment within a given industry or industry sector
within a given region.
Industry Concentration – refers to the concentration of employment within a given
area relative to the United States. Industry Concentrations were calculated by dividing a given
area’s percentage of employment within a given industry, relative to all employees, by the
nation’s percentage of employment within a given industry, relative to all employees in the
nation. An industry concentration above one implies a strong or high potential industry
concentration within the given area; a low industry concentration implies a weak or low
potential industry concentration within the given area.
Educational Attainment – refers to the required level of education needed to obtain a
job in the respective occupational code.
Total Openings – refers to the total number of job openings from turnover and from
occupational growth in the respective occupational code.
Total Completers – refers to the expected number of instructional program completers
attributable to the respective occupation from 2004 to 2014. This analysis assumes a constant
annual rate of instructional program completers based 0n 2006 completer numbers obtained
through the Kansas Board of Regents.
Training Leakage – refers to the number of program completers that are not expected to
work in Kansas six-months after degree completion.
Total Number Needing to Be Trained – refers to the number of program
completers needed to fill all job openings from 2004 to 2014 in the respective occupation.
Additional Trained Workers Needed – is the difference between the Total Number
Needing to Be Trained and Total Completers.
