    • A benchmark study - How industrial engineering undergraduate programs are addressing healthcare needs 

      Mustaquim, Tasmia; Boudreaux, Paige; Nahmens, Isabelina; Harvey, Craig; Ikuma, Laura (Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)
      While healthcare in the U.S. has made great strides at improvement, the delivery system still needs major changes, as evidenced by increasing costs (4-10% per year) and ongoing problems with patient safety. Healthcare ...

    • A genetic algorithm for battery-based energy storage transportation using railway 

      Abdallah, Khaled S.; Taha, Raghda B. (Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)
      The use of renewable energy sources has increased significantly in the past few years. Due to the intermittent nature of the renewable energy sources, planning and distribution of this energy is considered a challenging ...

    • A variation of the network flow algorithm to optimize the diversity of project groups 

      Mauch, Holger (Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)
      Research has shown that the amount of diversity within project groups has an effect on how well groups perform. In particular, groups that are balanced with respect to gender, race, national origin, and social background ...

    • Application of group control charts for multiple parts manufacturing 

      Abdulaziz, Abdulaziz; Ribas, Clovis S.; Weheba, Gamal (Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)
      In many manufacturing processes, multiple identical parts are made in parallel during a single run. Different inspectors may inspect similar parts, and several assembly lines may produce similar products. These scenarios ...

    • Does corporate social responsibility affect corporate profit margins? 

      Arbogast, Gordon W.; Agrawal, Vikas (Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)
      Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is increasingly playing a major role in Corporate Business Strategy. Initially, many firms played "lip service" to CSR in trying to be compliant with a new initiative that perceived ...

    • Effects of design parameters on dimensional accuracy of parts made on a mini 3-axis CNC router 

      Radharamanan, R. (Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)
      Computer numerical control (CNC) is a very broad term that encompasses a variety of types of machines used in industrial automation - all with different sizes, shapes, and functions. But the easiest way to think about CNC ...

    • Evaluating the impact of student constructed four-bar mechanisms on achieving learning objectives in an Industrial Mechanisms course 

      Cress, Jacob A. (Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)
      A comparison of achieving learning outcomes for kinematic analysis is given between two semesters of an Industrial Mechanisms course. The variable introduced is an active learning based teaching method in the form of a ...

    • Examining airline ground operation incidents by airport size 

      Wheeler, Brooke; Gomez-Womack, Jahleel L.; White, David C. (Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2019-12)
      Evaluating ground operations incidents is a critical step for airlines from both a management and safety perspective. Analysis of incidents is useful in both safety management and in planning for training and recurrent ...
