IE 2030 Models in IE Lecture 4 Process Flow Diagrams Your Logo Here Today: The Dark Side of I.E. Fads and Trends in I.E. Tool: Process Flow Diagrams
Large variety of products produced Many different item types (sku’s) in warehouse Ability to offer individual service Many majors, tracks, programs of study High volume production Large number of storage and retrieval operations Capacity to serve many diners Graduate many students per year Flexibility vs. Throughput
Innovations and Fads • Buffet, smorgasbord • Automated storage & retrieval systems\l (ASRS) • Certificate programs, tracks, electives • Flexible manufacturing systems • Lean manufacturing
Try to get the best of both worlds • Often based on new technology • Opportunity for I.E. -- how to use it • I.E. sees the whole system -- determines • where improvement is needed • Can be hard to ``see’’ what I.E. does
Learning organizations less technical slower, esp. at first higher implementation rate uses information from the front line workers builds consensus Suits on the floor technically advanced quicker, cheaper lower implementation rate, often sabotaged uses IE/OR technical expertise convinces manager or commanding officer Empower Control
FADS & TRENDS • Decision Support Systems • Decision Aids, Tools • Artificial Intelligence • Expert Systems • Neural Networks • The I.E. as teacher: red bead game • Some aspects of Total Quality Management (TQM)
IE 2030 Lecture 4 • The great popularity of simulation, especially animations • The I.E. as salesman!!!!
