Flexibility vs. Throughput Large variety of products produced n Many different item types (sku’s) in warehouse n Ability to offer individual service n Many majors, tracks, programs of study n High volume production n Large number of storage and retrieval operations n Capacity to serve many diners n Graduate many students per year n

Innovations and Fads Buffet, smorgasbord n Automated storage & retrieval systemsl (ASRS) n Certificate programs, tracks, electives n Flexible manufacturing systems n

Try to get the best of both worlds n 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

Empower Control n n n Learning organizations less technical slower, esp. at first higher implementation rate uses information from the front line workers n n n Suits on the floor technically advanced quicker, cheaper lower implementation rate, often sabotaged uses IE/OR technical expertise

FADS & TRENDS n Decision Support Systems n Decision Aids, Tools n Artificial Intelligence n Expert Systems n Neural Networks n The I. E. as teacher: red bead game n Some aspects of Total Quality Management (TQM)

IE 2030 n The great popularity of simulation, especially animations n The I. E. as salesman!!!! Lecture 4
