Industrial engineers armed with clip boards and stop watches fanned out across shop room floors, measuring every machine's function to determine the most efficient way to raise productivity.3 In turn, the military readily adopted scientific management to help address the challenges of two world wars.4 Perhaps the epitome of this effort was the strategic bombing survey, a program to evaluate the efficiency of air attacks on Germany and Japan, which influenced the methods of military decision making for decades.5 By the height of the Cold War, analysts were applying a plethora of scientific measures from statistical analysis to computer modeling.6 No thinker exemplified the effort to take a multi-disciplinary approach to national security analysis more seriously than Albert Wohlstetter. ...

Today's quality management processes entail the combination of the practices of traditional industrial engineering and the teachings of total quality management (TQM). Although both aim to optimize effectiveness and efficiency, traditional industrial engineering focuses on a microscopic view of the work environment while TQM adopts a macroscopic view. A mix of the two practices, however, ensures a symbiotic partnership where total macro efficiencies are supported by micro tools and analysis.

In January 2008, the University of Toledo Medical Center (UTMC) in northwest Ohio collaborated with the University of Toledo's Industrial Engineering Department to analyze and improve the pre-operational processes for patients undergoing kidney transplants. Six Sigma was applied to the project, and the following goals were established: 1. Optimize cycle times. 2. Enhance customer satisfaction. 3. Improve efficiencies. 4. Reduce costs. 5. Streamline administrative processes. 6. Eliminate errors. 7. Improve protocol execution and effectiveness. The UTMC Six Sigma project team was composed of two surgeons, three transplant coordinators/registered nurses, a psychologist, a financial advisor and two industrial engineers. The team adapted a plan from Improving Healthcare Quality and Cost With...
