POSTER DESCRIPTION SHEET
Title: Designing Enterprise Decisions Using Engineering Methods
Author(s): Victor Tang; Professor Warren P. Seering, advisor
Summary
Description: Enterprise decisions can be designed and optimized using engineering methods, particularly, design of experiments (DOE)
Key Points: 1) Effective decisions are the result of good design.
2) Engineering methods can be used for design of enterprise decisions. 3) Enterprise decisions exhibit similar dynamics as complex
engineering systems.
Linkage with
Research: Effective decisions are a means to reduce waste, which is at the core of lean initiatives.
