Enabling process improvements through systems thinking
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Manufacturing organizations around the world strive to improve processes with varying degrees of realization. There is no right way or latest and greatest process that can guarantee success, therefore the approach, and not ... -
Enabling process improvements through visual performance indicators
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Most modern production processes automatically generate volumes of rich data, including equipment states, material presentations, labor content, and quality non- conformances. Unfortunately, much of this data is either ... -
Enabling sample tracking in and reducing variability in DNA library construction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The Broad Institute is a world leader in genomic sequencing. The Institute gained prominence during the Human Genome Project and has continued to be the nation's leading public laboratory for genomic sequencing projects. ... -
Enabling scalable multicolor connectomics through expansion microscopy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Decades of work in computational power and high resolution imaging have made it possible to observe specific neurons and their connections at a microscopic level. This level of resolution is known as the connectomic level. ... -
Enabling strategic fulfillment : a decision support tool for fulfillment network optimization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Dell's Third-Party (3P) Product network uses several different order fulfillment methods, though the determination of which products are fulfilled under which method is not clearly delineated. We have developed a tool to ... -
Enabling streamlined life cycle assessment : materials-classification derived structured underspecification
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)As environmental footprint considerations for companies gain greater importance, the need for quantitative impact assessment tools such as life cycle assessment (LCA) has become a higher priority. Currently, the cost and ... -
Enabling supply chain cooperation with information sharing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Virtual Business System (VBS) is a system with software and hardware components designed by Raytheon employees to improve operational performance by facilitating and reinforcing lean behavior. It has helped contribute to ... -
Enabling supportive communications in decentralized multi-agent teams
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Supportive communication is an eective collaboration behavior identied in human teams in which team members share information proactively to improve overall team performance. Prior work formulated this objective as the ... -
Enabling systems thinking to accelerate the development of senior systems engineers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)As engineering systems become more complex, the roles involved in developing and managing such systems also become more complex. Thus, there is increasing interest in educating and training engineering professionals to ... -
