June ISE: The DMAIC path to success
Manufacturing faces intense competition, driving a push to improve product quality, measure costs, streamline delivery and provide stellar customer service. The June ISE cover story features an analysis of a circuit board maker's production process using Six Sigma DMAIC principles and value stream mapping to reduce shipping delays and workforce expenses.
What's Your Story?
Isabella T. Sanders

Coming in July ISE
We explore two topics that call for industrial and systems engineering expertise. Hydroelectric power has the potential to supplement a clean energy grid but also creates challenges that need ISE solutions. And creating a supply chain to meet human needs of nutrition and healthcare relies on ISE process improvement tools. Also look for highlights of the IISE Annual Conference & Expo, including a "What's Your Story?" profile of Apple CEO Tim Cook from his Captains of Industry Forum.
Welcome aboard

IISE Poll: Let us know what you think


Why do you think it's important for organizations to foster a safety culture and what makes such a culture thrive?
 
  • A safety culture is important for keeping everyone safe. Many industrial & warehouse jobs have some danger, and care must be practiced & exercised to keep everyone safe. Safety training should begin their first day on the job. Management must ensure that safety is of the highest priority, including protecting the public from the company's products & services.
  • Organizations need to foster a safety culture to ensure employees feel safe going to work.
  • People are the most important and valuable resource of a company. A serious accident at work, not only removes people from work, but it also has an impact on the family and friends.
