Welcome to the website of The H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. With nearly 60 tenure-track faculty, ISyE is able to support not only a broad spectrum of academic concentrations but, importantly, several that have achieved world-class rank.
Though the Stewart School functions as a single cohesive unit, some of our subdisciplines or academic specialties such as operations research, statistics, manufacturing and logistics, and various ones identified with the ACO Program, are so large and concentrated and so heavily represented, they could be legitimately viewed as academic departments in their own right.

Caring for Children in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
The Children's/ Georgia Tech team used human factors techniques and statistical tools to collect and analyze observational data for process re-design. They also conducted staff surveys to assess improvements in communication and care coordination, and analyzed customer satisfaction data to evaluate impact on patient experience. The study showed that the implementation of the new lean-focused, patient-centric rounding structure lead to increased timeliness and efficiency of rounds, improved staff and customer satisfaction, improved throughput, and reduced attending physician man-hours.
