Current activities related to manufacturing and logistics have a log and rich history in ISyE. From traditional origins in the 50s and 60s pertaining largely to materials handling and facilities design, both specialties have evolved to their present-day status as major influences in establishing the School's footprint in the context of modern supply chain systems analysis. Presently, nearly 25 faculty members teach and conduct research in manufacturing and/or logistics. For some, these concentrations are primary specializations, while for others, they represent exciting application domains that draw both faculty and students grounded in methodological expertise deriving from other School specialties such as optimization, stochastics, and statistics.
