Modular And Deployable Solution For Passing Hazardous Roads, Nicholas Short Apr 2022

Modular And Deployable Solution For Passing Hazardous Roads, Nicholas Short

LMU/LLS Theses and Dissertations

The developing world often relies on low-water crossings on unpaved roads in place of bridges for vehicle river crossings and impoverished communities suffer disproportionately more from road shut-downs. This project defines a modular and deployable bridge solution to combat low-water crossing hazards in undeveloped road systems in year-round conditions using Systems Engineering and related methodologies to architect the solution.


Comparison Of Lean Healthcare Systems Engineering Process (Lhse) For Healthcare Improvement Projects With Earlier Improvement Initiatives, Bohdan W. Oppenheim, Michael H. Kanter, Aleksander Buczacki Jan 2022

Comparison Of Lean Healthcare Systems Engineering Process (Lhse) For Healthcare Improvement Projects With Earlier Improvement Initiatives, Bohdan W. Oppenheim, Michael H. Kanter, Aleksander Buczacki

Systems Engineering Faculty Works

A new process called Lean Healthcare Systems Engineering (LHSE) recently invented for improving healthcare workflows and designing new care is reviewed and compared to previous quality initiatives: PDSA, TQM, Six Sigma, Lean, Theory of Constraints, and several others. LHSE is applicable to workflow improvement or new care design projects in clinical environments, including hospitals, operating suites, emergency departments, clinics, imaging and clinical laboratories, pharmacies, population health, and telemedicine. LHSE integrates the strengths of Lean Six Sigma and Systems Engineering (SE). Lean’s overarching philosophy of “do what is necessary to deliver the value and reject everything else as waste” governed the …


A Systems Approach To Increasing Lmu Undergraduate Gym Attendance, Timothy O’Rourke Jan 2022

A Systems Approach To Increasing Lmu Undergraduate Gym Attendance, Timothy O’Rourke

LMU/LLS Theses and Dissertations

Due to lack of motivation, education, and free time, the Burns Recreation Center sees only 20% of LMU undergraduate students daily during academic terms. It’s no secret that gym attendance is beneficial for your health. Getting enough physical activity is important for quality of life. The problem we’re seeing is not enough gym attendance by LMU undergraduate students. The school gym sees only 20% of undergraduate students daily and 40% of undergraduate students never visit the school gym! The proposed solution to address this problem is a community specific mobile app that is designed to motivate, educate, and inspire students …
