Rfid For Inventory Of Medical Records, Johny Wu
Rfid For Inventory Of Medical Records, Johny Wu
Biomedical Engineering
The purpose of this project is to explore the feasibility and economic viability of the implementation of a radio frequency identification (RFID) system in a large-scale, medical office setting. Practitioners in fields such as; medicine, chiropractic, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, allied health, and other care providers do not have a sufficient method for tracking filing forms. RFID has the potential to reduce wait time, improve checking-in time, and decrease the possibility of interchanging documents between patients.
The purpose of this RFID system is to improve upon the filing system already in place in any office setting. The major consideration behind this …
Lean Inventory Management System For Boeing Missile Defense, Danielle Partridge
Lean Inventory Management System For Boeing Missile Defense, Danielle Partridge
Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering
Lean inventory management is influential for business. One of the wastes businesses aim to reduce, using lean principles, is inventory. Inventory management provides the essential tools for eliminating extra inventory and cost that is tied up in capital.
Boeing’s Ground Based Missile Defense inventory area was failing at meeting their proprietary lean manufacturing goals. There was a need for an inventory system that included: lean principles, inventory management and user-friendly capability. The goal of this project’s inventory management database process was to minimize inventory investment while still meeting functional requirements. The deliverables for this project met the needs of Boeing’s …

Implementing Rfid To Improve Animal Shelter Inventory And Allocation, Adam Mach
Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering
The purpose of this project is to observe the best way to incorporate Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology into the animal inventory system present in animal shelters, while also observing the benefits of implementing this system. The Woods Humane Society was used in this project as a sample animal care facility that could benefit from this application.
Many RFID systems can be observed in other industries, but very few examples this technology exist in animal shelters or smaller animal care facilities. Part of the reason for that is because funds are scarce at most animal care facilities, like the Woods …
