Research Applications
Real-World Applications
Research in the Department of Industrial Engineering is distributed across four primary areas of applications.
- Health Systems
- Production and Manufacturing Systems
- Resilience and Security in Complex Networks
- Transportation and Logistics
Health Systems
Health systems are characterized by increasingly complex challenges to equitably delivering safe and effective care. The research projects serve a broad range of goals, including improving patient safety, efficiency, cost of care, and training and education.
Health Systems ResearchProduction and Manufacturing Systems
Designing effective systems also requires the inclusion of technology like additive manufacturing, autonomous material handling vehicles, and self-organizing conveyors for companies to retain a competitive advantage in the future.
Production Systems Research
Resilience and Security in Complex Networks
Clemson IE researchers are applying Operations Research and Human Factors and integrating across both domains to improve resilience and security for networks critical for society and also disrupt illicit networks that have significant socially detrimental impacts.
Resilience Networks ResearchTransportation and Logistics
Optimizing the movement of people and goods is a long-standing research area with new possibilities due to advances in transportation technologies and data analytics. Clemson IE focuses on enhancing the safety, efficiency, and equity of urban mobility services.
