What types of projects do Management Engineers work on?
Management engineering uses a very participative approach in its projects. The ME department works on a wide variety of projects that can be classified into two major categories: quality improvement and management support. Quality improvement projects focus on improving processes and systems by evaluating the current system, determining root causes of problems, and developing recommendations for improvement. These projects can include: • Work flow design • Scheduling of staff / patients • Organizational structure • Workload management\ • Inter-departmental coordination • Work methods and procedures • Defining workplace needs and designing physical workplace layouts Management support projects focus on improving decision making, problem solving, or planning.
