What is SIE?

Have you ever wondered:

• How are, say, the inventories of goods kept in balance at supermarkets and large stores? How are those goods delivered on time?
• How are computers and automobiles manufactured with quality and at competitive prices?
• How are 1-800 and calling-card calls handled and routed automatically through the telephone network?
• How are thousands of airplanes and millions of travelers scheduled and managed efficiently on a daily basis?

These are just a few scenarios where Systems and Industrial Engineers play important and challenging roles.
