1993 KSC Research and Technology Report
Industrial Engineering
Industrial Engineering at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) supports the development of advanced technologies for application in vehicle and payload ground processing. This effort is directed toward decreasing processing time and cost, improving operational efficiency and productivity, and improving personnel comfort and safety. Industrial engineering includes the application of statistical control methods, psychology and human factors, operations research techniques, and process modeling and simulation. The near-term focus of this discipline is Shuttle ground processing. The long-term focus will concentrate more on overall production and process improvement techniques, emphasizing the areas of operations research and process modeling.
