The Edward P. Fitts Department of ISE was established in 1930 as the 16th industrial engineering program in the nation. The department focuses on five main specializations supported by state-of-the-art laboratories: (i) advanced manufacturing, (ii) health systems engineering, (iii) human systems engineering, (iv) production systems and logistics, and (v) systems analysis and optimization. The mission of the department is to support world-class education, research, and outreach in those five areas. Industry interaction and support is a key piece of the Department’s mission and one that is accomplished, in part, through its collaboration with IES.

Although systems engineering originally focused on manufacturing environments, over time, the purview of industrial and systems engineers has expanded to health care (Valdez, Brennan, and Ramly 2010). In last decade, systems engineering in health field is experiencing a bigger resurgence because some smart healthcare systems are really complex. The Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Engineering jointly make calls for the widespread application of systems engineering tools to improve the health care delivery system (Reid et al. 2005); the Biomedical-Healthcare Working Group in the INCOSE is also established to expand systems engineering in health; the concept health systems engineering is emerging that contains disciplines such as industrial engineering, systems engineering, human factors, operations research, informatics, health services and so on (Fowler et al. 2011). The Healthcare Systems Engineering Institute at Northeastern University studies hospital design, quality management and healthcare system optimization in systems engineering methods (Peck et al. 2014). Related research stresses the need for systems tools in healthcare (Khayal and Farid 2017; Kopach-Konrad et al. 2007).
