If you aren’t already familiar with the annual IIE
National Awards, you might consider taking a
moment to browse the page and see if there are
IIE heroes that you would like to nominate
(http://www.iienet2.org/Details.aspx?id=592). We
would be more than happy to help submit the
nomination!
Finally, as always, I would like to thank the many
IIE Board members from all levels of the
organization who continue to volunteer their time
to support, promote and grow this organization so
that we may all benefit. Perhaps this inspires you
to consider joining us in the crusade? How
fortunate that this time of year also brings a 2016
IIE Twin Cities Board of Directors Call for
Nominations. If you have any questions on
whether this might be a good fit for you (or
someone you know), please do not hesitate to
reach out.
Cheers to embracing our inner IE, the change that
is all around us and that inevitable nip in the air!

Jeromy Knapp, the 2015 IIE Twin Cities President-Elect, took the opportunity to participate in the
National Conference held in Nashville, TN this year. Along with representing IIE Twin Cities, Jeromy
was also there in support of a local lean partner, Didier Rabino. For several years now IIE Twin
Cities has been the beneficiary of a fantastic partnership with Didier Rabino. Didier has presented
workshops that serve as fundraisers for the group as well as influenced several members of IIE
Twin Cities Board of Directors as an instructor, coworker, mentor and friend. For this reason, he
was nominated and received an Honorary IIE Member Award at the National IIE conference.
The IIE Region leadership team was represented by Mayo Clinic’s Tarun Mohan Lal and Thomas
Roh. Tarun is the Regional VP and he gave a presentation on Human Systems: Healthcare and
Sustainability - “Implementation of Human Factor Analysis and Classification System for
Understanding Never Events.” Thomas is our Assistant Regional VP and he gave a presentation on
Patient Safety – “A Systems Approach to Improving Patient Access to Mental Health Resources.”
IIE Twin Cities was awarded Professional Gold Chapter, yet again. This is always a chapter goal and
with only five other chapters receiving this award in the country, everyone involved deserves
congratulations.
One of the highlight for many was the topic of potential name change for the organization. The
proposal is to change the name from Institute of Industrial Engineers to Institute of Industrial and
Systems Engineers. This will be coming to a vote in December this year. The question will be in the
2015 ballot for the IIE Officers Election. Polls will open Dec. 10th
, 2015, and close Jan. 15th
, 2016.
The vote is restricted to IIE professional members, but IIE student members are encouraged to
participate in discussions.
If you are ever curious as to what there is to be involved in or experience at the National
Convention, please feel free to reach out to your local IIE Twin Cities Board of Directors!

After the tour, the volunteer portion of the event started. The task for the volunteers was to work an assembly line to fill food boxes for
the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). Second Harvest Heartland provides a box of nutritious food each month to low-
income seniors 60 years and over through the Nutrition Assistance Program for Seniors (NAPS).
The assembly line consisted of Work Stations that started with making a box from a flat folded box, adding an item of food at each of 13
work stations, placing a sheet listing the contents into the box, and palletizing the completed boxes. The attendees quickly realized that
this was a perfect task for a bunch of IEs! We noticed various improvements that we were making as time went on - making the pick area
more ergonomic by stacking boxes; learning the job of the workstation both up and downstream in order to help out if the worker at the
other workstation was re-stocking their supplies.
The results at the end of the 2 hour assembly line shift were: 9 pallets /450 boxes of food packed.
This equates to 13,050 pounds of food or 10,875 meals! Great job to the IIE and other volunteers! 7

IIE’s student outreach activity is called “Brilliant Bracelets” and provides education on
process improvement principles such as brainstorming, spaghetti diagrams, layout design,
and visual standard work through a hands-on activity where “bracelet factories” produce
Brilliant Bracelets for picky customers. The girls work in teams to develop ideas for
improvement and implement their future state in order to produce bracelets more quickly
and with higher quality.
Participants and volunteers agreed that this year’s event was fantastic! Over 125 girls and 50
volunteers came together to participate in 4 activities total. Everything went smoothly,
everyone had a lot of fun and Normandale has shown interest in hosting future events.
A big thank you goes out to our volunteers who generously donated their time and allowed
us to contribute two separate activity rooms running the Brilliant Bracelets activity: Kelly
Minchow, Jeromy Knapp, Tracey Bauer, Michael Lubke, Raymond Zhang, Janelle Ross,
Madeline Flandrick and Britta Rowan. Please contact Britta Rowan ([email protected])
if you would like to be notified the next time there is an opportunity to volunteer at a
Brilliant Bracelets event.
Past Event Recap
Second Harvest Heartland Tour & Volunteer Event, June 2015
On June 23rd
, IIE Twin Cities had a tour and volunteer event at Second Harvest Heartland’s
Maplewood facility. Before the volunteer portion, the attendees received a brief tour of
the distribution warehouse. The distribution warehouse is where donated food is
received. There are approximately 60 warehouse workers on 2 shifts and there are 30
trucks owned by Second Harvest Heartland for use in pickup and delivery of the food.
On April 11, IIE volunteered to provide an Industrial Engineering-themed experiment during SWE
Minnesota’s Annual WOW! That’s Engineering event, held at Normandale Community College in
Bloomington. WOW! That’s Engineering is designed to provide young girls with early exposure to
science and engineering concepts.
