A Lean Enterprise Systems Approach to Health Care Transformation
Deborah Nightingale
Professor of the Practice of Aeronautics and Astronautics and
Engineering Systems and
Co-Director, Lean Advancement Initiative
Noon–1:30 pm
E51-145
The health care system is highly fragmented and increasingly
technology-based. For over 15 years MIT’s Lean Advancement Initiative
(LAI) has been working to transform aerospace and defense enterprises
in both industry and government. These same methods are now being
applied to complex health care systems. This talk will address recent
research related to hospitals, the Veteran’s Administration and new
drug development.
Bring brown bag lunch; light refreshments provided.

An Engineering Systems Approach to Pandemic Flu
Richard Larson, Mitsui Professor of Engineering Systems and Civil &
Environmental Engineering and Director, Center for Engineering Systems
Fundamentals
In this talk, Prof. Larson will discuss an eng. systems project in its
3rd year, the modeling and analysis of pandemic influenza. The
approach combines mathematical modeling associated with operations
research with approaches from social science and management sciences,
and suggests strategies to control the spread of the disease. Recent
H1N1 developments have provided new data sources and new questions to
be analyzed.

Climate Change Challenges in Developing Countries: Low Carbon Economic
Development Options for Indonesia
Dr. Gary Kleiman, Senior Environmental Policy Analyst, World Bank
Office, Jakarta
The Government of Indonesia recognizes that climate change is a key
economic development issue, and also that early action to address
mitigation and adaptation concerns will be strategically beneficial.
Indonesia is studying options to address climate change mitigation
without compromising development objectives. This talk will review the
overarching goals of the study and present early findings across
several sectors.
