We connect with fellow IEs while we toured one of MN's most well-known biomedical manufacturers. This tour featured discussions around applications of Industrial Engineering methodologies through process observation at Boston Scientific:

• Layout optimization through discussion around capacity planning and demand management

• Pacing boards and work station optimization

• Automation in Biomedical Manufacturing

Discussion from attendees to share their own best practices in these areas will be included in the tour.
