Summary:[...]ISE research and teaching tends to approach design as an exercise in generating and evaluating alternatives, without much guidance for how those alternatives are generated. [...]in a future when so many routine analyses can be created automatically, systems modeling may be more important in the curriculum than analysis modeling. [...]tool vendors must produce a new generation of modeling and analysis tools for practitioners. At Georgia Tech, McGinnis has held leadership positions in a number of industry-focused centers and multidisciplinary programs, including the Material Handling Research Center, the Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems Program, the Sustainable Design and Manufacturing Program and the Tennenbaum Institute for Enterprise Transformation.
