papers in the field of lean research and practices. The papers should
demonstrate or describe the use of techniques such as simulation, lean

Both undergraduate and graduate students and design teams are invited to
submit papers. The award will be given each year at the IIE Annual

Three awards may be given upon recommendation of the selection committee.
The winners must present their papers in the ISERC Lean Systems Track at the

will not be announced on Sunday. Their names will be announced either Monday
