Dear Colleagues,

As a conference chair of the Engineering Lean & Six Sigma (ELSS) Conference 2013 presented by the Institute of Industrial Engineers, I would like to invite you to submit abstract(s) sharing your research with an audience of industrial, management, manufacturing and quality engineers as well as operational and supply chain managers. Please encourage your students to do the same. The conference will be held at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia hotel in Atlanta on September 23-25, 2013.

Lean and Six Sigma have their roots in industrial engineering. Lean tools are traditionally developed by industrial engineers to improve productivity and eliminate wastes while Six Sigma tools are originally used by engineering to improve quality, reliability and defect level of products and services. Many problem solving tools used in Six Sigma and lean are also basic IE tools: 5S, theory of constraints, structured brainstorming, cause-and-effect, process mapping, preventive control and error proofing. We want you to share your research ideas and best practices with our participants.

ELSS 2013 will be packed with various activities including keynote presentations, panel discussions, interactive forums, concurrent industry & research presentations, facility tours, and activities for students. All papers will be peer-reviewed, and the accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Track specific best paper will be selected and announced in the conference. Don’t miss this opportunity to present your lean and Six Sigma research and ideas. Go to www.iienet.org/leansixsigma<http://www.iienet.org/leansixsigma> for the latest updates.
