Ergonomics in healthcare explores how
human interact with patients, equipment,
facilities and environments. The intensity of
the personal interactions makes the
healthcare industry different from other
industries.
This presentation will showcase the breadth
of applications that industrial engineering
and ergonomic knowledge can impact. Dr.
Susan Hallbeck will discuss a series of her
healthcare and conventional ergonomic
research projects, such as:
• Redesign of hospital crash cart drawers
• Decision aid for assigning blood thinners
upon admission for hospital patients
• Comparison of surgical team stress
• Evaluation of a walk-behind lawn mower
• Comfort during automobile driving
• Usability of signage for wayfinding
Dr. Susan Hallbeck, PE, CPE is currently a
Senior Associate Consultant performing
research in the Center for the Science of
Healthcare Delivery at Mayo Clinic in
Rochester, MN. She is an IE Professor at the
University of Nebraska, Lincoln with a
courtesy appointment in Surgery at the
University of Nebraska Medical Center.

Did you know? The most recent US Department of Labor summary statistics indicate that nursing aides, orderlies and attendants, along with two other occupations (truck drivers and non-construction laborers), account for one out of five musculoskeletal disorders reported nationally in 2001. The American Nurses Association also reports that ergonomic injuries occur in nurses at a rate twice what is found in the general working population.

affiliated to our group. I am glad to report that
three board members participated in the regional
student conference in Iowa City. Tracey, Jeromy
and Bree gave the students a very powerful
presentation on the various roles performed by IEs.
This presentation was powerful because it was
based on personal professional experiences and
that resonated with the student participants.
Kelly Minchow, who is currently our director-at-
large, will take on the role of student chapter
liaison. As the point person for all student
chapters, Kelly will focus on re-establishing and
maintaining contact with all the student chapters in
the region. I encourage all the student chapters to
take this opportunity to work with our group.
I would also like to take this opportunity to invite
everyone to attend our upcoming events. On May
1st
, we will have a presentation on Human Factors
in Healthcare. Visit our website for information on
many other exciting events. We welcome your
feedback and you can reach us through our
website.

President’s Message
Once a quarter we get a chance to look back and
see how we are tracking with regards to our
commitments to our members. I am pleased to
report that we started the year on a good note and
we have big plans for another successful year.
Member Value
In order to create better value and enhance the
experience for our members, we will continue to
offer events that cover trending topics in the
industry and also facilitate networking. In March,
we held a networking event at Gluek’s in downtown
Minneapolis. Our members and guests had a chance
to network and also cheer on their favorite college
basketball teams. In April, we held a joint event with
the local American Society for Quality (ASQ) and the
Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME)
groups. This was our first joint event with other
Twin Cities groups in the last five years. The
participants were so delighted with this event that
we plan on organizing a similar event next year.
Value to IIE Students
At the beginning of the year we announced our
commitment to providing value to student chapters
Eric Situmbeko, IIE Twin Cities President.

Tracey, Bree and Jeromy share a total of 35 years
Industrial Engineering experience spanning all
industries (Transportation, Automotive, Healthcare
and Manufacturing). Topics of discussion included
how IEs contribute in different industries, formal and
informal continuing education, career development
and lessons learned.
Feedback from participants was extremely positive
including student Joshua Terrill who said,
“Participating in that discussion was one of the most
valuable pieces to my weekend and it was highly
suggested by all the Student Chapter Presidents that
there be a stronger IIE professionals presence at
future conferences.”
IIE Twin Cities already has an established relationship
with NDSU, including a recurring co-professional/
student event each fall, and is working to set up
something similar with other schools.
Thanks to all the students who participated. We hope
to see some of you at the March 2014 Regional
Student Conference at the South Dakota School of
Mines!

IIE Twin Cities Presents Change Management Workshop – The ‘Soft Stuff ’ is the Hard Stuff
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW: A lot of attention is paid to specific tools in Lean, Six Sigma and other improvement efforts. However, many
organizations still struggle with implementing what appear to be excellent ideas generated by their project teams or in realizing
sustainable results. Mastering the tools is not sufficient. To realize tangible results, leaders and team members must also understand
and manage the dynamics of change, resistance and resilience within their organizations. They must also lead by example. In other
words, the “soft stuff” is the hard stuff.
In this workshop, we’ll cover the concepts and skills for:
Aligning organizations around a vision for the new reality
Engaging the organization in creating the new reality
Communicating for successful change
Creating a culture that supports change
Identifying concrete ideas and tips to put them in to practice
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Learn key concepts and the history of change management. Discuss and share experiences and best practices
within the group. Receive key templates and exercises that can be used within your organization to manage the change process.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Managers, Supervisors, Quality, Engineers, Lean Champions, Project Managers and anyone involved with
leading improvement efforts.

agencies from all over the world. This is achieved by utilizing a combination of
checks and balances to ensure that the customer gets what they require and all
safety and regulatory compliance requirements are met. Examples include visual
management and standard work at point of use throughout the process flow, bar
code and picking triggers to ensure proper components, verification of testing
completed at another Rosemount facility or earlier in the flow, adding automation
during assembly for consistency and reduced process time, continually evaluating
procurement strategies and manufacturing layout for consistency.
Networking will follow at nearby Houlihan’s restaurant (530 Pond Promenade,
Chanhassen, MN). Hope to see you there!
A small non-profit food shelf in Eagan is seeking some IE expertise!
They serve the Eagan/Lakeville area by feeding about 1200 households a month.
