The team focused on improving process flow, communication, and visibility throughout the center. Deliverables consist of a simulation with a user interface, a real-time visibility tool, and a list of recommendations and policy changes, several of which were implemented.

Currently, there is no standardized screening procedure to differentiate between infectious and non-infectious encephalitis. In this project, they developed two decision-support tools:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E1.

Their project focused on redesigning Interface\u0026#39;s warehousing systems and strategies in order to reduce the excessive pick and stage cycle times, lost inventory, and high inventory levels. They developed a four-step solution to address all of these issues, including investments in more advanced Warehouse Management System software, reevaluation and reduction of inventory levels, racking and forklift upgrades, and internal process improvements. Their solution will save Interface an estimated $1.6 million annually, with an estimated 30% ten-year internal rate of return.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe \u003Cstrong\u003EUPS Senior Design\u003C\/strong\u003E team placed as a finalist in the Fall 2014 Senior Design Competition for their project.
