At the Expo, Team \u003Cstrong\u003EWrigley\u0026rsquo;s Lifesavers\u003C\/strong\u003E took home the ISyE Judges\u0026rsquo; Choice Award. Out of the 23 teams, three \u0026ndash; \u003Cstrong\u003EGTAA Gameday Flow\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EJanssen Plan\u003C\/strong\u003E, and \u003Cstrong\u003ECDC HIV Network\u003C\/strong\u003E \u0026ndash; were selected as finalists to compete in Best of Senior Design on Dec. 14. Senior Design team GTAA Gameday Flow was chosen as the first-place winner.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESenior Design Team GTAA Gameday Flow was tasked by the Georgia Tech Athletic Association (GTAA) to redesign game day operations to improve the fan experience at Bobby Dodd Stadium. The team created a new staffing plan at all entry gates, which will reduce average fan waiting time by 78 percent. The team delivered a concept design for a new concession stand in the southeast corridor that integrates the Tapingo mobile ordering platform. The new stand will pay for itself while simultaneously reducing the congestion in the lower east corridor by 64 percent. The team developed a business case for using Tapingo at all stadium concession stands. They additionally proposed a police offer placement plan on Northside Drive that can reduce average traffic commute time on this road by 73 percent. The recommendations will save fans 13,000 hours of wait time over a season.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Senior Design team designed a queuing strategy for the entry gates and concession stands, which involved converting multiple queues to a single queue that distributes to multiple servers. Fundamentally, a single queue (like at amusement parks) is faster than multiple queues (like at a grocery store). The team worked with the GTAA to implement a pilot of these queues during the October 29 Tech-Duke game at Gate 8 and one of the concession stands in the east concourse of the stadium. The team observed that there was a dramatic reduction in wait time in the queues, and so the GTAA plans to continue this queuing strategy and expand it to the rest of the stadium.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Georgia Tech Athletics is proud to be able to partner with such a great group of ISyE seniors,\u0026rdquo; said Doug Allvine (BSIE 92, MBA 11), Georgia Tech Assistant Athletic Director. \u0026ldquo;The Senior Design team\u0026rsquo;s ability to assess real game day processes and propose improvements and new ideas that could positively impact our football fan\/alumni experience is tremendously valuable.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETeam members included \u003Cstrong\u003EMurtaza Ali\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EJulia Bodea\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EJustin Hey\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EJamie Morsberger\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EJamison Porter\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EAditya Raghupathy\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EJennifer Sanders\u003C\/strong\u003E, and \u003Cstrong\u003EKristen Shiflett\u003C\/strong\u003E. They were advised by Associate Professor \u003Cstrong\u003ESteven Hackman\u003C\/strong\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESenior Design Team CDC HIV Network developed a model that estimates HIV spread over time through a community of injection drug users (IDU) during an outbreak and evaluates the effectiveness of three intervention strategies: syringe exchange programs (SEP), pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and antiretroviral therapy (ART). The interventions were compared by the number of HIV cases averted as a result of their implementation and by the cost per quality adjusted life year gained. Using data from the outbreak in Scott County, IN, SEP was the dominate strategy for most scenarios, although this depended to some extent on the number of days since the start of the outbreak and the budget. The lifetime treatment cost of each HIV case is $433,000, resulting in significant cost savings for each case averted. A user-friendly interface allows state health departments to understand the impact of these various interventions in order to improve HIV outbreak response in the future.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe team successfully presented their project to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Their work was recommended by team leads and is now being scheduled for discussion at the division-level senior leadership meeting, as well as the Center-level seminar. The CDC is planning to pilot the project pre-outbreak in selected state health departments, such as Kentucky and West Virginia, to advise them on how to prepare for an outbreak.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETeam members included \u003Cstrong\u003EBingyi Bao\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EAnmol Chhabria\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EMathew Martini\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003ESaeed Siddiqi\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EKatheryn Stephens\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EDavid Wang\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EYuanheng Wang\u003C\/strong\u003E, and \u003Cstrong\u003EYuyu Wang\u003C\/strong\u003E. They were advised by Virginia C. and Joseph C. Mello Chair and Professor \u003Cstrong\u003EPaul Griffin\u003C\/strong\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESenior Design Team Janssen Plan worked with client Janssen Pharmaceutica, a Johnson \u0026amp; Johnson company and global leader in the pharmaceutical industry. With a variety of experience and backgrounds, the team strived to embody their client\u0026rsquo;s motto: \u0026ldquo;There is so much work to be done \u0026hellip; patients are waiting.\u0026rdquo; Working with their client, the team used predictive analytics and machine learning in order to identify and understand elements that cause delays within the drug development process. Specifically, they focused their efforts on building a predictive model, evaluating lead indicators of delay, developing a dashboard design, and providing Janssen with data structure recommendations. Their proof of concept is a step in the right direction that enables Janssen to both increase the number of drugs they can develop internally and release drugs to patients sooner.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe project\u0026rsquo;s result will help Janssen predict drug development delay and expand the company\u0026rsquo;s R\u0026amp;D portfolio by using statistical analysis and machine learning, accompanied with comprehensive yet user-friendly dashboard visualization, which highlights the insight from the underlying analysis and model. The proof of concept improves Janssen\u0026rsquo;s ability to accurately anticipate upcoming delay from the R\u0026amp;D pipeline (86 percent accuracy in delay prediction). Janssen can better allocate resources to either minimize the delays or reallocate the resources for unavoidably delayed projects to a new trial or project.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETeam members included \u003Cstrong\u003ESiham Adous\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EMou Anzhi\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EAlex Berry\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EAi He\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003ENidhi Koshy\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EChristina Leamon\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003ELichen Jason Shen\u003C\/strong\u003E, and \u003Cstrong\u003EShen Wang\u003C\/strong\u003E.

In evaluating the current system, a bottleneck was identified in the bagging stage of production. The team worked to create an optimization tool with an AMPL back-end and an Excel\/VBA front-end, to minimize low-throughput bag combinations, thus increasing overall production for the entire system.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe solution resulted in an eight percent decrease in suboptimal bag combinations and a one percent increase in overall production of Lifesavers mints worldwide. Wrigley has since fully integrated the tool.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETeam members included \u003Cstrong\u003EColeman Alford\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EZachary Cote\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EYoung Jae Han\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EDongwoo Kim\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003ERobert Pagan\u003C\/strong\u003E, \u003Cstrong\u003EAbhi Malhotra\u003C\/strong\u003E, and \u003Cstrong\u003EFeifan Zheng\u003C\/strong\u003E.
