Improving Global Supply Chain Management (Spring 2011) IPRO 306
Improving Global Supply Chain Management (Spring 2011) IPRO 306
IPRO 306 team is tasked with assisting a major plumbing manufacturer, Sloan Valve, in improving the global chain supply as well as the overall effectiveness and efficacy of their equipment and processes. Sloan Valve has three projects with IPRO 306 will be involved, and they range in three different fields of the manufacturer. The projects which IPRO 306 will be involved are: • Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) • Cost Matrix • Green Supply Chain The Cost matrix project group seeks to develop a tool that can capture and compare the different costs the company incurs when buying parts oversees vs. domestic. Sloan's idea is to start selling their products in other parts of the world at competitive price. Some of these markets are very competitive when it comes to price. So if Sloan buys materials domestically may not be able to offer competitive pricing worldwide. By creating a cost matrix tool, the company will be able to compare costs of raw material ordered abroad versus locally and wisely decide what the best choice to pursue is. The Second project is Overall Equipment Efficiency (herein after as OEE) which will be a continuation of last semester Lean Implementation project. OEE is designed to eliminate any downtime of a machine. Through a tracking process, OEE will help eliminate downtime and efficiently determine what is causing this down time. The goal of the project is to further make the OEE process more efficient in addition to creating and perfecting a tracking system which will be able to analyze and create reports from the data that will be input into the system. The third project is the Green Supply Chain. Currently, there is no industry standard for being “green.” The goal of this project is to establish a definition of “green,” and create a cost effective, consumer appealing, way to introduce this into the Sloan Valve supply chain. After defining “green,” team members will examine and create a strategy detailing ways in which Sloan Valve can implement green initiatives into the Sloan Valve supply chain. The purpose of this document is to give a detailed overview of the project, as it is currently defined through our meetings and charters provided by Sloan Valve. This document will provide critical information about the project involving the team and its assets, team goals, conflict resolutions and more. In addition it will also provide a brief background on Sloan Valve, along with a discussion of issues facing both the company and the IPRO team. A methodology of the project will be discussed as well as key deliverables and a work breakdown structure of the project., Sponsorship: SLOAN, Deliverables

Know IIT Ales (Semester Unknown) IPRO 321
Beer is one of the most consumed beverages in the world. The culture of brewing beer is one that continues to attract the attention of people from all walks of life. Beer can be differentiated one from another in terms of their color, alcohol content, smoothness, bitterness, type of ingredients used as well as the recipe used. In a very broad sense, however, beer can be broken up into lagers and ales. The main difference between lagers and ales is the kind of yeast used and the conditions under which the fermentation is carried out. In this project, an attempt will be made to produce a beer that is on the continuum between lagers and ales: the German Altbier. The Altbier has a unique combination of flavor, aroma, bitterness and smoothness. The central objective of this project is to take on the challenge of creating the Altbier. This will be accomplished by bringing together students from a broad range of academic backgrounds whose different skills sets will be applied to the task at hand., Deliverables

Synthetic Biology: Engineering a Novel Organism (semester?), IPRO 302
The basis for this Project is a growing body of work in recent years in the development of new organisms, primarily using Escherichia coli as a base. To the best of our knowledge, no work of this type has yet been attempted within IIT to date. Our work will be building on the body of knowledge generated from the work of others in this field, and has as its central aim to extend the work into specific results that have not yet been achieved within any institution. Past successes in this field have included the generation of bacteria which flash a certain color, behave as a two state oscillator, or create simple logic gate functions., Deliverables for IPRO 302: Synthetic Biology: Engineering a Novel Organism for the Fall 2004 semester

Conceptual Design and Planning for the Environment of Chicago Area Health Clinics by Access Community Health (Semester Unknown) IPRO 340
IPRO 340 is focused on the Conceptual Design and planning for Chicago Area health clinics by Access Community Health Network. The quality of health care today has definitely progressed over time and is continually progressing. As technology advances drive us into the 21st century new cures and medical practices are emerging, solving issues that could not be tackled before. But the problem of utilizing these cures and practices to serve the underinsured or financially challenged families is still an evident problem. Our IPRO will prepare the design related information for building a Health Care Center for the Future. This information consists of the legal regulations posed by JCAHO (Joint Commission of Accreditations for Healthcare Organizations), site visits and audits, and a program booklet for the design of the actual Facility. This information will be reinforced in process maps and research done on state of the art technology for healthcare centers and utilized in further developing the facility program and design. Our IPRO believes the facility should be designed to maximize efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of health care., Deliverables

Cottage and Area Physical Modeling for Enhancing a Classic Country Club (Semester Unknown) IPRO 320
The IPRO 320 team is tasked with assisting Olympia Fields Country Club in making 3D models of their cottages and designing a bridge. Modeling all 26 cottages will necessitate the accurate collection of data from the cottages at the site. This will require the team to first survey the site and collect field data including measurements and digital photographs. After the data is collected, modeling of the cottages will start using computer software. This will be put into a presentable format for the country club. Also a publication is to be made on the process used in the collection of field data. The designing of the new bridge will serve as a Capstone requirement working with Robinson Engineering. Achieving this objective will require information from the site as well as an understanding of regulations involved in constructing a bridge. The model of the bridge will be presented to the country club as a possibility for replacing the existing deteriorating bridge. This document will give an extensive overview of the IPRO project. It will provide information on team members, details of the project procedure, and goals and expectations of the project. Work ethics and how to resolve team issues will be discussed. Also a brief history on Olympia Fields Country Club will be given., Deliverables
Balancing Copyright and Access in Digital Collections
Balancing Copyright and Access in Digital Collections
This presentation discusses rights issues faced by archives when building digital collections. Copyright, at times, is given a low priority during digitization project planning. Yet. determining copyright status, articulating rights statements, and providing access while protecting rights holders can be complicated, time-consuming tasks. Investigating rights is especially daunting for archives, given their great amount of unpublished materials and orphan works. As a result, there is a strong temptation to “blanket” digital collections with restrictive access and use statements. This presentation suggests methods for identifying copyright status, determining suitability for web distribution, and choosing appropriate rights statements using sample items from UASC's Institute of Design Records, 1937-1955,
Double Jeopardy: Womersley, McDonald, and WADC TR 56-614
Double Jeopardy: Womersley, McDonald, and WADC TR 56-614
An Air Force technical report, known by two titles and closeted from public view not once but twice, was freed of restrictions via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by the staff of the Paul V. Galvin Library in 2015. This allowed the report to be scanned and posted online as part of Galvin's Contrails digital initiative. This presentation follows the history of the report and its importance in the field of hemodynamics. The report has been cited under one title at least 200 times, and under the other title at least 100 times, and continues to be cited under both titles to the present day. Theories are presented that explain the emergence of the two varying titles, the role of government restrictions on public availability of the report played in the continued inconsistency of citations, and the variation of the patterns of citations based on the type of publications in which the report was cited. In summation, this presentation will provide an anecdotal example of the damage inflicted on scientific research by arbitrary government restrictions on the availability of taxpayer funded research, illustrating the value of the successful FOIA request.
Legal Research Teaching Modules - Handout for Galvin Conference May 2016
Examples of the 12 modules the Law School Research Librarians teach. These legal research teaching modules are designed to provide point-of-need training by librarians in Legal Writing I classes. Instructors are offered a basic "menu" of lectures to choose from, or research librarians are prepared to tailor individual lectures to the needs of each instructor. This provides both the instructor and the research librarians the flexibility to schedule classes as they see fit, with the goal of reaching students at the ideal time with each lecture.
