I S y E STEWART SCHOOL OF BULLETIN ALUMNI NEWS Reality IE Meet three of our alumni as they comment on how they use their industrial engineering skills in their current positions. Doug Chipman, IE 1996 Georgia-Pacific Director, Napkin Category Food Services Solutions Atlanta, Georgia “ My industrial engineering experience at Tech taught me a great deal about problem solving. In my current position at Georgia-Pacific, I face issues involving manufacturing, logistics, pricing, and R&D on a daily basis. The skills that I learned in the industrial engineering program enable me to break down these problems, analyze their components, and find practical solutions.” Nicole Stout, IE 2003 Justin C. Honaman, IE 1996 Starwood Vacation Ownership Coca-Cola Customer Business Solutions Manager of Product and Service Director, Customer Intelligence Alignment Singer/Songwriter Orlando, Florida Author Atlanta, Georgia “ In my current role at Starwood “ Whether in my role as director of Vacation Ownership, I am responsible customer intelligence at Coca-Cola for the project management or as a singer/songwriter and author, of process improvements, I use my industrial engineering skills communications strategies, Six Sigma anytime I am breaking down large efforts, and various new product/ business challenges into manageable service initiatives. Operations, improvement initiatives; managing whether in a manufacturing plant or teams, projects, and programs; and an office, are full of processes and working with stakeholders from all systems that constantly need review sides of business. ” and improvements. Despite knowing this, I never would have guessed that my industrial and systems engineering degree would land me in roles within theme parks, resorts, and call centers, and that I would still be able to apply the methodologies I learned at Tech. A professor once told me that it wasn’t necessarily the exact material we were learning, but a way of thinking—I didn’t understand it then, but he was right on target. ” 32 • Industrial and Systems Engineering
EMIL Expands Name to EMIL-SCS In the fall of 2009, the Executive Masters in International Logistics—through the support and guidance of its advisory board, alumni, and staff— elected to expand its name to the Executive Masters in International Logistics & Supply Chain Strategy (EMIL-SCS). This expanded name more appropriately and accurately reflects the comprehensive education provided by EMIL-SCS to senior executives working within the many principles of supply chain management. For more than ten years EMIL-SCS, through the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, has provided an extensive curriculum focused on international logistics, business management, and supply chain strategy. By adding supply chain strategy to the program name we are more clearly representing the core teaching of EMIL-SCS and differentiating the program in the eyes and minds of the experienced supply chain professional. The EMIL-SCS program is a unique eighteen-month master’s program designed to fit the busy work schedules of executives, allowing the company to keep key employees on the job while they participate in five two-week residences. The academic curriculum is designed to cover the extended supply chain and regional differences across Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the United States. EMIL-SCS provides participants with the analytical skills and intellectual framework needed to succeed in designing and implementing creative supply chain strategies and global logistics solutions necessary to compete in today’s global markets. The EMIL-SCS program is offered through the number one nationally ranked industrial and systems engineering school at Georgia Tech.
