Lecture Abstract:
"Advanced Sensoring and Academia”
Advanced sensoring technologies are having dramatic impact on the market place
from manufacturing to warehousing to retail. With the rapid advances of such
technologies, it is reasonable to examine the future impact academia could have
on affecting this inevitable change. In this presentation, we will discuss the
engineering curricula and examine opportunities for strategic enhancements that
will support industry of tomorrow. |

Dr. Eli Goldratt
Dr. Goldratt, founder of the Avraham Y. Goldratt Institute,
is an internationally recognized leader in the development of new
business management philosophies and systems. He has become a sought-after
educator by many of the world’s largest corporations, including
General Motors, Procter & Gamble, AT&T, NV Philips and
Boeing.
He is the author of a number of books including The Goal, an underground
best seller that utilizes a non-traditional approach to convey
important business information--it is a business textbook written
in novel form, disguised as a love story. The ideas illustrated
in The Goal underscore Dr. Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints,
an overall framework for helping businesses determine:
- What to change – not everything is broken
- What to change to – what are the simple, practical
solutions
- How to cause the change – overcoming the inherent
resistance to change.
In addition, he has written several other books; It's Not Luck,
Critical Chain, The Race, What is This Thing Called TOC?, and The
Haystack Syndrome. He is a frequent contributor to scientific journals,
magazines and business publications and sits on several editorial
boards.
Dr. Goldratt obtained his Bachelor of Science degree from Tel
Aviv University and his Masters of Science, and Doctorate of Philosophy
form Bar-Ilan University. In addition to his pioneering work in
business Management and education, he holds patents in a number
of areas ranging from medical devices to drip irrigation to temperature
sensors.
Also the founder of TOC for Education, a non-profit organization
dedicated to bringing TOC ideals to teachers, Dr. Goldratt is now
retired from the Goldratt Institutes. He currently spends his time
writing, lecturing and consulting as well as traveling, thinking
and being as provocative as ever.
Dr. Goldratt’s latest work: Viable Vision has taken the Theory of Constraints
practices to new heights. The Viable Vision Offer serves as an effective platform
to improve business productivity in Production, Supply Chain & Distribution,
Project Management and Retail.
