N1 - Funding Information: John W. Fowler is the Avnet Professor of Supply Networks and a Professor of Industrial Engineering in the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering at Arizona State University. He currently serves as the Program Chair of Industrial Engineering. Professor Fowler’s research interests include modeling, analysis, and control of manufacturing and service systems. His research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, Semiconductor Research Corp., International SEMATECH, Advanced Micro Devices, Amkor, Asyst, IBM, Intel, Infineon Technologies, Motorola, National Semiconductor, ST Microelectronics, and the Mayo Clinic. Dr. Fowler is an author or co-author of over 75 journal publications, 100 conference papers, and 10 book chapters. He is the founding Editor of the new journal IIE Transactions on Healthcare Systems Engineering. He is also an Area Editor for SIMULATION: Transactions of the Society for Modeling and Simulation International and for Computers and Industrial Engineering, an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing, and is on the Editorial Board for the Journal of Simulation. He was a co-Program Chair for the 2002 and 2008 Industrial Engineering Research Conferences and the Program Chair for the 2008 Winter Simulation Conference. Professor Fowler is a Fellow of the Institute of Industrial Engineers, recently was the INFORMS Vice President for Chapters/Fora, and currently serves on the Winter Simulation Conference Board of Directors. Funding Information: Pascale Carayon is Procter & Gamble Bascom Professor in Total Quality and Associate Chair in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering and the Director of the Center for Quality and Productivity Improvement (CQPI) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She leads the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (http://cqpi.engr.wisc.edu/seips home). She received her engineering diploma from the Ecole Centrale de Paris, France, in 1984 and her Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1988. Her research examines systems engineering, human factors and ergonomics, socio-technical engineering, and occupational health and safety, and has been funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes for Health (NIH), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the Department of Defense, various foundations, and private industry. She is the North American Editor for Applied Ergonomics, and a member of the editorial boards of the Journal of Patient Safety, Behaviour and Information Technology, and Work and Stress. She is a Fellow of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society and the International Ergonomics Association. Between 2006 and 2009 she was the Secretary General of the International Ergonomics Association. Dr. Carayon was a member of the Institute of Medicine Committee on Resident Hours. She is the Editor of the Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics in Health Care and Patient Safety. Funding Information: Brian T. Denton is an Assistant Professor at North Carolina State University in the Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering. Previously he has been a Senior Associate Consultant at Mayo Clinic in the College of Medicine, and a Senior Engineer at IBM. He is currently a Fellow at the Cecil Sheps Center for Health Services Research at the University of North Carolina, and holds a visiting research appointment at Mayo Clinic. His primary research interests are in optimization under uncertainty as it relates to applications in healthcare delivery and medical decision making. He has won the National Science Foundation (NSF) Career Award (2008), Institute for Operations Research and Management Science (INFORMS) Daniel H. Wagner Prize (2005), the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) Outstanding Publication Award (2005), and the Canadian Operations Research Society (CORS) Best Paper Award (2000). He has co-authored more than twenty scientific articles, and holds 9 patents with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He completed his Ph.D. in Management Science, his M.Sc. in Physics, and his B.Sc. in Chemistry and Physics at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Funding Information: George C. Runger, Ph.D., is a Professor in the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering at Arizona State University. His research is on machine learning, real-time monitoring and control, and other data-analysis methods with a focus on large, complex, multivariate data streams. His work has been funded by grants from the National Science Foundation and other national and state organizations, as well as corporations. In addition to academic work, he was a senior engineer at IBM. He holds degrees in industrial engineering and statistics. Copyright: Copyright 2016 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
