Centers and Laboratories 

Center for Computer integrated Manufacturing enterprises (CCiMe)

The Center for Computer integrated Manufacturing enterprises (CCiMe) was established at Oklahoma State University in 1984. Dr. Joe H. Mize, Regents Professor of Industrial Engineering & Management, was appointed Center Director. From 1985 to 1995 the AT&T Foundation provided continuous support for research in areas related to manufacturing systems engineering.

Oklahoma Industrial Assessment Centre (IAC)

The Oklahoma State University Industrial Assessment Center is funded by the US Department of Energy as a part of a national program to perform no-cost energy audits for small to medium sized industries.

Macroergonomics in manufacturing (MiM) Research lab

The MiM research lab was established to explore organizational systems and group dynamics within manufacturing companies in order to improve organizational performance and job satisfaction. The first project, funded by a National Science Foundation CAREER grant, is an investigation of the "Effects of Inter-Group Cooperation, Competition, and Conflict on Agile Manufacturing."

Sensor Networks and Complex Systems Research Lab

Established in Fall 04, this lab focuses on researching sensor-based approaches for quality and integrity monitoring applications in manufacturing machines and processes, and other complex engineering systems including large-scale infrastructure and lifeline systems. The research is aimed at deriving new principles and technologies to characterize, model and harness nonlinear and stochastic dynamics underlying sensor-data from real-world manufacturing and other complex systems.

Centre for Engineering Logistics and Distribution (CELDi)

The Center for Engineering Logistics and Distribution (CELDi) is a multi-university, multi-disciplinary National Science Foundation sponsored Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC). CELDi helps industry partners excel by leveraging their supply chain to achieve a distinguishable, sustainable difference. Member companies realize a measurable return on their investment by creating competitive value chains, in terms of cost and service quality.

Research Projects

Some of the key research projects that have been undertaken by the Industrial Engineering department-

Computer Aided Technology Transfer (CATT) Project

CATT is a National Reinvention Laboratory initiated in 1994 by Oklahoma State University to address Department of Defense (DOD) procurement problems. CATT is a government-academic-business partnership. The principal current partners are the Defense Logistics Agency, Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center, Oklahoma State University, Small Business Innovation Research Engineering, Knowledge Base Engineering, and Mercer Engineering Research Center.

Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP) Project  

The STEP project, a part of the Computer Assisted Technology Transfer program at Oklahoma State University, attempts to assist Small and Medium Sized Enterprises to understand and implement the 10303, the Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP) and further understand the standard in academia and industry.
