[Title] Smart Manufacturing and Healthcare Systems: Problems, Opportunities, and Challenges
[Abstract]
Both
manufacturing and healthcare delivery systems have significant
importance to economy and society. In addition to widespread attention
in smart manufacturing systems, referred to as Industry 4.0, there have
been growing interests in smart healthcare systems, where we introduce
the notion of Healthcare 4.0. In this talk, we will present the lessons
we learned and results we obtained in manufacturing and healthcare
systems study. We will address the evolution of Industry 4.0 and
Healthcare 4.0, discuss the similarities and differences between
production systems and healthcare delivery systems. Next, a brief
description of recent studies carried out at the Production and Service
Systems Lab in University of Wisconsin-Madison will be presented.
Particularly, projects of transient analysis in time constrained battery
manufacturing systems and queueing network models of complex patient
transitions in large hospitals will be introduced. Finally, we plan to
discuss the potential opportunities, challenges and future directions in
smart manufacturing and healthcare systems research.
[Bio]
Dr.
Jingshan Li received the BS and MS in Automation and PhD in Electrical
Engineering from Tsinghua University, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and
University of Michigan, in 1989, 1992 and 2000, respectively. He was
with General Motors Research & Development Center from 2000 to 2006,
and with University of Kentucky from 2006 to 2010. He is now a
Professor in Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, and the
Associate Director of Wisconsin Institute of Healthcare Systems
Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Dr. Li is the
co-author of Production Systems Engineering (Springer, 2009; Chinese
edition by BIT Press, 2012), and co-editor of 7 book volumes.
Up-to-date, he has published over 120 refereed journal articles, 15 book
chapters, and 120 peer reviewed conference proceedings. He has been the
Senior Editor of IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and
Engineering, IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, IISE Transactions,
and Flexible Service and Manufacturing Journal, and the Associate Editor
of International Journal of Production Research and International
Journal of Automation Technology. He was the founding Chair of IEEE
Technical Committee on Sustainable Production Automation (2012-2016) and
has been the Chair of IEEE Technical Committee on Automation for
Healthcare Management since 2016. He also serves as the Program Chair,
General Co-chair and Program Co-chair of 2019, 2013, and 2015 IEEE
International Conferences on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE),
and the Editor-in-Chief of Conference Editorial Board of IEEE CASE.
Dr.
Li is an IEEE Fellow and an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer in robotics and
automation. He received the NSF CAREER Award (2010), the IEEE Robotics
and Automation Early Career Award (2006), and multiple Best Paper Awards
from IEEE Transactions, IIE Transactions, and many flagship
conferences. His primary research interests are in design, analysis, and
control of production and healthcare delivery systems. His research has
been supported by NSF, DOE, NIST, PCORI, AHRQ, industry and healthcare
organizations.
