Planning operations to minimize wait times at security screening checkpoints (SSCP) while ensuring flight safety with
limited operational resources and rapidly changing conditions presents a challenge, but one that ISE tools are
well-designed to conquer. The DHS Center for Accelerating Operational Efficiency (CAOE) at Arizona State University
has teamed with TSA to address this challenge.

According to Our World in Data website, natural disasters accounted for an average of 60,000 deaths per year in the
past decade, but given the high year-to-year variability in the data, some devastating events pushed the number to
more than 200,000 in some cases. The numbers are staggeringly high when human-caused disasters, wars, and pandemics
are included. With the rate at which the climate
is changing, no one expects natural disasters’ frequency and intensity to decline any time soon.

In the past several decades, the idea of interfacing the human brain and a computer, once only imagined in science
fiction, has materialized via brain-computer interface. Always looking for new frontiers, researchers have begun to
turn their attention toward another audacious thought:
Directly extracting and delivering information between brains, allowing direct brain-to-brain
communication.

Few companies have achieved the kind of sustained success that Toyota
has from its legendary Lean production system. While many
companies have implemented “islands of Lean,” what’s often
lacking is a comprehensive system. In other words, you may
have an ace pitcher on your baseball squad, but if the rest of
your team and playbook is lackluster, it’s a challenge to win
games, let alone a championship. So where do you get started if you want to take your Lean
program to that next level?
