In my observation, there are a lot of unaccounted for and unintended issues that can arise from this. Where I live, we are going through a lot of this right now (98+% of population growth is from immigration).…
It's going to come across very naive and dumb, but I believe we can and people just aren't aware of or they simply aren't implementing the basics. Harvard Business Review and probably hundreds of other online content…

Depending on what you're looking for in industrial engineering, there are a lot of blogs on lean manufacturing and the Toyota Production System. INFORMS, may be paywalled, also publishes a lot of pretty interesting…

Which proof assistant did you use?
In case you’re not aware, there is a podcast by Jessica Livingston and Carolyn Levy called “The Social Radars” that interviews founders.
I’m not sure if it’s similar to what you’re talking about, but there is something called “TRIZ” that’s a collection of “things” we were introduced to in a mechanical design class I took.…
Do you mind elaborating on the definition of "cross functional team" here? It seems either non-standard or something that may differ by industry. Where I've worked, a cross functional team is one made up of functional…
Yeah, sorry if I wasn't clear. I 100% agree with definitions, theorems, counterexamples, and proof techniques being incredibly important. Those are the "warm ups" or "scales" or things that need to be repeatedly drilled…
For what little it’s worth, the thing that finally made it click for me was a series of comments on HN that were discussing musical scales. I don’t have any musical training, but I related it back to the practice and…
When I was doing an associate's in engineering, our calculus and differential equations courses were like this. We'd learn some math, do some problems by hand, then we'd have a lab component where we were introduced to…

They do not cite it, but searching that sentence on Google brings up a few articles mentioning a “20-year study by The Williams Group involving 3200 families, show that 70% of families lose their wealth in the second…
It sounds like if you have production issues, there is a priority to put out an actual fix immediately.
What was the time to implementation for the real solutions? Was there any cost considerations associated with prioritizing the implementation or even limiting the scope of the solution?
I’m neither of the previous posters, so I may be off… For simplicity, I’m going to assume each variable in the model is independent of every other variable. We can interpret the coefficients in linear models. This…
If you don’t mind sharing, I’m curious what your first degree was in and what you think you got out of studying that subject?
Lean manufacturing and the Toyota Production System are absolutely about manufacturing. It's rooted in industrial engineering and operations research. It is about addressing root causes and truly solving issues. What we…
I had a math instructor in my small, unknown technical school for my mechanical engineering program. He took a huge amount of initiative to work with the profs in the engineering department to make our assignments into…
Within project management, there are predictive, adaptive, and hybrid approaches to structuring a project. Predictive is waterfall, adaptive is agile, and hybrid is a mix. Yes, everything has cost, timeline, and quality…
