🌟 K-State IMSE Student Spotlight 🌟

From classroom to internship, Steven Ho, an industrial engineering major, is spending the summer as a Logistics Intern at Boeing in Wichita, Kansas, where he's helping optimize supply chain operations.

Congratulations, Steven!

Steven said:
I'm working on optimizing the flow of aircraft parts from receiving at the distribution center all the way to the manufacturing plants.

I've been on the floor studying how parts move through the facilities, collecting data, and finding ways to make the process faster and more efficient. It's been a great way to see how Industrial Engineering is used in a supply chain environment.
