Moore II, who welcomed the news of Mayeshiba?s installation as IIE Fellow. He stated that ?Ted is a longstanding contributor and friend to the Department, and we are grateful for all he does to help develop our programs.? ?I can think of nothing more appropriate than for his national peers choosing to elevate him to the rank if IIE Fellow. He is a perfect fit for this special distinction.? By bridging the gap between industry and university IIE chapters through sponsored IIE activities, a greater number of companies are hiring local university graduates, and offering greater intern opportunities. Mayeshiba is a lecturer in the Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Mayeshiba has taught courses ranging from Introduction to Industrial Engineering to capstone Senior Design Seminars, as well as specialized classes. The position of Fellow is the highest classification of IIE membership and no more than 20 are named in any given year. The award is meant to recognize outstanding leaders of the industrial engineering community who have made lasting and nationally recognized contributions to the field. Since starting a management consulting practice in 1991, Mayeshiba has worked across a number of industries, including aerospace, automotive, biopharmaceutical, electronics and municipal and non-governmental agencies, where he has concentrated on the implementation of Lean practices, Moore said. Ted has also worked with military and educational organizations with the United States Air Force he helped institute the AFSO21 (Air Force Smart Operations for the 21st Century) effort which was a combination of Six Sigma and Lean methodologies. He has been assisting the Existing Facilities Branch in the Facilities Information Systems, Business Process Improvement Group incorporating the practices described above. Lean operations is the process of improving operations using fewer resources, Mayeshiba said. In more recent years it has subsequently become known as a systems approach to providing greater value to a customer by finding ways to reduce waste, human effort, space and cost of a product or service, among other methods. Since coming on board with Existing Facilities, FIS team Ted has helped initiate process improvement of the invoicing, warranty and Planning functions and is and is assisting in providing leadership and direction to the overall process improvement effort and will assist in directing the organization toward Lean, Six Sigma and AFSO21 methodologies. His more than 25 years of experience include work with organizations such as General Motors, General Electric, Hughes Aircraft, Gillette, Becton Dickerson and Crown Zellerbach, and LAUSD among others. Additionally, Mayeshiba has been very active in the IIE community. A member for more than 20 years, he is the current president of the Los Angeles chapter of the organization and a senior member of the Institute.
