The Management Upgrade Shop

The management upgrade shop is a private corporation dedicated to the advancement of management engineering, the application of the principles of industrial engineering to the art and science of gaining performance through a subordinate organization.

This website is by Jesse W. Brogan, the Father of Management Engineering. This development effort began in 1983 with a suggestion that could not be implemented, and was set in general scope by 1993, when the corporation was first formed under the name OEE, Inc.

 For articles and other downloadable studies and general information on management engineering, visit the Management Engineering Newsletter Website.
