Name alternative.(RANTS AND RAVES)

I frequently tell students of process improvement that "everything involves a process." One way to define a system is "a collection of one or more processes." Today's IEs are involved in both the design and improvement of systems and processes--no matter where they occur.

With these thoughts in mind, perhaps we should consider renaming our organization the Institute of Systems and Process Engineers (ISPE).
