What is Industrial Engineering?
 Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering that
concerns the development, improvement, implementation
and evaluation of integrated systems of people, money,
knowledge, information, equipment, energy, material and
process.
 Industrial engineering draws upon the principles and
methods of engineering analysis and synthesis, as well as
mathematical, physical and social sciences together with the
principles and methods of engineering analysis and design
to specify, predict and evaluate the results to be obtained
from such systems.

What does an Industrial Engineer do?

 Industrial Engineers figure out how to do things better.


 The engineer analyze the process and systems to improve quality
and productivity.
 They work to eliminate waste of time, money, materials and various
resources.

What does an Industrial Engineer do?
(Cont.)
 While engineers from other disciplines apply their skills to very specific
areas, the Industrial Engineer has the opportunity to work in a variety of
businesses. (Quality, Design, Manufacturing etc.)

 The most distinctive aspect of Industrial System Engineering (ISE) training


is the flexibility and versatility it can offer. Whether it is improving product
quality, planning manufacturing resources or designing logistics distribution
channels, all share the common objective of cost-cutting, increasing
efficiencies and ultimately driving up the profit margins.

 That is why more and more companies are hiring Industrial Engineers
and then promoting them into management positions.

What is Unique about Industrial
Engineering?
 The domain knowledge of Industrial Engineering (IE) is
derived from combinations of:-
 engineering, mathematics, statistics, computing and
social sciences.

 The IE discipline calls for the adoption of a holistic view in


resolving problems encountered and developing
opportunities presented, coupled with a strong emphasis on
efficiency and productivity improvement.

What is Unique about Industrial
Engineering? (Cont.)

Its application can be found in a wide range of areas. Some examples are:
Manufacturing industry: Ensuring that the equipment, manpower and
other resources in the manufacturing process are integrated in such a
manner so as to maintain efficient operation and for continuous
improvement.
Logistics industry: Management of supply chain systems (e.g.
manufacturing facilities, transportation carriers, distribution hubs, and
retailers) through integration and optimization with the goal of fulfilling
customer orders in the most cost effective way.

What is Unique about Industrial
Engineering? (Cont.)
Service industry: Provision of consultancies in areas related to
organizational effectiveness, service quality, information systems, project
management, banking service strategy, etc.

Defence industry: Tools to support the management of military assets


and military operations in an effective and efficient manner.

Jobs and functions performed by
Industrial Engineers
 Investigate problems relating to component quality or difficulties in
meeting design and method constraints.

 Investigate problems with the performance of processes or


machines.

 Implement design changes at the appropriate times.

 Analysis of the complete product design to determine the way the


whole process should be split into steps, or operations, and
whether to produce sub-assemblies at certain points in the whole
process.

Jobs and functions performed by
Industrial Engineers (Cont.)
 Specification of the method to be used to manufacture or assemble
the product(s) at each operation. This includes the machines, tooling, jigs
and fixtures and safety equipment, which may have to be designed and
built.

 Measurement or calculation of the time required to perform the specified


method, taking account of the skills of the operator. This is used to cost the
operation performed, to allow balancing of assembly or machining flow
lines or the assessment of the manufacturing capacity required. This
technique is known as work study or time and motion studies. These
times are also used in value analysis.

 Specification of the storage, handling and transportation methods and


equipment required for components and finished product, and at any
intermediate stages throughout the whole process. This should eliminate
the possibility for damage and minimize the space required.
