Industrial Engineering

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.
Draw 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.
12/14/15

(cont.)
A discipline built upon a collection of methodological
tools brought together to effect an integrated or "total"

approach to problem-solving in engineering and
management, with productivity improvement as its
overall objective.

What does an Industrial Engineer

do?
Industrial Engineers figure out how to do things better.
They engineer processes and systems to improve quality and
productivity. They work to eliminate waste of time, money,

materials and various resources.
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.

do? (Cont.)
The most distinctive aspect of 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.
12/14/15

do? (Cont.)
Industrial Engineers are often required to solve large and
complex real-world problems.

To accomplish this, it is necessary to adopt a holistic and
integrated approach to problem-solving that requires a unique

blend of scientific analytical methods and creativity.
They are synonymous with a systems integrator, i.e. a big-
picture thinker'. They also form the vital link between

management and engineering where scientific methods are
used heavily in making managerial decisions.
12/14/15

do? (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.
12/14/15

do? (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.
12/14/15

do? (Cont.)
Typical job titles of new IE graduates include Industrial Engineer,
Logistics Engineer, Supply Chain Engineer, Quality/Reliability Engineer,

Procurement Engineer/Executive, Planning Engineer/Executive,
Operations Analyst, Quality Management Executive, Management
Consultant, and Business Analyst.
Experiences in other countries show that a high proportion of IE
graduates work in consultancy firms or as independent consultants,

helping companies to engineer processes and systems to improve
productivity, effect efficient operation of complex systems, and manage
and optimize these processes and systems.

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.
Organizations are becoming more complex and globalized, using
information and technology extensively. This result is in a greater

demand for engineers who are able to apply scientific approaches
in the design and management of both engineering and service
systems.

Jobs and functions performed by

Industrial Engineers
On demand
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.

Industrial Engineers (Cont.)
Specifically per product (short term)
Analysis of the complete product design to determine the way the whole
process should be split into steps, or operations, and whether to produce subassemblies at certain points in the whole process. This requires knowledge of
the facilities available in-house or at sub-contractors.
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.
Notice may need to be taken of any quality procedures and constraints, such
as ISO9000. This requires knowledge of health and safety responsibilities and
quality policies. This may also involve the creation of programs for any
automated machinery.
12/14/15
18

Specifically per product (short term)
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.
12/14/15
19

Specifically per process (medium term)
Determine the maintenance plan for that process.
Assess the range of products passing through the process, then investigate
the opportunities for process improvement through a reconfiguration of the

existing facilities or through the purchase of more efficient equipment. This
may also include the out-sourcing of that process. This requires knowledge of
design techniques and of investment analysis.
Review the individual products passing through the process to identify
improvements that can be made by redesign of the product, to reduce (or

eliminate) the cost that process adds, or to standardize the components,
tooling or methods used.
12/14/15
20

Generically (long term)
Analyze the flow of products through the facilities of the factory to assess the overall
efficiency, and whether the most important products have priority for the most efficient
process or machine. This means maximizing throughout for the most profitable
products. This requires knowledge of statistical analysis and queuing theory, and of
facilities positional layout.
Training of new workers in the techniques required to operate the machines or
assembly processes.
Project planning to achieve timely introduction of new products and processes or
changes to them.
Generally, a good understanding of the structure and operation of the wider elements of
the Company, such as sales, purchasing, planning, design and finance; including good
communication skills. Modern practice also requires good skills in participation in multidisciplinary teams.
