Industrial engineering
Industrial engineering is an technology profession that is concerned with a optimization of complex processes, systems, or organizations by developing, upgrading and implementing integrated systems of people, money, knowledge, information in addition to equipment. Industrial engineering is central to manufacturing operations.
Industrial Engineers use specialized knowledge in addition to skills in the mathematical, physical and social sciences, together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate the results obtained from systems and processes. There are several industrial engineering principles followed in the manufacturing industry to ensure the powerful flow of the systems, processes and operations. This includes Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Information Systems, Process Capability and DMAIC. These principles allow the imposing of new systems, processes written for the useful coordination of labour, materials and machines and also refreshing the quality and productivity of systems, physical or social. Depending on the sub-specialties involved, industrial engineering may also overlap with, operations research, systems engineering, manufacturing engineering, production engineering, supply combine engineering, management science, administration engineering, financial engineering, ergonomics or human factors engineering, safety engineering, logistics engineering or others, depending on the viewpoint or motives of the user.
