1.1 Definition
Fierce Competitionin Economy. Customers demandsare rising.
Challengefor industries to produce goods
of right quantity, quality, in time and atminimum cost.
Industrial Engineering plays a pivotal role
in meeting these challenges.
There are various techniques in IndustrialEngineering to analyse
and improve thework methods, to eliminate waste, properallocation
and utilization of resources.

1.1 Definition
American Institute of IndustrialEngineers (AIIE) defines
IndustrialEngineering as follows;
Industrial Engineeringis concerned with
the design, improvement and installationof integrated system of
men, materialsand equipment. It draws uponspecialized knowledge and
skills in themathematical, physical sciencestogether with the
principles andmethods of engineering analysis anddesign to specify,
predict and evaluatethe results to be obtained from such
system.

1.5 Industrial Engineering Approach
In carrying out various activities, theindustrial engineer :
Gathers and analyses facts. Prepares the alternative solutions
taking in
to consideration all the constraints bothinternal and
external.
Selects the best solution forimplementation.

1.5 Industrial Engineering Approach
At problem identification/definition stagefollowing steps must
be taken;
1- All the facts about the operation are collected
and recorded using various recording techniqueslike charts,
diagrams or models.2- Critical Examination of all facts by
asking
series of questions.
3- Alternative ways are found by techniques likebrainstorming.4-
based upon the criteria fixed for evaluation,
the best alternative is selected.
