Definition of Industrial Engineering
5
DEFINITIONInvolved in the design of systems and
processes to produce and deliver goods and services – manufacturing, service industries and government
sectors.
Concern with the design of integrated systems involving people, materials,
facilities, finances, equipment, energy, so that the overall system functions efficiently and human
needs are adequately met.
6
DEFINITIONIndustrial engineering is the engineering
discipline that concerns the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of integrated systems of
people, knowledge, equipment, energy, and material. Industrial engineering
draws upon the principles and methods of engineering analysis and synthesis, as
well as mathematics, physical, and social sciences.
Industrial engineers work to eliminate wastes of time, money, materials, energy,
and other resources.

Roles of Industrial Engineers
To eliminates the inefficiencies in systems and continually improve productive, efficiency, product quality and employee well-being.
11
Cost- effectiveness of production
In quality of life for the entire society
Profitability
Superior products and
service at lower cost
12
Career opportunityIndustrial Engineers work in a variety of
diverse areas:• Manufacturing and assembly operations• Transportation• Logistics• Telecommunication• Retail• Hospital management• Marketing, financing and personnel
administration
13
WHAT DOES INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER DO?
• assess the techniques and equipment used in production processes to see if they can operate more efficiently
• plan and design systems that increase productivity by improving integration of people, materials, equipment and finance
• choose and develop more efficient and safe manufacturing processes using new, existing or modified machinery and equipment
• introduce or recommend changes to work methods, safety measures and labour organisation
• work out the time taken to perform a task or to complete a particular production stage and set performance standards
• analyse and recommend changes to the workplace to maximise worker comfort by improving light, altering bench space or machine height and reducing noise.

Examples• As a management engineer in a hospital, you
may help doctors and nurses make the best use of their time in treating patients. You may also design procedures for optimum use of medical facilities to help bring the cost of healthcare down.
• As an ergonomist in a television manufacturing plant, you may change the tools workers use to assemble televisions to reduce the risk of repetitive stress injuries.
• As an operations analyst for an airline, you may design a bar coding system for identifying and transporting passengers’ luggage to ensure that it does not get lost.
• As a quality engineer for a public gas and electric company, you may improve customer satisfaction by designing a process to schedule service calls around the availability of the customer.

Advice from an IIE Member
“Successful industrial engineers must possess the ability to communicate effectively, for without it you cannot sell your ideas. You must be able to manage projects and multiple tasks, for without those skills you will be less efficient and of less use to your employer. You must be able to observe others and understand why they are doing what they do, for without that change is an uphill battle.”
