INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
Industrial engineering, a branch of both engineering and of industrial management, is primarily concerned with the analysis of the processes of production and the design of methods for making them more efficient. An analysis of production processes might include the selection of tools and materials and the design of the sequence of production operations.
The industrial engineer may also design plant facilities, establish work standards through time and motion studies, develop wage scales based on an analysis of required job skill levels, and determine quality assurance and quality control procedures. Industrial engineers also manage materials, people and energy; workers are integrated into an overall manufacturing system. They also carry out production planning and control, schedule jobs and people, project management, systems engineering, integrated manufacturing, costing, operations management and engineering management.
Industrial engineers are people and productivity improvement specialists.
