 What is Industrial Engineering?

Industrial and systems engineering

is concerned with the design,
improvement and installation of
integrated systems of people,
materials, information, equipment
and energy. It draws upon
specialized knowledge and skill 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 to be obtained from such
systems.

The ABCs of Industrial Engineering

A
Analytics
Analytics refers to the systematic
computational analysis of data or
statistics. It is used for the discovery,
interpretation, and communication of
meaningful patterns in data.
Essentially, analytics helps in applying
data patterns towards effective
decision making. It can provide
insights that enable better decisions
and strategic business moves.

Bottleneck
Identifies the slowest part of
any process, which determines
the maximum output of the
entire system, and focuses on
improving the performance of
that part.
