 Industrial Engineering
• Suppose you have a great idea for a new
product. Even better, suppose people wanted
to buy it.
• First, congratulation!
 Industrial Engineering
• Second??????????
• How you are going to make it?
• How many workers will you need?
• How many items they can produce?
• What kind of system will help them to make more?
• What kind of resources will they need to make it?
• How much should you keep on hand?
 Industrial Engineering
• An INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER can help you to
answer these questions.
• Or if you find answering these questions
challenging and you feel it interesting to work
on these questions, then you will one to
become industrial engineer.
What Does An Industrial Engineer
Do????????
 What is Industrial Engineering?

• Electrical Engineering – to engineer an electrical

product or system.
• Computer Engineering – to engineer a computer or
a system of networked computers.
• Industrial Engineering?
– To engineer an industry?? No.
– To engineer an industrial product or system (efficiently
and effectively): for manufactured goods or services,
originally
– To engineer a product or system for industry, the military,
government, education, etc.
– Efficiency and Quality Engineering!!
 Industrial Engineers find…..
• A better way to make a product faster and
easier
• A safer way
• A less expensive way
• Better way to solve the problem by analysis
and examination
 Industrial Engineers utilize….

PEOPLE MACHINES

INFORMATION

ENERGY
MATERIALS
 IE Tasks include…
• Efficiency improvement
• Time studies
• Factory layouts
• Cost estimation
• Production Scheduling
• Establish quality control plan
• Forecasting
• Production control
 Problems faced by an Industrial Engineer

• How many copies of the Times of India news

paper should the newsboy keep on its shelf?
• How many people need to do work at the
night shift at a cupcake factory in order to
supply the local chain of grocery stores?
• Will technology stocks rise or fall over the next
three months?
• As an Industrial engineer, you will draw
knowledge form mathematics, science,
psychology, business to answer these
questions.
• You’ll learn how to create factory layout,
factory schedules, determine delivery routes,
set up customer service systems,
transportation system, production planning,
forecasting, quality control and much more.

 History of Industrial Engineering
• The most often quoted and acknowledge
investigator that have lead to be discipline of
industrial engineering in present form was
F.W. Taylor, who took interest in human
aspects of production and productivity.
 History of Industrial Engineering
• Period between 1882-1912 was the critical
period in the history of industrial engineering.
• The important work done during this period are:
 Factory system and ownership- engineer and
manager concept.
 Equal work, equal pay and incentive schemes.
 Scheduling and Gnatt charts.
 Cost control and accounting.
 History of Industrial Engineering
• The modern industrial engineering techniques had
their origin during the period between 1940-1946.
• Predetermined Time Standards (PMTS), value analysis
and system analysis are some of prominent works
during this period.
• Operations research techniques has brought a
revolution and changed and expended the scope of
industrial engineering activities.
• The computers have added dimension to the
industrial engineering activities.
 Present state of industrial engineering

• Value engineering
• Operations research
• CPM and PERT
• Human engineering
• System analysis
• Advance in information technology
• Mathematical and statistical tools
Definition of Industrial Engineering
• Industrial engineering is concerned with the
design, improvement and installation of
integrated system of men, machine and
materials. It draws upon specialized
knowledge and skills in mathematical,
physical 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 design or improvement of
a system of people, machines, infor-
mation, and money to achieve
some goal with efficiency, quality,
and safety.
Objectives of industrial engineering
• To increase the productivity
• To establish methods for improving the
operations and controlling the production cost
• To develop programs for reducing those costs
• To Improve the effective utilization of
resources
Effective utilization of various resources

• Men, machine, material and information are

used in right way so they form integrated
combination to met production/operations
objective.

 Industrial Engineering and Production
Management
• IE is closely related to production management. Many topics
found in IE are also found in production management.
• Focus of IE is on the design, analysis, planning and control of
productive system which includes both production ad services
while PM is focused on the management of production system
• IE do not operate the system they design
• Industrial engineers are experts who perform the role of staff
function in the organization. Their role is to advise the line
managers
• Production managers are directly responsible for the shop
floor operations of the system.
