- "Industrial engineering is an engineering profession that is concerned with the optimization of complex processes, systems, or organizations..."
This field of engineering deals with designing and optimizing complex systems from production lines and supply chains to decision-making processes and resource management.
Introduction to Industrial Engineering: Overview of the field of Industrial Engineering, its history, objectives, and scope.
Process Analysis and Design: Techniques for analyzing and designing processes to improve efficiency and productivity.
Facilities Planning and Design: Designing and optimizing facilities for production and operations activities, including plant layout and material handling systems.
Work Measurement and Methods Improvement: Determining the most efficient methods of performing tasks and improving them to reduce waste and increase productivity.
Production Planning and Control: Planning, scheduling, and controlling production processes to ensure efficient use of resources and timely delivery of products.
Quality Control and Assurance: Techniques for maintaining and improving product quality, including statistical process control and quality management systems.
Human Factors Engineering: Designing work environments and tasks to optimize worker performance, safety, comfort, and well-being.
Supply Chain Management: Managing the flow of goods and services from raw materials to finished products, including procurement, production, transportation, and distribution.
Operations Research: Quantitative techniques for modeling and optimizing complex systems, including linear programming, queuing theory, and simulation.
Engineering Economics: Evaluating the economic feasibility of engineering projects, including cost-benefit analysis, depreciation, and investment analysis.
