Introduction
1. What is Industrial Engineering?
• Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering which deals with the optimization
of complex processes, systems, or organizations. Industrial engineers work to
eliminate waste of time, money, materials, personhours, machine time, energy and
other resources that do not generate value.
• Industrial Engineering is concerned with the design, improvement and installation
of integrated system of men, material and machine for the benefit of mankind.
• Industrial engineers determine the most effective ways to use the basic factors of
production—people, machines, materials, information, and energy—to make a
product
2. Industrial Engineering Objectives
The basic objectives of industrial engineering are:
• Improving operating methods and controlling costs.
• Reducing these costs through cost reduction program.
3. Role of an Industrial Engineer
• Improving work method, establishes standard methods.
• Establishes performance standards as per standard methods (standard time).
• Design an inventory control system, economic lot size, plan for work‐in‐process for
each stage of production.
• Prepare and evaluate job description and job‐specification sheets for each job.
• Develops cost reduction and control programme and establish standard costing
system.
• Help in site selection and in developing a system plant layout
• Develop and standardizes training programmes for various levels of organisation.
