Definition and Concept of Industrial Engineering

Industrial Engineering is concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated system of people, material,equipment and energy.it draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical,physical and science together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict and evaluate the result to be obtained from such system.(defined by A.I.I.E)
I.E is an engineering approach to the detailed analysis and design of the optimum utilization of men, material,money, machine, equipment,and energy i.e the main resources of an organization. The industrial Engineer carries out such analysis in order to achieve the objectives i.e to increase productivity of the organization by uitilising the resources effectively and efficiently.Essentially the Industrial Engineer is engaged in the design of a system and his function is primarily that of management.
The market is facing with severe competition, in almost every sector. The expectation of the customers are increasing day to day and manufactures are struggling to design and produce goods in as much variety as possible to cater to the demands of the new generation customers.Thus there is a challange before the industries to manufacture goods of right quality, and quantity, at right time ,and at minimum cost for their growth survival and even survivalthis demands increase in productvity of the organisation. Industrial Enigneering is going to play an important role in increasing the productivity.
Productivity Improvement Implies
1.more efficient utilization of resources such as men,materials,machine, money, energy.
2.less wastage in production.
3.Maximum output with minimum input at desired quality
