Financial System Industrial Engineering - Online Book



Financial system  industrial engineering is the study of resource use in various accounting and finance mobilization, allocation and payment and repayment activities with a view to increasing the efficiency or eliminating the waste wherever possible. While the finance activities are designed to account for financial resources and procure and use them, variety of others resources namely, manpower, data processing equipment, information and others are used in these activities. The use of resources in finance activities is carefully investigated by the industrial engineering to identify and remove waste. Industrial engineering succeeded in reducing the cost of many processes designed in the first iteration by the managers up to 50% and hence it is a very important activity in systems design or systems engineering.

Famous example of industrial engineering, is Henry Ford's production system redesign, that reduced the price of the automobile by half. Taylor reduced cost of many manufacturing activities. Gilbreth and Harrigton Emerson also achieved similar cost reduction in construction activity and rail road operations.
