The functions of industrial engineering are derived from the Principles of Industrial Engineering presented at the 2017 Annual Conference of IISE, held at Pittsburgh, USA

Taylor - Narayana Rao Principles of Industrial Engineering

Engineering in Industrial Engineering -  Machine work study or machine effort improvement, value engineering and design for manufacturing and assembly are major engineering based IE methods. All are available as existing methods.

Applied Industrial Engineering



3D printing or any new technology does not make IE obsolete.  It provides additional work to IEs to develop productivity science and productivity engineering. 

IE is applicable in all engineering branches and IEs have to focus on different areas. Therefore we have to appreciate your specialization in IT

New technologies do not make IE irrelevant. In Industrial Engineering Focus areas,  I added Applied Industrial Engineering as a new area. Focus Areas of Industrial Engineering -

Applied industrial engineering indicates the application of IE principles, methods and techniques in each new technology to make it more productive and reduce its cost in each application. It involves identifying specific technology and management dimensions that have an effect on productivity (productivity science)  and changing the processes and management procedures to maintain the variables in the required magnitudes and proportions (productivity engineering and management). So 3D printing requires industrial engineering and industrial engineers in the area of manufacturing 3D printing machines and also to utilize 3D printing process with increasing levels of productivity.

Each technological development, increases the work for industrial engineers by providing new technology on which IEs have to work. IE is industry expansion engineering and each new engineering product and service depends on IE for its growth.

It is a comment I wrote on the blog post in IISE blogs
