INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING is redesign (engineering) of Products, Facilities and Processes for Productivity increase.
Productivity Management Imperative for USA - McKinsey. Returning US productivity to its long-term trend of 2.2 percent annual growth would add $10 trillion in cumulative GDP over the next ten years (2023 - 2030).

Principles of motion economy for human effort industrial engineering. Principles of machine economy for machine effort industrial engineering.

Barnes has restated the principles proposed by Gilbreth and names them as principles of motion economy.

The set of principles are given as summary to the paper "A Fourth Dimension to Measuring Skill for Obtaining the One Best Way to do Work" in Society of Industrial Engineers Bulletin, November 1923.
(The fourth dimension of measuring motions it time)

1. Fast motions cannot be made in the same path as slow motions.

2. Relative speeds cannot be made at different speeds.

3. The learner will learn quickest if he works at the motion speed of the expert from the beginning.

4. Relativity of simultaneity is an important unit of measurement of the One Best Way to work.

There are 24 points in the statement.
