Engineering in Industrial Engineering: Product Industrial Engineering and Process Industrial Engineering

Industrial Engineering is intensive engineering with focus on cost reduction and productivity improvement

Engineering is the core in industrial engineering

Others subjects support the engineering core in IE.

Other subjects indicate the engineering elements that needs to be studied and changed to increase productivity.

5. CONCLUSION

1.INTRODUCTION

Principles of industrial engineering by Narayana Rao (Rao, 2017).

Productivity science, productivity engineering and productivity management were indicated as important activities of industrial engineers.

Functions of industrial engineering and focus areas of industrial engineering were proposed by Narayana Rao (Rao, 2016)

product industrial engineering and process industrial engineering

 In the focus areas of industrial engineering, product industrial engineering and process industrial engineering are the core engineering based activities.

Product industrial engineering and process industrial engineering provide brand identification to industrial engineering discipline.

What are methods and techniques that can constitute these industrial engineering areas?

2. INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING LITERATURE

Industrial engineering literature spans the period from 1880 to 2019.
In 1880, the annual conference proceedings of American Society of Mechanical Engineers. - Need for Cost Reduction.
The July 2019 issue of ISE Magazine (publication of IISE): Additive manufacturing for  light  weight  components for fuel savings.
Product and Process IE techniques appeared at various points of time.

3. PRODUCT INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES

Time Study, Motion Study, Method Study
3.1 Analysis of material
3.2 Analysis of Tolerances and Finish
3.3 Value Analysis and Value Engineering
3.4 Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA)
3.5 Engineering Optimization
3.6 Engineering Economic Analysis and Cost Analysis

4.PROCESS INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES

Operation analysis that analyses each operation (Westing House and Maynard) in early days of industrial engineering.
4.1 Machine choice and Replacement
4.2 Tooling and cutting parameters (Taylor himself)
4.3 Work holding - Tool Guiding (Gilbreth and Taylor)
4.4 Work place layout (Gilbreth)
4.5 Process Information Flow and Job Information Flow (Written standard practice)
4.6 Material flow (Flow process chart – Gilbreth , ASME)



4.7 Mechanization, Automation and Digitization

Automation and Digitization
Industrial Engineering 4.0 by Narayana Rao
Explore the New Technologies
New technologies increase the demand for industrial engineering.
Provide opportunity for expansion of the subject.

5. CONCLUSION

Using industrial engineering focused terms like product industrial engineering and process industrial engineering can have several benefits.
It first clarifies the role of industrial engineering in engineering activities.
It highlights that industrial engineers are engineers first and do their engineering in response to industry generated data.
Cost Information – New Technology
Any cost increases and information are rapidly analysed and appropriate action is taken in engineering processes.
New technology developments are monitored and adopted quickly in appropriate engineering elements of the operations and processes.
Industrial engineers have a role to play in both product designs and process designs and thus in the entire engineering activity of organizations.

Engineering + Productivity Thinking + Knowledge from Many Other Disciplines = Industrial Engineering

In addition to engineering knowledge, industrial engineers use economics, human sciences, management theory,  mathematics, and statistics to increase productivity of engineering operations, processes and organizations.
