Industrial Engineering - Productivity Improvement - Process Improvement - Product Redesign - Continuous Improvement


Industrial engineering is improvement in various elements of engineering operations to increase productivity. Along with engineering elements, industrial engineers evaluate and improve many other elements also as they are responsible for productivity and cost of items produced in a process. Through assignments of improving productivity and efficiency of information technology and software engineering processes, industrial engineers specializing in IT were given responsibility for business processes also. Thus industrial engineers with focus on various branches of engineering provide their services to companies and society to improve various elements of the products and processes on a continuous basis over the product life cycle. They are active in engineering or production-maintenance-service-logistic processes and business processes.

Productivity improvement always focuses on quality and flexibility issues as productivity improvement should not lead to any deterioration in quality or flexibility. Delivery and cost are always at the core of industrial engineering. Thus when QFCD paradigm came, that is attention to quality, flexibility, cost and delivery became prominent, many industrial engineers were given the responsibility of managing this function of continuous improvement.

Qualcomm

Productivity Improvement Potential of Its Product

Lenovo’s Project Limitless, in association with Qualcomm, gave the world’s first 5G laptop prototype at Computex 2019 running on a Snapdragon 8cx chipset. The  processor 8cd could save one minute and 11 seconds over the Core i5 in multitasking.  Qualcomm claimed that 8cx could save up to 11 workdays of productivity a year for persons working on the laptops.
