Element Level Analysis in Industrial Engineering

Taylor's Industrial Engineering System - First Proposal 1895 - Productivity Improvement of Each Element of the Process


Is there productivity benefit in acquiring smart machines? A question for industrial engineers?

In Industry 4.0 implementation context, is there a benefit for acquiring smart machines? Industrial engineers have to answer this question proactively and recommend purchase of smart machines. The management may ask them to audit the purchase proposal or project proposal from other departments, either capital budgeting departments, new projects, process planning or production departments. IEs have to analyze the benefits of smart machines as part of facilities industrial engineering.


Facilities Industrial Engineering = Facilities Design Engineering + Facilities Productivity Science and Engineering [Productivity Philosophy - Science - Engineering - Management]

In industrial engineering process improvement using process charts (operation process chart and flow process chart) is the dominant method. Process charts are created for each finished product and for each of its components. The processes of different products and its components are performed using the facilities of the organization. In designing various facilities of industrial buildings and different facilities within the building, industrial engineering has a role to play. In selection of the equipment used by multiple processes industrial engineering has a role to play. Improvement of machines to increase productivity was done by F.W. Taylor, founder of industrial engineering. Maintenance of various equipment and its overhaul can also be examined by industrial engineers as part of facilities industrial engineering. Layout of the equipment and various production departments decide the amount of material handling and transport within the facility. Layout improvement is an important task of industrial engineering.  Hence facilities level industrial engineering  or facilities industrial engineering is to be identified as an important area in industrial engineering.

Book - Facilities Planning


James A. Tompkins, John A. White, Yavuz A. Bozer, J. M .A. Tanchoco
John Wiley & Sons, 19-Jan-2010 - Technology & Engineering - 864 pages


When it comes to facilities planning, engineers turn to this book to explore the most current practices. The new edition continues to guide them through each step in the planning process. The updated material includes more discussions on economics, the supply chain, and ports of entry. It takes a more global perspective while incorporating new case studies to show how the information is applied in the field. Many of the chapters have been streamlined as well to focus on the most relevant topics. All of this will help engineers approach facilities planning with creativity and precision.

Abstract:
The selection of a desirable machine is an important concern for the manufacturing firm. The selection process contains some critical selection attributes and the task of this process is to choose the desirable machine from a number of candidate machines. Then the machine selection problem is actually a multi-attribute decision making problem. This paper will develop a preference selection index method to solve the problem of machine selection in a flexible manufacturing cell. A case study is used to demonstrate that the proposed method is effective and feasible.
