Business Process Industrial Engineering - New Industrial Engineering Area

 

Development of computer engineering, software engineering, and information technology have led to development of the area of business process industrial engineering.

The article, "The New Industrial Engineering: Information Technology and Business Process Redesign" by  Thomas H Davenport, Professor, Department of Management Information, MIT School of Management in MIT SMR is the formal starting point of this area of industrial engineering. 

He wrote, "Our research also suggests that IT can also have a stronger role in business process redesign than that of useful tool. ... Thinking about information technology should be in terms of how it supports new or redesigned business processes, rather than business functions or other organizational entities. And thinking about business processes and process improvements should be in terms of the capabilities information technology can provide. We refer to this broadened, recursive view of IT and BPR  as the new industrial engineering."

Conradie, investigated the IE perspective of business intelligence for his PhD thesis.

Over the period of 1977 to 2022, I observed that many industrial engineering graduates have successfully become systems engineers and managers of IT systems. Compared to the migration of industrial engineering graduates toward manufacturing process design and systems design, the migration to IT systems and processes area is huge. Industrial engineering graduates and industrial engineers in response to the demand for system engineering specialists in IT area learned the new technology and successfully implemented many systems in leading companies of the world. The activity is still going on very successfully. Industrial engineers are embracing artificial intelligence and machine learning in a big way in the current years.

An Interesting Question.

What is the recommended process chart for business process industrial engineering?
