For the food processing industry, it would be ideal if the food technologist were also trained in industrial engineering.

Ubiquity of Industrial Engineering Principle.

Industrial Engineering is applicable to all branches of engineering.

Some food companies have taken the further step of providing training in work simplification for their executive, technical, and supervisory staffs with commensurate results to the organization (Dunlap, 1949a).


14.  Productivity training Principle of Industrial Engineering.

Productivity training and education has to be provided to all associates by industrial engineers.

The success of an industrial engineering program in terms of meaningful and lasting results depends upon a sound foundation of understanding and cooperation within the organization.

Industrial Engineering Principle 17. Hearty cooperation Principle of Industrial Engineering.

Industrial engineers and managers must have cooperative attitudes. They are in the production system to facilitate work. 

An industrial engineers does not exploit anybody in the organization.

Methods engineering is principally involved in the development of optimum production processes and operations, in the choice and development of optimum tools and equipment, in the choice of the operator and his training, and in the optimum design of the machine, the product, and the layout of the plant.

Productivity Engineering Principle of Industrial Engineering.

Industrial engineering is concerned with redesign of engineering systems with a view to improve their productivity.

The best results for the company will be achieved by carrying on in combination both a specialized industrial engineering program and a generalized work simplification program.



Machine Work Study

Process (Machine Use) : 

1. Is proper machine being used? 

2. Can machine be loaded and unloaded while running? 

3. Can automatic shut-off be used? 

4. Can operator control more than one machine? 

5. Can speed be increased?

6. Cali machine be operated with foot-operated lever to substitute for hand motions? 

7. Are stops being used? 

8. Can operation be done in multiple units? 

9. Is machine properly maintained? 

10. Can design of apparatus be changed to reduce use time?
