Process plan needs to be fed in detail into MES to execute each step in the plan. The process has to be performed at each work station as per plan. All the inputs required at the work station are to be made available by persons or machines concerned at the time instant the process has to start. The time stamps at each work station will record the time at which the task at the work station is started and the time at which it is completed. This time for each cycle can be compared with standard time or allowed time. Delays can be found out from it from this data. Delay elimination is an important task for the managers and supervisors as well as production planners and controllers. Improvements by ind.  engineers have to be recorded in plans.

Advanced Analytics in Batch Production

You can quickly identify batch production issues with outlier detection and alerts. The manufacturing data analysis software completes all the steps necessary to identify anomalies and then provides the analysis information. 

Step execution duration and outlier detection.

Pattern detection in production record exceptions – Lets you figure out if there’s a recipe or combination of parameters that can cause more record exceptions than normal.

Seasonality detection of rejections in production records – Enables you to determine if there’s a certain time of year when you experience more than the usual number of rejections.

The three types of analytics in manufacturing.

#3: Prescriptive Manufacturing Insights

At this level of MES analytics, the program makes suggestions based on the plans and execution data. These suggestions help your manufacturing processes become more efficient and effective.  Prescriptive analytics recommend best practice for maximum benefit. You’ll know which combination of employees can give you the highest quality batch with the highest yield and fewest defects. When there are defects,  the system can perform a root cause analysis and tell you what the problem was. A lot of the legwork that humans do now can be done by these advanced programs, which lets the humans in manufacturing focus on more meaningful work.

MES for Manufacturing Planning, Scheduling and Dispatching

The MES is a central strategic tool for implementing the requirements of the factory of the future. MES can provide Knowledge and Knowledge Management for Process Chart Based Industrial Engineering.


Industrial Engineering and MES Data

Industrial engineers now have the MES data to access and improve processes. The method of preparing process charts and operation details by direct observation on the shop floor  was developed by Frank Gilbreth and standardized by ASME. Now in the age of digitization, industrial engineer can  get process related information from manufacturing information systems. Manufacturing execution system (MES) is an information system that interacts with lower systems that directly control equipment and directs them to specific tasks as per the orders sent to it by the ERP system. MES also records actual execution of the operation instruction at each equipment and work station. Industrial engineers can examine MES data to understand the process and examine it for improvement. Problems encountered in process and alternatives used by the plant personnel to temporarily overcome the problems are also recorded in the data presenting industrial engineers the opportunity to make required improvements in the process.

MES data provides an approach for process improvement for industrial engineers.

Keep an eye on process values and detect trends!

Superior products are often manufactured using complex processes which require the utmost precision. Adhering to production parameters like temperature, pressure or flow rates, and evaluating statistics aimed at continuous improvement guarantee high production quality and low scrap rates.

Benefits

Increased process stability through correlation of recorded data with orders, articles, material batches, and more

Reduced scrap due to continuous monitoring of defined process parameters and early detection of trends

Cost savings through multiple use of shared data (e. g. for quality assurance)

Compliance with specifications for complete documentation of the manufacturing process

Support of condition-based maintenance strategies

Process data collection 


Process Data Collection

While the continuous control of production parameters, process values and their recording can now be taken over by sensors, modern machines and plant controls (PLC), the HYDRA module Process Data (PDV) offers functions that go far beyond this. The complete integration of all MES applications on the basis of a central database allows for the correlative examination of other data. The comparison of data to orders, articles, material batches or tools and process values makes a valuable contribution to optimize your production. For example, limit value violations can be detected relating to current orders or manufactured articles. The early detection of trends enables timely intervention and countermeasures. HYDRA PDV transfers process values via a standard interface (e. g. OPC): The collected data can also be used as an input parameter for production-related quality inspections.

Many business units across the enterprise can benefit from an MES system. Our ROI Analyzer reveals the untapped potentials that are still hidden within your production processes.

COLLECT, ANALYZE AND OPTIMIZE

Once your processes are in place and your MES system is at work, you can maximize efficiency, yield and quality by collecting and analyzing process data. EZ-MES will allow you to have a seamless integration of your Process Data acquisition, as well as live reports like Product Tracking, WIP and Inventory. This will enable you to make well informed decisions that will improve your bottom line. 


USE EZ-MES TO COLLECT DATA

The real time browser based Manufacturing Execution System EZ-MES collects process data as parts travel through different manufacturing steps. Critical travel data such as start time, end time, resources used, yield, drop outs are automatically logged at a very granular level

Data generated by your manufacturing process can be collected via manual input or in an automated way.

In case of manual data collection, EZ-MES has build-in a number of pre-formated and configurable User Interface elements. Forms using such user interface elements allow seamless input of data by humans while supporting that the date is entered correctly. This is be done by using pre-configured radio buttons, dropdown boxes and input fields with validation checks defined via regular expressions.

Many tools in today's manufacturing environment support data collection, such as barcode-readers, forms, equipment, electronic handheld devices and others. Data generated by those and by equipment using sensors, can be automatically feed to EZ-MES by using its open Application Programming Interface (API). This open API allows software tools for automated measurements to access the data and core functions in EZ-MES. 


ANALYZE COLLECTED DATA

EZ-MES contains a number of pre-formatted reports. For the purpose of data analysis, EZ-MES contains 'out of the box' Statistical Process Control (SPC) Reports. SPC is an industry-standard method for measuring and analyzing data for quality during the manufacturing process. Product, Part and Process measurements are gathered by EZ-MES during manufacturing. This data is then plotted on a graph with pre-determined control limits. 

Results that falls within the control limits indicates that everything is operating as expected. Any variation within the control limits is considered to be acceptable due to natural variation in the manufacturing processes. If data consistently falls outside of the control limits, then this indicates that something within the process is likely not running as it is supposed to do. Repairs need to fix the issue before serious defects and possible escalations occur.

OPTIMIZE YOUR PROCESSES

The immediate and real time use of production data collection and analyses is to detect acute production problems or even faults leading to expensive recalls, if not detected in time.  Next to this short term need, there is an obvious and on-going mid- and long term need to further improve both processes and products and reduce costs.

As manufacturing processes are soft configured in EZ-MES instead of being hard-coded, rapid prototyping changes in EZ-MES is relative fast and easy to do, as no programming skills are needed. EZ-MES has an optional Sandbox version which allows you to first try out and simulate changes in your manufacturing processes and in your vertical and horizontal integration of flows. You can dry-run these changes and if accepted, make them available to the Live version of your EZ-MES application. As EZ-MES is a realtime browser application, your changes are immediately deployed to all users, without any need for local software updates.

After the deployment of the changes, you can start collecting and analyzing production data. To evaluate the real world impact of the changes you made.

MES Software Helps Plants Integrate Cross-Functional Platforms

Islands of automation are giving way to plant-wide (even enterprise-wide) efforts that yield performance analysis and front-office profit maximization.

11 April 2008


Evolving Price/Performance of DCS - PLCs


“In the mid-1980s,  Serial No. 1 of the Rosemount [now Emerson Process Management] RS3 [DCS],  gave 40-megabytes of hard drive to work with and  cost was $2 million. 

Today, a single programmable logic controller (PLC) can perform the same function  and the cost of even a high-end PLC is about $500. More impressive: PLCs  today handle motion, motor and process loop controls that a decade ago required multiple vendors, tools, parts and training that far exceeded the hardware cost.

Automation systems is standardization

A key enabler of today’s automation systems is standardization.  ISA-88 and ISA-95 consist of common terms and definitions for manufacturing functions; common process models that map real-world plant processes and data flows; and programming conventions shared by automation professionals. As such, they serve both as templates for training as well as technology development. Some of their key features:

ISA-88 and allied efforts (such as Make2Pack for packaging) address most production environments found in food plants, including automated product changeovers. This standard first affected first-tier control software such as human-machine interface (HMI) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software and grew with batch and manufacturing execution systems (MESs).

ISA-95 is a control-to-enterprise standard built upon ISA-88. It  maps workflows between production, packaging, quality and maintenance. It broadens the effectiveness of MES-level models with extensions from production to functions throughout operations and up to the ERP level. 

Many companies are finding significant savings in more rapid integration of their SAP systems with factory processes via the  standard interface provided by  ISA-95. 

Smithfield refined its  systems using  Rockwell’s software conformance to such standards in a greenfield plant. The strategy now is being implemented gradually across all plants. It integrates plant applications with the ERP system and the web services make this information available to remote managers monitoring plant-by-plant performance levels. Sales personnel can track orders to levels of partial completion.

Executing a command performance

Most companies with revenues above $250 million are using MES systems at some level. 

MES can be seen as having has two tiers of benefits: production management and performance management. Standard features typically include data collection and event-driven alerts for operator intervention such as clean-in-place (CIP), hazards analysis and critical control points (HACCP) programs or material replenishment.

Systems rise to the level of performance management when they include modules for or integrate with functions outside production and incorporate deeper analytical functions such as optimal equipment effectiveness (OEE).

The practice of OEE is accompanied by aggregated data presented as key performance indicators (KPIs), such as a single-value index or percentage of a production line’s performance against an ideal goal. It’s one of many uses for KPIs that can be presented in dashboard-style values, dials or graphic bars.

Each KPI, wherever it is displayed, should be role-specific to the operator, supervisor or manager using it. According to Walt Staehle, an ex-Kraft Foods manufacturing executive who installed MES, laboratory and other systems across 50-plus Kraft plants during this 20-plus years there,  Kraft recouped $1.6 million by reducing variability in raw materials-to-finished goods conversion and improving asset utilization by using a simplified (uptimeonly) version of OEE as part of a collaborative, real-time performance management strategy. 

Key performance indicators are measured and used to run  businesses and shop floors in many companes.

The economic justification for plant automation is the same, whether a plant uses PLCs or a DCS and whether the plant is dedicated to candy bars or corn wet milling.

Lesson 117 of  Industrial Engineering ONLINE Course


Part of Computer Aided Industrial Engineering (CAIE) - Proposal by Prof. Narayana Rao K.V.S.S.

https://nraoiekc.blogspot.com/2021/09/computer-aided-industrial-engineering.html


Industrial engineers can use digital twins to observe operations in processes. The work station in action will be available on their table to observe in real time as well as offline number of times and even in slow motion to understand the process and come with alternatives. Industrial engineers need not use video filming of the process anymore.

As alternatives are generated by industrial engineers to improve the process, they can use digital twin to simulate the new operation. They need not any more ask for time to experiment with the modified operation on a physical work station.  They have the cyber version of the work station at their disposal to modify the operation and observe the performance for effectiveness and efficiency.

Digital twin technology provides real-time, interactive simulations of  equipment and process at  manufacturing plants. Digital twins  can help manufacturers improve innovation, efficiencies, quality, and yield.

Digital twin technologies can intelligently simulate product,  equipment and process  during the development lifecycle of the product and process. 

What is  a Digital Twin?  

A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical entity or system.   It is a dynamic, simulated view of a physical product that is continuously updated throughout the design, build and operation lifecycle. The digital twin  evolves as the physical product progresses and matures.

The digital twin is  informed by sensors embedded in twin’s physical counterpart. The data is  fed into an IoT platform and enriched by artificial intelligence. The virtual replication of the object is presented on high-definition, immersive displays that engineers and operators can use to visualize the object’s status and interact with it in real time without disrupting production.

Teams can use a digital twin to modify product designs; and examine them through  what-if simulations without building physical prototypes.  Similarly the manufacturing processes can be modified in digital twin and can be assessed for benefits. Different views of a digital twin can be created for different  individual departments. Hence a digital twin can be created for industrial engineering departments.

The digital twins and their use in simulation based on modifications in product and process designs  are made possible by cognitive manufacturing or artificial intelligent manufacturing, which leverages cognitive computing, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), data science and advanced analytics to help organizations improve  manufacturing processes. 


Digital Modeling and Digital Thread: Key Enablers for Digital Twin Solutions

Data-enriched simulations—can be used to model and remodel the performance of plant equipment under a variety of what-if scenarios. The technique can help identify the best approaches for improving key performance indicators (KPIs) for the manufacturing process and product quality.

Asset maintenance is also improve through digital twin based data-driven modeling. Machine learning, deep learning and artificial intelligence can be applied to dynamic process monitoring and machine health data to better detect anomalies and predict failures. The approaches can transform maintenance into a proactive activity and even enable feedback loops that automate procedures to resolve maintenance issues.


Digital Thread

The digital thread is the traceable flow of data that interconnects all relevant systems and functional processes involved in a product’s lifecycle and informs the digital twin and digital modeling activities. 

The digital thread  facilitates the exchange of real-time data between sensors that are monitoring a physical object and the object’s digital twin. The digital thread yields an end-to-end perspective of issues and problems that might emerge during the manufacturing life cycle. 

PLM becomes more responsive and agile, enabling a company to produce high-quality products while increasing manufacturing efficiencies. The digital thread uses ISA-95 standards to automate communications between control and enterprise systems. The standards facilitates integration with companies that are partners in the digital twin ecosystem.

Digital twin technologies inform and guide continuous engineering practices. The tools help industrial engineers, other engineers and operators  create and refine products at all stages of the product’s lifecycle: design, build, and operate. Industrial systems engineers design and build products, processes and processing facilities. Industrial engineers improve products and processes during operations.

Manufacturers are always striving to optimize quality, efficiency and yield through industrial engineering. Industrial engineers can now use digital twin technologies to understand how potential changes in the manufacturing process might impact production outcomes and modify the manufacturing process elements  accordingly to achieve targeted improvements. 

 “Operate” refers to operation, servicing and maintenance activities. Companies can apply digital twin solutions in these contexts to increase uptime and improve operating efficiencies while making sure equipment and products function at optimum levels. 

Digital twin solutions introduce unprecedented conveniences in this use case because the technology enables technicians to “see” inside the virtual representation of a device to identify potential problems. The digital twin can also incorporate information from enterprise asset management (EAM) software and automation programs so technicians have up-to-the-minute information about a machine’s operating status, recent alarms or maintenance activities. The solution can also advise technicians on how to perform maintenance procedures for the problems they’re addressing. 

Manufacturers can enable these capabilities 



An Integrated Framework for Digital Twin Implementations


Enterprise applications: The framework makes it possible to use real-time data from enterprise applications to support decision-making on the shop floor and in corporate sales, strategy and operations offices. 

Typical applications include predictive maintenance tools, enterprise resource planning (ERP) and enterprise asset management (EAM) programs, supply chain management software, manufacturing execution systems (MES), and customer relationship management (CRM) solutions.



Implementing digital twin:

• Obtain the CAD/CAM versions of the machine or product from the team or engineering partner that produced the original design.

• Create a new digital model of the machine that considers the equipment’s mechanics, the machine’s interactions with other equipment in the facility, the product being produced, and relevant operational or enterprise software applications.

• The physical machine has to be monitored by sensors and connected to a gateway that integrates with an IoT platform. 

• Give special attention to data quality at every stage of design, build and operate.


Apply cognitive analytics and machine learning to the sensor data  to bring real-time context and characteristics to the digital twin.

• Implement a digital thread capability to facilitate information flow between data 

sources and applications.

• The solution has to  generate analytics at every stage of the lifecycle so that  improvements at each stage of a project and overall can be made

Provide displays that enable teams to view and interact with the digital model on the shop floor or from their corporate offices. 

• Use an open approach that avoids centralizing data in a proprietary system so your digital twin solution can be used by all stakeholders. 

• Conduct a proof of concept project, using one machine or one operation. Once that is in place and working, expand it to an entire manufacturing line.


Digital Twin Technologies help companies transform their operations through business and operating models that are enabled by the IoT and led by analytics to optimize efficiency, customer-centric strategies, economic growth and maximum asset productivity.

What is the Digital Twin?  

Digital twin is the ability to make a virtual representation of the physical elements and the dynamics of how an Internet of Things device operates and works. It's more than a blueprint, it's more than a schematic. It's not just a picture. It's a lot more than a pair of  ‘virtual reality’ glasses. It's a virtual representation of both the elements and the dynamics of how an Internet of Things device responds throughout its lifecycle. It can be a jet engine, a building, process on factory floor, and much, much more.

Machine Tool Industrial Engineering Using Digital Twins

Machine Tool Digital Twin with Life Cycle features

Summary

A new approach to simulate machining processes has been developed based in SAMCEF Mecano FEM solver. A digital representation of machine tools can be developed in this environment by combining structural FEM analysis, specific elements for the feed drives and control loop models. The novelty of this approach consists in the integration of new machining process models that provides the chance to evaluate machine tool performance during manufacturing operations.

VERICUT digital twin ready for lift-off

For most, CAM covers every step of the manufacturing process, including the engineering master model of the component, stage definitions associated to each operation, fixturing and tooling, cutting tools, the NC toolpath and set-up information. The ‘digital twins’ of each element allow the engineering teams within the companies to test and prove processes in a virtual environment before they are applied – error free – to the real world. With OTIF (On Time In Full) being a key performance indicator for many, it is not unusual for 90 per cent or more of the machine tools used to be fully simulated.

Digital Twins for Cutting Tools

Digital Twins for Cutting Tools

Digitalisation of tool- selection and assembly creation 

The digitalisation of  tooling item selection and tool assembly creation can help to significantly increase efficiency and machining security. Cutting tool data can  be gathered more accurately and used to create precise digital twin representations.

Creating tool assemblies is  a somewhat laborious task for the CAM programmer, where there exist several opportunities for error including  failing to select the optimum tool items. Many typical tool assemblies can take up to 1 hour to create. 

Creating a digital twin representation for a tool assembly simulation is still difficult. In order to make the most accurate possible representation of a tool assembly in a CAM system, the creator would first need to search various vendors’ catalogues, download the 3D model files, and assemble them in a CAD programme. 

Digital database of tools can help in tool selection. An integrated tool database  would allow CAM programmers to select from holders, tools and inserts for milling. Once data such as component, type of machining operation and material has been input, users can get tool recommendations and suggested cutting parameters.  

CoroPlus® ToolGuide from Sandvik Coromant is a digital cutting tool database. It uses an open Application Programming Interface (API) to connect with the CAM software.  CoroPlus ToolGuide enables users to find a suitable cutting tool for a given task. It provides  an organised list of all the suitable tools, with the most economical choice at the top. It will further show the suggested machining process and cutting data.

The list is generated by an algorithm that matches the stated task and conditions with Sandvik Coromant tools. This algorithm combines information about the different machining processes that can be used for different tasks with the product data on the tool that has  information on the machining processes to which the cutter is suited. The data of the selected tools can be sent to CoroPlus® ToolLibrary, where standard tool assemblies can be created ready for export to the CAM or simulation software.

Until recently there has been no industry standard for communicating tool data to tool libraries.  CAM vendors, machine tool builders and tool suppliers have historically had their own way to denominate and structure tool information so far. Now ISO 13399 has been created so that tool information is available in a standard format from all vendors. Sandvik Coromant, the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and other players in the metal cutting sector are behind the development of ISO 13399, which is now a globally recognised way of describing tool data.

This international standard defines tool attributes – for example length, width and radius – in a standardised way. ISO 13399  simplifies the exchange of data for cutting tools. When all tools in the industry share the same parameters and definitions, communicating tool information between software systems becomes very easy.

CoroPlus ToolLibrary is built on the ISO 13399 structure and is open to all tooling suppliers, ensuring there is no longer any need to interpret data from paper catalogues and then manually enter it into the system.

CoroPlus ToolLibrary allows CAM programmers to work with any tool vendor catalogue compliant to ISO 13399 standards and to create assemblies safe in the knowledge that all suggested items will fit together. The results can be viewed instantly in 2D and 3D, while users can also digitally store all information about the tools. Once saved, programmers simply import the tool assembly into their CAM or simulation software. All of the tool data is pre-set and a 3D model included.

Users report that this efficient and easy process makes it possible to cut the time from tool assembly to simulation by at least 50%. There is a much better chance of making the right tool choice by using digital databases of tools. Having accurate tool data, real tool shape and a precise digital twin representation will help to detect and avoid collisions  during simulation routines.

Through the latest digital solutions such as CoroPlus ToolGuide and CoroPlus ToolLibrary, it is possible to demonstrate how much easier and faster pre-machining tasks can be executed. Both are part of the wider CoroPlus® suite of connected solutions from Sandvik Coromant aimed at helping manufacturers prepare for Industry 4.0.

Integration of digital twin and deep learning in cyber-physical systems: towards smart manufacturing

Jay Lee,Moslem Azamfar,Jaskaran Singh,Shahin Siahpour

Volume2, Issue1, March 2020, Pages 34-36


Cyber-physical system (CPS) and digital twin (DT) are two essential elements  of smart manufacturing systems.  CPS enhances communication between smart manufacturing entities (sensors, actuators, control, etc.) and cyber computational resources to facilitate monitoring, data collection, perception, analysis, and real-time control of manufacturing resources. DT integrates historical and real-time data obtained from physical systems with physics-based models and advanced analytics to create digital counterparts with high integrity, awareness, and adaptability to provide predictive services to manufacturing entities. It enhances transparency and feasibility of functions in CPS and facilitates real-time monitoring, simulation, optimisation, and control of cyber-physical elements. A DT-based CPS (DT-CPS) constantly acquires, integrates, analyses, simulates, and synchronises data across multiple stages of the product life cycle to provide on-demand predictive services to different users in both physical and cyber spaces. 

Deep learning (DL) is part of a broader family of machine learning (ML) methods that have the capability to use raw data and automatically provide the representations required for various applications such as classification, regression, clustering, and pattern recognition. DL is very powerful in discovering complex structures in high-dimensional data and therefore, it has enormous applications in the manufacturing domain. It allows higher levels of abstraction without manual feature engineering and its high performance has been validated in other domains such as speech recognition, image processing, inventory management, and fault detection and diagnosis.

Every engineering area has associated industrial engineering.
Every Engineering Topic has Industrial Engineering and Productivity Aspects.
Engineering Topics and Industrial Engineering and Productivity Aspects.


What is Industrial and Systems Engineering?

IISE Definition of Industrial Engineering

Industrial and systems engineering (ISE) is concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment and energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems.

https://nraoiekc.blogspot.com/2022/03/industrial-engineering-iise-definition.html

Note: 

Industrial and systems engineering (ISE) is concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems ...   to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems.

It is result orientation. Primarily productivity orientation.

Simple Explanation by Narayana Rao K.V.S.S.

Industrial engineering is system efficiency engineering. Its main components are productivity science, productivity engineering and productivity management.

Supply chain is a system. There is supply chain IE.


Similarly every management area has associated industrial engineering.
Supply chain management area has supply chain industrial engineering function to be fulfilled by supply chain managers in association with industrial engineers.


Supply Chain Industrial Engineering - Concept

SCM


Supply chain (SC) extends from suppliers to the ultimate customer. Supply chain fulfills the order given by the customer. So we can visualize marketing activity and sales activity that gets the customer order. Once the order is received by the organization, supply chain management (SCM) activity takes over and fulfills the order, that is delivers the product or the service and collects the payment. If a return is there, SCM has to take care of that also. 

In practice, the supply chain, that is focus of a company starts from the level of suppliers the company would like to include. Some company may include tier 2 suppliers, suppliers supplying to immediate suppliers or tier 1 suppliers. The ultimate customer who buys for personal use is included in the supply chain by definition.

What are the tasks of supply chain management. Production, inspection, transport, storage, after sales service, maintenance of equipment and facilities, production planning and control, production design, process design etc. fall under supply chain management. In a way, supply chain management is extension of works management, the earlier concept that used to include supply side management also. 


SCIE


Industrial engineering is an engineering based discipline to take care of efficiency of systems. When efficiency increases, increased production of specified effectiveness or quality or customer satisfaction takes place. Hence when system efficiency increases, total effectiveness of the system goes up. Supply chain management offers scope to industrial engineers to go to supplier plants and offer IE expertise and support in the supplier development task. The two important performance dimensions of supply chain are responsiveness and efficiency. Industrial engineers focus on efficiency. As supply chain designers change engineering configurations to increase responsiveness, industrial engineers follow them to incrementally modify the configuration to increase efficiency while maintaining responsiveness for each unit supplied.

The follow three activities are relevant to include in this context.

Product Design, Process Design & Reengineering

Process design is the original design. Supply chain has original design to provide required responsiveness and attainable efficiency. Reengineering is the fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of processes to improve performance dramatically in terms of cost, quality, service, and speed based on developments in science, technology or process management. Process reengineering is about engineering redesign and is done undertaken as a major project. It would normally involve substantial capital investment as number of new facilities including machines and equipment are acquired. It is normally undertaken by the facilities engineering and process engineering (process planning) department.

Product designs are also modified by industrial engineers to reduce cost and increase productivity.

Process Analysis
Process analysis leads to process improvement. To analyze the process, documentation of the process needs to be done of the working of the existing process as taking place in the shop now. This activity of recording and analyzing existing processes is the main task undertaken by industrial engineers. It is incremental improvement of the process at planned periods to capture new developments in engineering and creative ideas to apply the existing knowledge to processes inside the company. In this exercise effort is made to involve many in the company by circulating existing process charts.  Examining  the strategic issues also can help identify opportunities for improvement apart from operational issues. A gap analysis can be done between a process’s competitive priorities and its current competitive capability requirements.

In engineering and manufacturing process, industrial engineers carry out process improvement to improve productivity. Process improvement is based on the systematic study of the activities and flows of each process to improve it. Productivity science, engineering and management activities are involved in process productivity improvement. Supply chain industrial engineering is process study and analysis in the area of supply chain management.

Process Improvement Based on Operator/Supervisor/Engineer Suggestions and Shop-floor Based Improvements

Process improvement is based on the   understanding of  the process, and digging out the details. Hence frontline operators have significant ideas to contribute to process improvement. Through seeking their suggestions, process improvement is made a continuous process and incremental improvements at small and micro level keep taking place. In Toyota Motors, Ohno gave responsibility to shop floor personnel also for process improvement apart from process planning and industrial engineering.
https://nraomtr.blogspot.com/2019/08/process-strategy-and-analysis-important.html



Supply chain industrial engineering can be done by industrial engineers from IE department or by being posted in supply chain departments. Supply chain industrial engineering can be part of supplier development activity.


Productivity and Efficiency Improvement in Supply Chain Partner activities is practiced by Toyota Motors.


Toyota Style Industrial Engineering - Waste Elimination - Ohno

"We have eliminated waste by examining available resources, rearranging machines, improving machining processes, installing autonomous systems, improving tools, analyzing transportation methods and optimizing the materials at hand for manufacturing. High production efficiency has also been maintained by preventing the recurrence of defective products, operational mistakes, and accidents, and by incorporating workers' ideas." Taiichi Ohno (P. 21)
