18A. Productivity Management has to be part of Industrial Engineering Curriculum

Every industrial engineer is a productivity manager. 

He has to plan for productivity and achieve productivity improvement year after year.

As a part of productivity management, he has to assess management actions of the organization for effect on productivity and has to recommend changes if they have an adverse effect on productivity or if there is scope for increasing productivity by modifying them.

The bottleneck conundrum


Breaking up logjams can be key for process plant production


By Peter L. King


If you are an industrial engineer trying to make your operation lean, you must understand bottlenecks and how to manage them. One of the primary objectives of lean is to achieve smooth continuous flow of material through the process, and bottlenecks can inhibit flow, cause unnecessary inventories and prevent throughput from matching customer demand (takt). So in order to make progress toward lean goals, bottleneck resources must be identified, managed and improved. From a financial point of view, effective management of bottlenecks can reduce inventory and operating cost, increasing throughput, revenue and profitability.

Why Focus on Productivity and  Productivity Management?

Chapter of Productivity Management in Engineering Organizations - Online Book



For a Society or  a nation to raise the standard of living of its population, it must strive to maximize the return from its resources or improve productivity so that the economy can grow and sustain a better quality of life.  (ILO, Introduction to Work Study).

The management of an enterprise is responsible for seeing that the enterprise resources ... are combined in the best possible way to achieve the highest productivity. (ILO, Introduction to Work Study).

The Japanese economy successfully weathered the oil crises of the seventies without suffering serious damage ... This success has been attributed primarily to Japan's high productivity. (Shigeo Shingo)

Productivity is a long-term survival issue. Unless a company focuses on productivity as a key
ingredient of their corporate philosophy, it won't survive. (Ian Rolland and Robert Johnson)

Companies must plan for productivity. Productivity does not just happen. It requires a strategy that is comprehensive, long-range, and monitored. It requires rational, purposeful behavior on the part of everyone.  (Ian Rolland and Robert Johnson)

We can easily state that productivity is the only source of real economic growth and progress. A nation must maintain competitive levels of productivity in key industries to even maintain its standard of living in what is becoming an increasingly competitive world market. (D. Scott Sink)

The manufacturing sector of the Japanese economy has led the world in productivity growth rates for almost 30 years. In a number of key industries, Japan has far surpassed the United States in absolute levels of productivity. One factor contributing to Japan's success is its focus on improving competitive capability, efficiency, and "striking power" in strategically selected target industries.  (D. Scott Sink)

Japan's government and industry cooperate to manage industrial policy strategically. As part of the strategy, growth, productivity, quality, and innovation are managed systematically in target industries. (D. Scott Sink)

Innovations by Industrial Engineers - Recent LinkedIn Posts on Innovations

 

Industrial engineers have to innovate. They have to identify and implement new engineering ideas and products in their processes and operations. They have to use creativity to maximize the output from engineering ideas currently in use in the company as well as new ideas that are now adopted.

What are some of the recent posts on innovation on LinkedIn




Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple and a pioneer of the personal computer revolution, shares candid perspectives on innovation, intellectual property, leadership, and collaboration, shaped by real successes, failures, and bold ideas.


His personal stories and practical insights offer a fresh perspective on how innovation comes to life, not just as ideas, but through the way we develop, protect, and scale them.

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7447663848331079681/


Innovation is a team effort. 

Here, engineers from countries around the world come together to brainstorm new ideas, create boundary-pushing solutions and redefine industry standards. See Chief Engineer Lena’s thoughts on being part of an international engineering team and explore engineering here



Defining INNOVATION 

Innovation is not just a new idea.

It is a valuable idea.

Barbara Salopek makes a powerful distinction:

Not all ideas are innovation.
Not even all patents are innovation.

Innovation happens when an idea:
• Creates real value
• Solves a meaningful problem
• Works in the real world
• Generates impact (and often revenue)

Innovation is not about the idea.  It is about the value it creates.

Watch a presentation here:



The culture shift that fuels innovation at work





Interesting Picture Presentation
Exploring the journey of innovation through New Product Development and Re-engineering—where ideas evolve into impactful solutions and continuous improvement drives success.


Mette Storvestre

PhD Corporate Entrepreneurship



Yes, Incremental Innovation Matters

In my PhD research, one insight kept resurfacing: In mature organisations, incremental innovation, not only what Jens Stoltenberg once called a “moon landing,” that truly moves the needle.

McKinsey’s 2022 data is clear:
82%+ of revenue growth come from everyday improvements
12%+ from adjacent innovation (new markets, new tech)
6%+ from radical innovation

How to build a real competitive advantage?
Embracing the human side of innovation by including all innovation modes and building a culture where continuous improvements from the many are recognised and valued. That’s where a substantial growth opportunity lies, and where everyday work becomes more meaningful for more people.

April - C.B. Going Month of Industrial Engineering and Productivity Management

 C.B. Going developed the concept of industrial engineering through various articles, lectures and a published book in 1911.

Industrial Engineering - The Concept - Developed by Going in 1911


What is industrial engineering?


Industrial engineering is the applied science of management. It directs the efficient conduct of manufacturing, construction, transportation, or even commercial enterprises of any undertaking, indeed, in which human labor is directed to accomplishing any kind of work.

Emphasis: It directs the efficient conduct of manufacturing, construction, transportation and other areas of engineering related work.

It is of very recent origin. It is only just emerging from the formative period. Its elements have been proposed during the past one or two decades. The conditions that have brought into being this new applied science, this new branch of engineering, grew out of the rise and enormous expansion of the manufacturing system.

Emphasis: Elements of Industrial Engineering - The best way of accomplishing elements of operations/processes using machines and men. Many elements are common among operations/processes. Industrial engineering has to measure and develop the best way of doing a work element based on various criteria. Time and cost are two important measures.

Industrial engineering has drawn upon mechanical engineering, upon economics, sociology, psychology, philosophy, accountancy, to fuse from these older sciences a distinct body of science of its own. It provides guidelines or direction to the work of operatives, using the equipment provided by the engineer, machinery builder, and architect.

The cycle of operations which the industrial engineer directs starts with money which is converted into raw materials and labor (machine and man); raw materials and labor are converted into finished product or services of some kind; finished product, or service, is converted back into money. The difference between the first money and the last money is (in a very broad sense) the gross profit of the operation. The starting level (that is, the cost of raw materials and labor) and the final level (the price obtainable for finished product) these two levels are generally fixed by competition and market conditions. Profit of the operating cycle varies with the volume passing from level, to level. Higher volumes lead to greater profits. But with the efficiency of the conversions between these levels also determines the profits. In the case of a hydroelectric power-plant, there are conversion losses like  hydraulic, mechanical  and electrical. In industrial enterprises the conversion losses are in commercial, manufacturing, administrative and human operations. It is with the efficiency of these latter conversions that industrial engineering is concerned.

Emphasis: Industrial engineering is concerned with technical losses and losses due to human operations (manufacturing and human operations).

The central purpose of  industrial engineer  is efficient and economical production. He is concerned not only with the direction of the great sources of power in nature, but with the direction of these forces as exerted by machinery, working upon materials, and operated by men. It is the inclusion of the economic and the human elements especially that differentiates industrial engineering from the older established branches of the profession. To put it in another way : The work of the industrial engineer not only covers technical counsel and superintendence of the technical elements of large enterprises, but extends also over the management of men and the definition and direction of policies in fields that the financial or commercial man has always  considered exclusively his own.



Emphasis: The central purpose of  industrial engineer  is efficient and economical production. He has to do productivity engineering and productivity management based on productivity science.

March - F.W. Taylor Month of Industrial Engineering and Productivity Management



What is industrial engineering?

Industrial engineering is concerned with improving the productivity of engineering systems and processes. The productivity improvement has to take care of employee comfort and fatigue. So it has human focus and orientation along with engineering orientation. Productivity leads to cost reduction and hence, entrepreneurs and managers can reduce prices and increase revenues and profits. In the process, employees get more income. Hence consumers, employees, entrepreneurs & capitalists and society at large is benefitted by effective industrial engineering practice. Industrial engineers are very important professionals.

Scientific Management - Basis for Industrial Engineering


Basic Principles of Industrial Engineering


1. Develop science for each element of a man - machine system's work related to efficiency and productivity.
2. Engineer methods, processes and operations to use the laws related to the work of machines, man, materials and other resources.
3. Select or assign workmen based on predefined aptitudes for various types of man - machine work.
4. Train workmen, supervisors, and engineers in the new methods, install various modifications related to the machines that include productivity improvement devices and ensure that the expected productivity is realized.
5. Incorporate suggestions of operators, supervisors and engineers in the methods redesign on a continuous basis.
6. Plan and manage productivity at system level.
(The principles were developed on 4 June 2016 (During Birthday break of 2016 - 30 June 2016 to 7 July 2016).

The principles were developed by Narayana Rao based on principles of scientific management by F.W. Taylor)

Principles of Scientific Management


 The managers following scientific management thought do the following things.

First. They develop a science for each element of a man's work, which replaces the old rule-of.-thumb method.

Second. They scientifically select and then train, teach, and develop the workman, whereas in the past he chose his own work and trained himself as best he could.

Third. They heartily cooperate with the men so as to insure all of the work being done in accordance with the principles of the science which has been developed.

Fourth. There is an almost equal division of the work and the responsibility between the management and the workmen. The management take over all work for which they are better fitted than the workmen, while in the past almost all of the work and the greater part of the responsibility were thrown upon the men.
(From THE PRINCIPLES OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT - F.W.Taylor)

Innovation with Efficiency - Industrial Engineering - Developing New Products, Markets and Processes with Efficiency Evaluation and Improvement

Have you read the book ?

Ten Types of Innovation: The Discipline of Building Breakthroughs
Larry Keeley, Helen Walters, Ryan Pikkel, Brian Quinn
John Wiley & Sons, 15 Jul 2013 

Using a list of more than 2,000 successful innovations, including Cirque du Soleil, early IBM mainframes, the Ford Model-T, and many more, the authors applied a proprietary algorithm and determined ten meaningful groupings—the Ten Types of Innovation—that provided insight into innovation. The Ten Types of Innovation explores these insights to diagnose patterns of innovation within industries, to identify innovation opportunities, and to evaluate how firms are performing against competitors. The framework has proven to be one of the most enduring and useful ways to start thinking about transformation.

Details how you can use these innovation principles to bring about meaningful—and sustainable—growth within your organization

The Ten Types of Innovation concept has influenced thousands of executives and companies around the world since its discovery in 1998. The Ten Types of Innovation is the first book explaining how to implement it.


Ten Types of Innovation

Ten Types of Innovation framework (developed by Larry Keeley) categorizes innovation into three key areas—Configuration, Offering, and Experience—to move beyond just product improvements. It helps businesses analyze competitors, identify gaps, and combine at least five types to create sustainable, hard-to-copy competitive advantages. 

Configuration (Focus on internal workings)
Profit Model: Innovative ways to convert offerings into cash.
Network: Leveraging partnerships and connections.
Structure: Organizing company assets, processes, and talent.
Process: Developing proprietary or superior methods to do work. 

Offering (Focus on product/service) 
Product Performance: Enhancing value, features, and quality.
Product System: Creating complementary products or services that connect. 

Experience (Focus on customer-facing elements)
Service: Enhancing the value, functionality, and perceived quality of an offering.
Channel: How offerings are delivered to customers.
Brand: Representing the business in a way that creates recognition and preference.
Customer Engagement: Fostering compelling interactions and connections.

A New Charter for Industrial Engineers - Ideas of Jack Byrd, Jr. and L.Ted Moore in 1986

This article is primarily based on the chapter with the same title in the book 'Strategic Planning for the Industrial Engineering Function' authored by Jack Byrd, Jr. and L.Ted Moore and published by Van Nostrand Reinhold Company, New York in 1986.

The major thesis of the book is that industrial engineers can contribute to strategic planning of the function of the company. Some industrial engineers can move into strategic planning function from IE Department and the strategic planning department can give some projects to IE Department. Chapter 23 of the book is titled "A New Charter For Industrial Engineers" and this chapter focuses in IE completely.

The chapter starts with the statement that Frederick Taylor believed that management of labor resources could be put on a scientific basis supported by experimental studies and measurement and such an approach would increase productivity, drive down costs of production and would benefit both the capitalist and worker alike. The organizations of cost of production of items will come down and workers would get more wages.

According to Byrd & Moore, many industrial engineers are involved in maintaining direct labor standards and doing other low-productivity clerical work. Industrial engineering is falling into systems maintenance trap. After a burst of creative productivity enhancement of systems, IE department is rewarded with maintaining the systems and thus a highly productive resource is directed toward a much less productive work.

IEs have to take initiative to take control of costs and improvement of productivity. They must propose projects for their department that will make solid contribution to profitability. They have to take responsibility for the projects they propose. To identify and propose strategic projects, industrial engineers have to become familiar with some of the common approaches to corporate strategy and apply them to the development of IE department strategy.

Byrd & Moore suggested the use of product portfolio model to allocate IE resources to products. They advocate  allocating bulk of IE resources to "Star Category" products to reduce their costs aggressively.

Industrial engineers have to speak the language of strategy, the competitive advantage of the company and demonstrate how their productivity improvement efforts are in tune with the overall direction of the business.


Measures of Productivity for Industrial Engineering


Byrd & Moore observed that IE profession has done little to measure its own productivity. Even though one hears statements like, "an industrial engineer should save the company x times his salary in any given year", one does not come across evidence that the IE professionals are serious about and measure their contribution in a formal manner. They suggest that IE departments have to develop documentation for their studies and projects showing the cost reduction achieved in relation to the resources invested and he gives the opinion that such a documentation will help the IE departments in expanding the charter.

Industrial engineering department has to show commitment to the realization of productivity improvement and cost reduction goals. Industrial engineering department has to set productivity, efficiency and cost reduction goals and accept the responsibility for implementation of the goals. Industrial engineering department has to think in terms of activities and projects and they have to be taken up based on potential payoffs rather than on the basis of tradition.  Industrial engineers have to become more aggressive in seeking out new projects. Managements are willing to grant more projects provided IEs present their case appropriately.

Byrd & Moore expressed concern that there is stiff resistance to the project orientation of IE department. Existing personnel are comfortable with clerical orientation. But a transformation to project oriented, cost reduction and efficiency improvement is required from the IE Departments to raise high in the contribution record of the organization.


My proposal is that IE department is organized into three sections
1. Human Effort Engineering
2. Systems Efficiency Engineering
3. Systems Design Management, Installation, and Improvement Management.

All three sections can be allotted projects and measured on the results of projects. Two sections have major focus on engineering aspect. The third section has focus on management design, installation and improvement. Industrial engineers from human effort engineering section and system efficiency engineering section take part in the activities being managed by the management section as per the tasks allotted to them in relation to the studies and projects conducted and completed by them.

What are functions of Industrial Engineering (IE)?


Industrial engineering has the following functions:

Research in Industrial Engineering
Productivity Science
Productivity Engineering
Productivity Management
Communication, Training and Implementation
Productivity Measurement
Review



Research in Industrial Engineering


Industrial engineering has emerged out of shop management and scientific management developed and promoted by F.W. Taylor. Development of science related to production systems or work systems consisting of machines and men is the foundation for this subject. Hence research is an important function of industrial engineering. Industrial engineers are to be taught scientific research method and process so that they can understand the research papers published by IE researchers and also undertake research related to local applications.


Productivity Science


Research propositions and the tests of research propositions are to be consolidated into scientific theories related to various issues of interest in the field of industrial engineering.

Some Lessons

Productivity Science of Machining - Taylor to Current Times

Productivity science of human effort - Development of Science in Mechanic Arts - F.W. Taylor

Productivity Science of Human Effort - F.W. Gilbreth


Productivity Engineering

Productivity engineering is engineering or engineering changes to machines, facilities, products and processes to increase productivity.

Redesign of engineering processes to make them more productive is productivity engineering. The two important outputs of engineering processes are products or services and processes to produce those goods and services. Redesign of human actions also is part of productivity engineering. Productivity engineering is driven forward by productivity science. Improvement iterations take place within productivity engineering itself due to inventions taking place.

F.W. Taylor who is the father of productivity engineering of processes and L.D. Miles, father of productivity engineering of products strongly stated that productivity engineering has to maintain the effectiveness or quality of the basic engineering product or process designed by the design engineering team. Industrial engineering as theory and practice does not in any reduce the effectiveness or quality of the systems they are redesigning.

Productivity Management


Productivity management consists of activities of industrial engineers in the field of management. These activities have two objectives. One objective is to assess various management policies, programs and processes for the impact on productivity of engineering processes. Where they do not have desirable effects, industrial engineers have to propose redesign of them.

The second objective is the management of productivity in organizations. Industrial engineers are responsibility for managing the productivity. They have to plan for productivity improvement, organize for it, acquire resources for it, executive productivity improvement projects and activities and control them to achieve the planned goals.

Productivity science gives impetus for developing management methods that increase productivity. Thus productivity science is an input to productivity engineering and productivity management.


Productivity Management Module of Industrial Engineering Online Course Notes




Communication, Training and Implementation


Industrial engineering is carried out as staff activity. The redesigns of the IE projects are to be communicated to various persons in the organization to establish its feasibility and also get them approved by competent authorities for funding. Then, industrial engineers have to train various persons in the new methods. Even though, they are a staff function, they have to be part of implementation teams and their work is not over till implementation is done.

Productivity Measurement


Measurement of productivity is an important function. After productivity improvement projects are implemented, measurements have to validate the improvement. Also past measurements or new measurements become the basis for planning productivity improvement programs.

Industrial Engineering Data and Measurements

Review


Based on the productivity measurements, a review of situation is to be made to take decisions regarding future efforts in the area of productivity. The results of review become the sources for further research, productivity engineering and productivity management activities.

Objectives of Basic Engineering and Industrial Engineering


Engineering has two aims: 
To develop effective products and processes that satisfy customers. 
To develop efficient products and processes that give profits and satisfaction to the producers (both managers-capitalists and employees). 
Industrial engineering is focused on efficiency while the functional engineers are focused on effectiveness. 
Both engineering streams have big data bases of knowledge, information and data that are to be used to do the design and execution work successfully to the satisfaction of customers.



Focus Areas of Industrial Engineering

Productivity Science: Science developed for each element of machine operation and each element of human tasks in industry.
Productivity Science - Determinants of Productivity

Industrial Engineering Strategy: 
Industrial engineering is profit engineering. If a company is not employing industrial engineering, it is unnecessarily foregoing profits inherent in the products that it developed and designed to the performance satisfaction of good number of users. Profit conscious managers and owners have to understand and employ industrial engineering to achieve the full profit potential of their products. Certain strategic decisions related to industrial engineering function are to be taken by top management of the organization as part of strategic plan of the organization. Certain strategic decisions are to be taken by the Chief Industrial Engineer. These decisions are part of the focus area of industrial engineering strategy.

Facilities Industrial Engineering:
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.

Product Industrial Engineering: Redesign of products to reduce cost and increase value keeping the quality intact.
Product Industrial Engineering


Process Industrial Engineering: Redesign of processes to reduce cost and increase value keeping the quality intact.
Process Industrial Engineering

Industrial Engineering Optimization: Optimizing industrial engineering solutions created in Product Industrial Engineering and Process Industrial Engineering.
Operations Research - An Efficiency Improvement Tool for Industrial Engineers

Industrial Engineering Statistics: Using statistical tools like data description, sampling and design of experiments in industrial engineering activity.
Statistics and Industrial Engineering

Industrial Engineering Economics: Economic analysis of industrial engineering projects.
Engineering Economics is an Efficiency Improvement Tool for Industrial Engineers


Human Effort Industrial Engineering: Redesign of products and processes to increase satisfaction and reduce discomfort and other negative consequence to operators.
Motion Study - Human Effort Industrial Engineering

Productivity Measurement: Various measurements done by industrial engineers in industrial setting to collect data, analyze data and use the insights in redesign: Product Industrial Engineering and Process Industrial Engineering.
Industrial Engineering Data and Measurements

Productivity Management: Management undertaken by industrial engineers to implement Product Industrial Engineering and Process Industrial Engineering. Management processes industrial engineering is also part of productivity management.
Productivity Management

Applied Industrial Engineering: Application of industrial engineering in new technologies, existing technologies, engineering business and industrial processes and other areas.

Productivity Science

 “Productivity science is scientific effort, that in any specific work situation, identifies the appropriate philosophy, culture, systems, processes, technology, methods and human physical action and behavior and elements of each of them,  that will maximize positive (social, environmental and economic) outcomes relative to the resources consumed.” - Narayana Rao.
