Total Innovation Management and Total Industrial Engineering
Since the 1990s, a tide of new scientific and technological revolutions featuring the universal application of IT technologies and the Internet has led to a fundamental reform of the environment for survival and development, operating objectives and models of enterprises. In the networking environment, the information interaction capability has been greatly improved, thus enabling information to break through space-time limitations and providing enterprises with good material and technical support for the implementation of total innovation management (TIM).
It is embodied in the following aspects: Information can be distributed and transferred among different regions, functional departments and positions, and all employees within an organization, thus providing employees involved in research, development, production, manufacturing and management with information and relevant knowledge necessary for implementing total innovation.
Information can also be sufficiently shared with external suppliers, consumers, partners and competitors at a lower cost, thus technically supporting the innovation based on rapid and continuous integration of internal and external resources of an enterprise, even its global resources.
To remain competitive in the market, enterprises have to respond to the overall demands of consumers faster than their competitors, alter the existing innovation management modes, realize the synergy effects between technology and non-technology elements, and fully mobilize employees from all departments such as production, manufacturing, marketing and services to innovate whenever and wherever possible. Only in such a manner can enterprises improve the efficiency of developing new products and producing them, continuously expand their market shares and obtain great profits.
In the framework of total innovation management, total-round innovation is the content, total-involvement innovation is the subject, and total space-time innovation is the form of realization.
Haier's Rui-Min Zhang said, “... the world is my research and development department”. Each of Haier's research and development centers is required to rely on the local advantages to carry out their own innovation, committed to research and development of industry-leading products.
The business mode in the Internet era requires zero distance from users. The “end to end” distance has to be zero. One end refers to internal employees, while the other end is users. For this reason, Haier uses the term “user” instead of “customer.” There is similarity between two words, but the meanings are very different. Customers may only have one transaction with the enterprise, who are just the consumers of the product terminal, while users will participate in the design and experience of the product, and they become the designers, producers and consumers of the product. Haier attaches great importance to user innovation and puts forward the concepts such as “user stickiness”, “user multiplier”, etc., hoping to promote the improvement of Haier's innovation capability with the help of the wisdom of users. Among them, Haier's COSMOPlat is an intelligent manufacturing system focusing on user innovation and user value,.

Industrial engineering departments have to adopt the above thinking of total innovation management. Industrial engineering is also innovation in product development and design, process development and improvement, human work and machine work improvement, machines improvement and layout improvement etc.
All engineering technicians, foremen and supervisors, engineers and engineering managers are to he involved in IE. It has to occur in all products and processes. It has to occur in all areas of a factory and in all factories across the globe. Industrial engineers have to promote total innovation management.

ISE
Industrial and systems engineering (ISE) is defined as a discipline concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment and energy. It draws upon specialised 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 (IISE 2024).
The main components of ISE knowledge that reflect a categorisation of pertinent industrial and systems engineering theories and models include (1) work design & measurement, (2) operations research & analysis, (3) engineering economic analysis, (4) facilities engineering & energy management, (5) quality & reliability engineering, (6) ergonomics & human factors, (7) operations engineering & management, (8) supply chain management, (9) engineering management, (10) safety, (11) information engineering, (12) design and manufacturing engineering, (13) product design & development, and 14) system design & engineering.
