Numerical Methods for Industrial Engineers

It's Time to Rethink Continuous Improvement - HBR Blog Post by Ron Ashkenas



Ron Ashkenas is a managing partner of Schaffer Consulting and a co-author of The GE Work-Out (It is a six sigma related initiative) and The Boundaryless Organization. His latest book is Simply Effective.



Innovation thinker Vijay Govindarajan says, "The more you hardwire a company on total quality management, [the more] it is going to hurt breakthrough innovation. The mindset that is needed, the capabilities that are needed, the metrics that are needed, the whole culture that is needed for discontinuous innovation, are fundamentally different."


The author concludes:

Continuous improvement doesn't have to be incompatible with disruptive innovation. 



But unless we think about continuous improvement in more subtle, nuanced, and creative ways, we may force companies to choose between the two.

http://blogs.hbr.org/ashkenas/2012/05/its-time-to-rethink-continuous.html


Industrial engineering have to take note of the ideas in this blog post.

Productivity Improvement: 850% Increase in Machining Time - Sewtec Automation


July 2010
Sewtec automation had 6 CNC machines and got 140 hours of machining time for week from them. Lot of time was spent in set ups.

They shifted to HAAS Vertical machining centres with HAAs WIPS system Now there are 11 machines and they are getting 1180 hours of machining time for week.

While machines increased only by 80%, machining time increased by 850%.

Economics is used number of disciplines to make economical decision making. Politicians use economics. Business men use economics, Engineers use economics. Industrial engineers also use economics. The definition by Going specially highlights the role of economics in industrial engineering.

Industrial Engineering and Economics


Industrial engineering 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 . 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 is the inclusion of the economic and the human elements especially that differentiates industrial engineering from the older established branches of the profession (Going, 1911)

Engineering and Economics


The role of economics in engineering is highlighted by this explanation of engineering by ABET.

The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) states that engineering "is the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, experience, and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind".
