5.15 am 26 May 2017 (Indian Standard Time)
Yesterday only I returned from a trip to Pittsburgh USA. I reached home by 10.30 pm on 25 May 2017. I started from Pittsburgh at 5.50 am on 24 May 2017 (US Eastern Time) and travelled to Chicago first and from there took the Delhi direct flight operated by Air India.
On 23 May 2017, I made a presentation on Principles of Industrial Engineering in the Annual Conference of Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE). Industrial engineering as an academic discipline started in 1907 at Penn State University. A book with the title "Principles of Industrial Engineering" was authored by C.B. Going. But principles of industrial engineering were not declared so far in the industrial engineering literature. My deep thinking on industrial engineering that spanned the period 1994 to 2016, suddenly gave me the idea on 4 July 2016. I made my blog post on that day on the topic. I took one more year to go to the world's premier platform and make a presentation on the issue. This completes my 40 years association with NITIE (National Institute of Industrial Engineering, Mumbai, India). I joined NITIE in 1977 and started learning industrial engineering in more earnestness. We had industrial engineering as a subject in our undergraduate programme at JNTU College of Engineering, Kakinada. But more serious and focused learning started in 1977. So in forty years, I moved from learning to telling. On 23 May 2017, I was explaining about industrial engineering to consultants from Maynard group (now with Accenture) and to a group of students from Penn State. A man from India, going and explaining industrial engineering to pioneers of industrial engineering in the birth state of industrial engineering. I thought I shall write about my journey during this 40 year period. Thus begins this writing adventure.
I present below the video made by my daughter on the presentation. My daughter's friend took photographs of the slides with her mobile phone. I shall add them also later.
Principles of Industrial Engineering Presented by Professor K.V.S.S. Narayana Rao (Author of this blog) on 23 May 2017 at the Annual Conference of Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers in Pittsburgh, USA. Industrial Engineering is a management subject or discipline with Engineering as the foundation. Its primary application area is engineering systems. Its augmented application area is any system. INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING IS SYSTEM EFFICIENCY ENGINEERING AND HUMAN EFFORT ENGINEERING (Definition by Narayana Rao - Published in Udyog Pragati, Jounral of NITIE in 2006)

Principles of Industrial Engineering
An explanation says principles are scientific theories or cause and effect relationships. They are of permanent nature until revised due to empirical studies and identification of new facts.
Methods are general approaches that use the scientific principle or principles for beneficial use. They are also of permanent nature.
Tools are contemporaneous ways of implementing methods.
Basic Principles of Industrial Engineering - Narayana Rao
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.
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 at Kakinada where I went for a holiday to celebrate my birthday and with mother, brothers and sisters and other relatives). The principles were developed by Narayana Rao based on principles of scientific management by F.W. Taylor)

As a part of the Fellow Course on developments in industrial engineering, I focused on the development of value engineering (product industrial engineering) and grinding (a machining process under process industrial engineering). The focus on grinding led to me to do a detailed study of metal cutting theory and process planning. From this effort, I developed the description of machine shop process industrial engineering. The role of focus areas of industrial engineering proposed by me was highlighted.
Machine Shop Process Industrial Engineering
Productivity Science
Productivity Science of Machining - Stephenson - Agapiou
IE Measurements
Process Industrial Engineering - Process Alternatives and Economic Analysis of IE Proposed Alternatives
IEOR - Optimization in Machining Processes
IE Statistics Optimization - Six Sigma Method
