Applied Industrial Engineering - Industrial Engineering 4.0 - Online Course Module

IE in New Technologies - IE with New Technologies

Applying Industrial Engineering principles, methods, techniques and tools in new technologies is termed as Applied Industrial Engineering in New Technologies.

We have Applied IE in existing technologies.

Industrial Engineering 4.0 - IE in Industry 4.0 Engineering Systems and Processes

Industrial Engineering 4.0 is Applied Industrial Engineering.

The main focus of applied industrial engineering has to be Industrial Engineering 4.0 now.

Bela Gold, Rosegger, Gerhard. and Boylan, Myles G. Jr. (1990)

"Technological advances have come to be recognized as probably the most important source of improvements in the productivity and competitive strength of industries and, consequently, of gains in national economic growth, standards of living, and economic security."

Gold, Bela. Rosegger, Gerhard. and Boylan, Myles G. Jr. (1990) Evaluating Technological Innovations, D.C. Heath, Lexington, p.3.

Applied Industrial Engineering

The "Applied Industrial Engineering" term was used by Shafeek et al. [2014] . Rao [2017] stated in Principles of Industrial Engineering that "Industrial engineering defined as system efficiency engineering has application in all branches of engineering. Productivity improvement is needed in engineering systems of all branches and therefore industrial engineering needs to be used in all branches of engineering. It needs to be taught in all engineering branches."

New engineering areas like biotechnology and nanotechnology are growing. Productivity improvement is an essential activity in all technology systems. Industrial engineering programme designers have to answer the question: Is there a need to start education in a new technology now in the IE programme? But industrial engineering professionals have to apply the current industrial engineering theory and practice to the new technologies. We all know presently, industry 4.0 is the revolution in all engineering disciplines. In this context, the paper by Sackey and Bester [2016] exploring the implications of industry 4.0 for industrial engineering is a laudable exercise.

What are the process steps in applied industrial engineering?

An initial proposal.

Monitor - The technology environment for identifying new technologies.
Explore - The selected technology
