Industrial engineering in a broad way is engineering redesign carried out in response to the productivity measurements carried out during operations. The three important productivity measurements are cost, time and productivity.  Basic engineering solutions (prototypes and general equipment and devices) are created by using the developments in engineering sciences like mechanics.  Industrial engineers redesign them based on the data generated during industry working.  The data generated includes requirements of  employees, their comfort, safety and health 

Cost and productivity considerations dominated industrial engineering field during its evolution. But very early in the development of industrial engineering discipline other areas like factory building design, factory layout design, industry locationi etc. were made part of industrial engineering.

You can see all the focus areas mentioned below were specified as requirements in Boeing - Industrial Engineering Job Description.   View the video above for more explanation of each focus area.
