Industrial engineering is improvement of engineering elements in products, processes and facilities. In addition industrial engineers improve elements of human effort. Productivity improvement is thus achieved by improved of engineering and human elements and it is measured by element times in operations/processes. Productivity improvement results in reduction of element times and this leads to reduction in cost. Industrial engineering emerged out of the idea advocated by F.W. Taylor "Elementary rate fixing department."
Reasons for Excess Work Content - Cost in the Output of Engineering Processes
Product Design Inefficiencies in the elements - materials, material form, design rules, tolerances, surface finish, coating etc. Product Industrial Engineering
Process Design/Plan Inefficiencies in elements - machine, work holding, cutting tool material, cutting tool geometry, cutting parameters, cutting fluids, machine lubricant, communication of process plan to operators, work piece location for input, work piece location and system of disposing finished piece, inspection gauges and method of inspection, safety accessories for operator, set up time etc.
Process Industrial Engineering
Facilities Design Inefficiencies in elements - work station layout, plant layout, transportation methods, loading and unloading from transport equipment, delays in transportation, etc.
Inefficiencies in elements of human effort - wastes of physical activity, lack of motivation, beliefs, values, health, fatigue, communication, leadership, supervision, training, development, salary compensation etc. Human Effort Industrial Engineering
Reasons for excess work content - ILO Work Study Book
The reasons for excess work content were depicted as a diagram in ILO Work Study Book.
The same is modified in the book by Sakamoto
