Industrial Engineering - Productivity Improvement - Process Improvement - Product Redesign - Continuous Improvement
Industrial engineering is improvement in various elements of engineering operations to increase productivity. Along with engineering elements, industrial engineers evaluate and improve many other elements also as they are responsible for productivity and cost of items produced in a process. Through assignments of improving productivity and efficiency of information technology and software engineering processes, industrial engineers specializing in IT were given responsibility for business processes also. Thus industrial engineers with focus on various branches of engineering provide their services to companies and society to improve various elements of the products and processes on a continuous basis over the product life cycle. They are active in engineering or production-maintenance-service-logistic processes and business processes.
Productivity improvement always focuses on quality and flexibility issues as productivity improvement should not lead to any deterioration in quality or flexibility. Delivery and cost are always at the core of industrial engineering. Thus when QFCD paradigm came, that is attention to quality, flexibility, cost and delivery became prominent, many industrial engineers were given the responsibility of managing this function of continuous improvement.

Retired Chairman of the Board and CEO, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.
He is a licensed professional engineer (PE) and graduated with a BS degree in industrial engineering from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 1970. He has also received several honorary doctorates.
He is a senior member of the Institute of Industrial Engineers.
Charles O. Holliday, Jr., is the former chairman of the board of directors (1999–2009) and chief executive officer (1998–2008) of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co., where he began his career in 1970 as an engineer.
Under Mr. Holliday’s direction, DuPont established the mission to achieve sustainable growth—increasing shareholder and societal value while decreasing the company’s environmental footprint. The company had a three-part strategy: deliver new products through the power of integrated science, vigorously pursue knowledge intensity in all businesses, and significantly increase productivity by using Six Sigma methodology. He coauthored Walking the Talk, which details the business case for sustainable development and corporate responsibility.

2004 Six Sigma in Dupont - $700 million benefits
https://www.isixsigma.com/industries/chemicals/dupont-six-sigma/
Fixed cost and working capital productivity benefits were each about $400 million, surpassing their $300 million targets in year 2012
http://www2.dupont.com/Media_Center/en_CA/assets/downloads/01-22-13_4Q12_and_Year_End_Earnings_w_statements_FINAL.pdf
"Science-powered innovation is critical to DuPont's success, and one R&D metric the company monitors is sales from new products. This year, DuPont is on track for 30 percent of sales, or about $9 billion, from products that were introduced within the past four years. Productivity also is core to DuPont's success, and the company is ahead of plan to deliver $400 million each in fixed cost and working capital productivity this year." Ellen Kullman at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Industries Conference during 2011
