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.

Lean Leadership
March 24, 2014

Renault-Nissan Consulting’s Managing Consultant Dean Simpson shares his view on Lean Leadership principles.

Lean principles

What are the key concepts of Lean thinking?

A clear focus on everyone meeting the external customer’s requirement
A clear definition of internal/supplier relationships

All value-adding activities in the organisation should be improved
All non-value adding activities should be removed
A faster process is a better process
Effective measurement and analysis of processes
https://renaultnissanconsulting.wordpress.com/2014/03/24/lean-leadership/

Where is industrial engineering in Renault's lean?

All value-adding activities in the organisation should be improved
All non-value adding activities should be removed
A faster process is a better process
Effective measurement and analysis of processes

All the above four are achieved by IE methods and techniques

RENAULT CHOOSES DASSAULT SYSTÈMES FULL V6 PLM TO IMPROVE THE COMPANY’S PRODUCTIVITY

Renault and Dassault Systèmes pioneer ground-breaking approach: Global online Collaboration to boost Innovation. Renault has selected Dassault Systèmes’ V6 PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) as its new global product development solution, in order to improve productivity.

Renault has already started to implement the ENOVIA V6 based collaborative platform and CATIA V6, and will rapidly move to the full DS V6 portfolio to enable the company and its suppliers to collaborate on the creation of new product designs in real time.

Renault will deploy V6 PLM in all geographies and throughout all brands. The online access to the digital mock-up (DMU) will lead to a simplification of the collaboration between engineering sites. This use of a unique, collaborative interface for all developers worldwide supports simultaneous product/process engineering to get it ‘right the first time’.
