INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING PHILOSOPHY
I would like to state the philosophy of industrial engineering as "engineering systems can be redesigned or improved and installed periodically for productivity increase or improvement." The primary drivers of productivity improvement are developments in basic engineering disciplines and developments in industrial engineering (developments in productivity science, productivity engineering and productivity management). The additional drivers are developments in related disciplines, for example, economics, mathematics, statistics, optimization techniques, ergonomics, psychology and sociology etc. - Narayana Rao, 1 April 2021.
Engineering developments are continuously monitored by IEs for their productivity effect and productivity engineering is developed appropriately. Thus engineering and industrial engineering grow together and help the society in becoming resource efficient.

Industrial Engineering Philosophy - Delaney
At the core of Taylor’s philosophy was a belief that any job could be studied, and that best practices could be learned and taught. If one man could make three pairs of shoes in a day and another only two, why?
Taylor said that managers could learn from a skilled craftsman and encapsulate for others. In Taylor’s words, management, planning and control of work had “… laws as exact and clearly defined … as the fundamental principles of engineering …”
Taylor was intently focused on “maximum prosperity,” for business as well as workers which he called “THE principle object of management.” Maximum prosperity meant both lower costs for businesses and higher wages for laborers. And the recipe for achieving both was the elimination of inefficiencies through development of productivity science or waste elimination.
The development of science related to productivity improvement, and modifying engineering and management systems to utilize productivity science in engineering activities and organizations are the major activities of industrial engineers. We can say productivity science, productivity engineering and productivity management are the major components of industrial engineering. - Narayana Rao.
