Applied Industrial Engineering - IE in Various Branches of Industrial Engineering

Industrial engineering is primarily an engineering discipline with productivity orientation. It major application is in incremental improvement of processes that give benefit within one year and hence it became closely allied with management in increasing profits, reducing costs and providing the company with the potential to reduce prices and increase profit. Hence Taiichi Ohno said industrial engineering is profit engineering. If a company is not using IE, it is losing an opportunity.

The application of industrial engineering is in processes of all engineering branches. Engineering activities like product design, production, maintenance of machines in factories, and service of consumer items are important engineering activities. In addition material handling and storage also involve engineering. Unfortunately, industrial engineering profession has not given enough attention to makes its presence in various engineering branches visible and systemic. Only limited attempts were done to create textbooks that discuss IE in specific engineering branches.

A Good Example of Applied IE - Improving Processes using New Technologies

Industry 4.0 Technology and Manual Assembly

By Amanda Aljinovic

March 15, 2023

Digital work instructions, cobots, radio frequency identification (RFID), augmented reality (AR) and other Industry 4.0 technologies can help. These technologies are designed to provide cognitive and physical support to people on the assembly line.  How can engineers decide when such technologies are a worthwhile investment?

In a case study, industry 4.0 technologies application in a gear-box assembly line was studied.

Seven Industry 4.0 technologies were considered: RFID, digital work instructions, pick-to-light technology, AR, cobots, automated guided vehicles, and ergonomic manipulators.

Four quantitative criteria were used to rank the technologies: total investment cost, worker effort, workspace utilization and cycle time reduction. 

RFID is one of the most important technologies for identifying and tracking assemblies in a production system. It provides precise information about the locations or states of goods in real-time and serves as a capstone for the establishment of the IoT within production.

Digital instructions are proven to reduce the assembly time and errors with complex assemblies.

Pick-to-light systems use LEDs on racks or shelves to show assemblers where to pick parts for an assembly and how many to retrieve. The lights guide assemblers through each step in the process. These systems are often connected with warehouse management systems.

AR also offers the possibility of significant improvement in cycle time, error rate, mental strain, worker focus.

Cobots are particularly desirable when people are confronted with heavy loads and repetitive, tedious activities. People can share the same workspace with the cobots, allowing managers to allocate tasks in a more flexible, efficient way.

AGVs can eliminate the need for people to transport parts and assemblies to and from the assembly line.

The ergonomic manipulator is an electronic device developed to improve ergonomics at the fifth assembly workstation. The device reduces the amount of physical effort needed to handle heavy components that must be mounted to the gearbox.

This article is a summary of a research paper co-authored by Aljinovic, Nikola Gjeldum, Ph.D., Boženko Bilic, Ph.D., and Marko Mladineo, Ph.D.

1. Additive Manufacturing Productivity

Assembly Design Framework for Additive Manufacturing Based on Axiomatic Design Concept
https://www.xcdsystem.com/iise/abstract/File7673/UploadFinalPaper_2655.pdf
Yosep Oh, University at Buffalo; Sara Behdad, University at Buffalo, SUNY

Abstract:

AM productivity

According to the design for assembly (DFA) concept, design features should be integrated into a few physical parts to reduce design complexity.  However, building up a single product can have some negative effects on the AM productivity by increasing buildup time and cost. In this paper, a design framework using the assembly concept is proposed with the aim of letting the AM productivity reach an allowable level. The design framework is developed based on an Axiomatic Design (AD) approach, where AM productivity elements including buildup time, assembly time and the amount of support are considered as non-functional requirements (nFRs). The AM productivity is assessed by the Information Axiom to choose the best design. The proposed design framework can help engineers design and evaluate AM products.

2. Biomanufacturing (Biotechnology) Productivity

Productivity in Biomanufacturing

Researchers are examining the possibility of taking  advantage of the natural differences in productivity among cells that are used in biomanufacturing. They foster mutations to create genetic variability and then use microchips to analyze the behavior of individual cells, choosing the most prolific for larger-scale production.

How Does Technology Affect Productivity?
Apr 9, 2014

 AIM's March 2014 Business Confidence Survey asked two questions.
1. "Has technology allowed your company to produce more goods or provide more services than a decade ago with the same or fewer employees?
2. Can you quantify the economic effect?"


62 percent of the employers who responded said "yes" to the first question.

Among them only some could quantify the benefits. The gains reported in productivity were in  the 10-25 percent range. At the limits,  one manufacturer doubled output without adding workers, and a non-profit service provider more than tripled productivity.

Regarding profit improvement, some manufacturers remarked  that productivity improvements did not strengthen their bottom lines due to downward pressure on prices.  Some  companies in services industries cited offsetting costs from new regulations.

New JW Marriott hotel rides on technology for productivity
25 March 2017

The 634-room luxury hotel has "taken the initiative to implement new technologies and processes to improve the efficiency of its operations, as well as the overall guest experience" One of the systems  is the (hotel's) use of the Knowledge Touch rostering system to better manage and allocate manpower during peak periods by analysing business volume and needs. the hotel has also adopted Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to track and replace worn-out items such as linen in hotel rooms and  has freed up valuable manpower for more productive uses .
