Industrial Engineering is Kaizen in Engineering

 Kaizen in Engineering is Industrial Engineering.

Tim Cook, CEO, Apple Industries said industrial engineers challenge status quo. They critically examine the existing engineering system to identify improvement opportunities that are economically rational.

Industrial engineers bring good change in organizations. They guide others in organizations in bringing good change. They organize and help operator study and improvement teams like productivity circles, quality circles to facilitate operator initiated good change (kaizen)

Masaki Imai, the write who popularized Kaizen as an important concept in Engineering and Management applies it to changes initiated by CEO to the lowest person in the organization. Kaizens can occur at the board level decisions and processes or at the lowest one person level activities.

Kaizens in products and products that occur through engineering change orders are initiated by industrial engineers in product industrial engineering and process industrial engineering tasks.

Do it. It is Real Engineering. Industrial Engineering is Engineering Primarily.

Find 5 new engineering developments every day related to facilities, products and processes in your organization and assess their use for #Kaizen.

 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.
