Optimization: Maximize the benefit. Minimize the cost. Maximize the difference.
Each engineering system design idea needs to be optimized to get the best desired output and then only alternatives are to be compared for selection of the best alternative.
IE alternatives, that is alternative engineering solutions, need to be optimized. The discrete or continuous values which are possible due to various engineering elements used have to be operated at values that give maximum desired benefit.
Industrial engineers develop engineering modifications to existing facilities and processes to increase productivity while maintaining current effectiveness intact. In the process chart based process improvement, they identify operations - material processing, inspection, material handling, and storage to improve engineering of each of them to improve performance.
Industrial Engineering Optimization
Engineering optimization is development of mathematical models of engineering decisions and mathematically determining desired maximum or minimum values of objective functions. Industrial engineers have to convert their engineering change ideas into mathematical models and find the best solution or optimal solution. But in industrial engineering studies, the first investigation is to find engineering changes that are possible. Then both the existing configuration and new possible configuration are subjected to engineering optimization procedure to find the best result and then a decision is taken to stick to the current solution as optimized or new solution as optimized.
"The ever-increasing demand on engineers to lower production costs to withstand competition has prompted engineers to look for rigorous methods of decision making, such as optimization methods, to design and produce products both economically and efficiently. Optimization techniques, having reached a degree of maturity over the past several years, are being used in a wide spectrum of industries, including aerospace, automotive, chemical, electrical, and manufacturing industries. With rapidly advancing computer technology, computers are becoming more powerful, and correspondingly, the size and the complexity of the problems being solved using optimization techniques are also increasing. Optimization methods, coupled with modern tools of computer-aided design, are also being used to enhance the creative process of conceptual and detailed design of engineering systems." S.S. Rao in Preface to the book - Engineering Optimization: Theory and Practice, 3rd Edition, Wiley Interscience Publication, New York, 1996.

Optimization methods are extensively used in those engineering design problems where the emphasis is on maximizing or minimizing a certain goal. Optimization algorithms are routinely used in aerospace design activities to minimize the overall weight. The minimization of the weight of aircraft components is of major concern to aerospace designers. Chemical engineers, on the other hand, are interested in designing and operating a process plant for least cost of operation for the required rate of production. Mechanical engineers design mechanical components for the purpose of achieving either a minimum manufacturing cost or a maximum component life. Civil engineers are involved in designing buildings, bridges, dams, and other structures in order to achieve a minimum overall cost or maximum safety or both. Communication engineers are interested in designing communication networks so as to achieve minimum time for communication from one node to another.
All the above-mentioned tasks involve either minimization or maximization (collectively known as optimization) of an objective.
