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.

How many Industrial Engineers can a Company Employ for Cost Reduction?
For $100 million cost, there can be one MS IE and 6 BSIEs.



Otis

We move 2.3 billion people a day and we maintain ~2.3 million customer units worldwide - the world’s largest portfolio. We can be found in many of the world’s most recognizable buildings as well as the busiest transportation hubs and retail centers. We are everywhere people are on the move.

Otis President Judy Marks  - How to meet the expectations of the digitized world promised by Industry 4.0?

Given the availability of technology to acquire and capital to invest in facilities,   “I think how Industry 4.0 gets applied and the pace at which it gets applied, is  based on  how it can be adopted, reduced to practice, and then put into operation.” 

We are into service transformation using industry 4.0.

We have to push ourselves into what is possible now. We should not get stuck with what we have done till now.
