6. Return on Investment Principle of Industrial Engineering.
6a. Economic Analysis Principle of Industrial Engineering.
6a. Industrial Engineering Economic Analysis Principle of Industrial Engineering.
Industrial engineering has an economic analysis component, industrial engineering economic analysis. Production economics is an important branch in economic theory. Industrial engineers have to do economic analysis of their productivity project related economic variables like prices of long-term assets to be purchases and prices of materials and parts.
They also have to do economic analysis labor costs both at operator level and managerial level. An evaluation of the productivity project or cost reduction project is done using summary measures like net present value. This calculation requires estimation of cost of capital for the organization and this information has to be analyzed or determined from banking and capital markets.
7. Implementation Principle of Industrial Engineering.

Improvements identified in industrial engineering studies are to be evaluated for benefit to the organization. Time is a measure in improvement evaluation. Reducing the time taken by machines and men in doing an activity is a focus activity of industrial engineers.
11b. Time Reduction Focus Principle of Industrial Engineering
Reducing the time taken by machines and men in doing an activity is a focus activity of industrial engineers. Hence time taken by machines and men are measured at the start of the industrial engineering studies, estimates of time are made for redesigned tasks and finally they are measured after the full implementation of the improvement projects to validate the improvements.
12. Operator Selection Principle of Industrial Engineering

14a. Industrial Engineers' Training Competency Principle
14a. Industrial Engineers' Training Competency Principle
In industrial engineering curriculum, there has to be inputs in the training area to provide industrial engineers, training competency.
15. Employee Involvement Principle of Industrial Engineering.
15a. Process Design Self Actualization Principle of Industrial Engineering.
15a. Process Design Self Actualization Principle of Industrial Engineering.
Involvement in process design and process redesign projects provides a channel for fulfilling self-actualization needs of operators and engineers. They know a lot about the operations and processes that they are performing and encouraging them to contribute to process redesign, even if that contribution may be small, will provide them very good satisfaction.
16. Productivity Incentives Principle of Industrial Engineering.
16a. Productivity Benefits Principle of Industrial Engineering.
16a. Productivity Benefits Principle of Industrial Engineering.
In the productivity benefits sharing industrial engineers or other productivity specialists have a share. The value they add to the organization is through cost reduction based on productivity improvement. Operators, engineers and managers who engage in operations and deliver products to customers to realize revenues have a share. But it is important to recognize that consumers of the product are to be given a share in the form of price reductions to increase demand and sustain productivity and employment. We have to recognized the share for the capital employed to implement productivity projects. Supply chain partners also share in the benefits by having higher revenues and profits.

17. Hearty Cooperation Principle of Industrial Engineering.
17a. Conflict Prevention Principle of Industrial Engineering.
17a. Conflict Prevention Principle of Industrial Engineering.
Productivity studies and projects have resulted in conflicts in actual practice. It happened because some popular industrial engineering consultants have strayed from the fundamental principle of scientific management, that is, Hearty Cooperation Principle. Industrial engineers have to communicate adequately and appropriately to prevent conflicts. They are doing their job because it has a social purpose. The objective of IE is to enhance satisfaction and happiness of people in the society. This objective is fulfilled through increasing the consumption of goods and services by producing more from the limited resources. This activity of occurs in production organizations and disagreements are likely to take place from time to time. Adequate conflict resolution mechanisms have to be put in place by industrial engineering department and higher level managers,

19a. System Element Level Analysis and Redesign Principle of Industrial Engineering.
Industrial engineering examines each element of engineering resources as well as other resources used in manufacturing and other engineering activities and improves them to make the operation and process more productive. Industrial engineering managers have to understand the productivity implications of element level improvements at the system level and approve productivity projects for implementation.
20. Productivity Measurement Principle of Industrial Engineering.
20a. Productivity Improvement Focus Principle.
20a. Productivity Improvement Focus Principle.
Industrial engineers record and analyze elements of products and facilities, operations and processes to identify redesign opportunities for productivity improvement. The basic task of industrial engineering is cost reduction of the production at the unit level. Hence all productivity improvement ideas are subjected to economic analysis based on the cost estimates.
