Process Chart Analysis of Industrial Engineering and Quality
Process level quality issues are examined for effectiveness and efficiency in process chart analysis by industrial engineers. Effectiveness issues are referred to quality engineers and quality managers and efficiency improvement is undertaken by industrial engineers. Industrial engineers ensure that there is no negative effect of productivity improvement on quality of output. Quality is a higher level performance measure to productivity and has priority.

Quality and Industrial Engineering
Industrial Engineering Principle of Quality
The first move by industrial engineer, before undertaking productivity improvement through productivity engineering, is to insure against a falling off in quality. After insuring against deterioration in quality, effective means are to be developed to increase the output by machine time and operator time reduction, substitution of lower prices materials and parts, and consumable and energy usage reduction.
Quality Principle of Industrial Engineering
Effectiveness First - Efficiency Next Principle of Industrial Engineering.
F.W. Taylor improved inspection activities.
In process chart method, Gilbreth included analysis of inspection activities.
In the process chart analysis, each activity is examined for its purpose, effectiveness and efficiency. Hence inspection activities were examined whether there is any purpose and whether they are effective. If they are not effective, then quality activities designers were alerted to develop a new method to make them effective. If there is no clear purpose for the activity it is eliminated. Then the efficiency analysis is attempted. So industrial engineers are also concerned with assuring quality output from material transformation or value adding activity.
The main components of ISE knowledge that reflect a categorisation of pertinent industrial and systems engineering theories and models include (1) work design & measurement, (2) operations research & analysis, (3) engineering economic analysis, (4) facilities engineering & energy management, (5) quality & reliability engineering, (6) ergonomics & human factors, (7) operations engineering & management, (8) supply chain management, (9) engineering management, (10) safety, (11) information engineering, (12) design and manufacturing engineering, (13) product design & development, and 14) system design & engineering.
Note number (5) Quality & Reliability Engineering. Industrial engineers learn about quality to maintain quality in IE improvement projects and to improve efficiency of quality activities.
I do think quality is important in producing goods.
