Industrial Engineering Optimization

Mathematical optimization was used by F.W. Taylor. As operations research was developed and more optimization techniques were developed, industrial engineers advocated the use of them in companies to improve productivity, reduce costs, and increase profits. All industrial engineering redesigns are to be optimized and industrial engineers use various optimization techniques to optimize their engineering redesigns to increase productivity.

Industrial Engineering Statistics

F.W. Taylor himself advocated maintaining of records and data for decision making. The other industrial engineering pioneers also promoted record keeping and data analysis. As sampling based  decision making became more robust, industrial engineers promoted it as a productivity improvement initiative and imperative. One of the prominent areas of application is statistical quality control. Now six sigma, a statistics based technique is being promoted by the IE profession.

19. Test of Hypothesis
http://www.math.uah.edu/stat/hypothesis/Introduction.html

Test of hypothesis is to be used by industrial engineers to confirm or validate that their redesign or a process has resulted in the increase of productivity. This becomes useful when there is variation in the output from various workstations or persons.  We can also visualize activities in different places. In such case we test the hypothesis that productivity has improved in the workstations where redesign is is implemented.

I developed an online education/training session on "Effective Industrial Engineering and Productivity Management." I can present the session in one hour, one and half hour or two-hour long sessions. The sessions will be valuable when company industrial engineers and other engineers and managers attend as a group. Industrial engineers require active cooperation and participation of other engineers and managers in their studies and projects. Hence a common presentation and discussion on effectiveness will be very useful.

Effective industrial engineering has to satisfy management about the contribution it made to the organization year after year.

The prime contribution of IE has to be cost reduction through productivity improvement.

Industrial Engineering - Introduction to  Basic Principles and Techniques

Industrial engineering converts technical products and processes created by pure engineers and managers into commercially viable products and thereby creates industries - manufacturing/engineering service concerns that satisfy the needs of the people and make profit for the organizations.

On an ongoing basis industrial engineering improves the profits of the organization by eliminating wastes and reducing cost through minimizing resource use.

Industrial engineering is system efficiency engineering and human effort engineering.

IE helps in creating new industries and prosperous industries.
IE makes enterprises rich. IE makes employees rich. IE makes societies rich.

Industrial engineering is staff service to managers. Industrial engineering is part of management activity. Managers have knowledge of industrial engineering and they know the potential of industrial engineering. Industrial engineers, industrial engineering profession and industrial engineering academic institutions and departments have to inform managers on a continuous basis the developments in industrial engineering and the increased potential of due to development of new methods, new techniques and tools.  Industrial engineers also have to know various management subjects so that they know their role in the management of the department for which they are given the responsibility for improving efficiency and productivity. In the initial months, management subjects are specified and then later the techniques of industrial engineering.

Industrial Engineering is a Management Discipline

Industrial Engineering is a Management Discipline with the foundation subject being Engineering. Its prime focus is engineering activity. Management two prime dimensions of performance are Effectiveness and Efficiency. Industrial Engineering is concerned with Efficiency, also referred to as Productivity,  Cost Reduction, Cost Optimization, Cost Effectiveness, and Resource Efficiency.

IE knowledge revision plan was started in 2014.  In the revision essential subjects and chapters from management will also be included along with industrial engineering techniques. Knowledge of management techniques should help industrial engineering professionals to know the importance of industrial engineering in management practice as a basic discipline and functional areas of management, to manage implementation of IE projects and IE departments and to take up line management careers at some point in their career on the way to become CEOs of the organizations.

The basic plan of the revision is that 40 articles at the rate of 2 articles per working day are to be read. That gives the flexibility to read them during the week end also it on any working day reading is skipped. The article may take around 10 minutes. Therefore on article in the morning session and one article in the evening session can be read. The basic purpose is to refresh the already known knowledge. New knowledge is provided as subject updates in different articles one for each subject included in the revision.

In the month of January 2019, the revision is planned to start from 15 January  providing for a good year end break.

Management theory clearly states that effectiveness and efficiency are two important or prime dimensions of management performance. Industrial engineering has its prime focus on efficiency and thus it provides managers with efficiency related services and makes sure that efficiency or productivity is high in organizations. In the course of pursing industrial engineering practice, some IEs may shift to full management roles if they make efforts in the meanwhile to learn additional knowledge and skills. Becoming a full manager can be a natural career progression for industrial engineers apart from becoming senior industrial engineers and growing up in the industrial engineering department up to chief industrial engineering officer of the company (CIEO).

Industrial Engineering Measurements and Productivity Management

Industrial Engineering (IE)

IE is better described as engineering in response to industry data to do continuous improvement of product and process designs. Industrial engineering is engineering response to measurements. Cost, resource productivity, time taken by machines and men and measurements related to human factor  are important data which find a significant role in industrial engineering. Work measurement, productivity measurement and even cost measurement were developed within industrial engineering as useful measurements in industrial engineering design.

Industrial Engineering - Introduction: https://nraomtr.blogspot.com/2011/12/industrial-engineering-introduction.html

Productivity:  Maximum output of best quality product.

Productivity Management: Planning and  Maximizing  output of best quality product.

Taylor's Productivity Improvement System in Production Shops

Frederick Taylor's  Productivity Improvement System - Part 1

https://nraoiekc.blogspot.com/2018/07/frederick-taylors-piece-rate-system.html


The system convinces each man that it is for his permanent advantage to turn out each day the best quality and maximum quantity of work. The advantages of this system of management are : Productivity - Lower Unit Cost and Higher Wages and Incomes

The manufactures are produced cheaper under it (Productivity or Cost Reduction), while at the same time the workmen earn higher wages than are usually paid.
