Introduction to Modern Industrial Engineering. 

"Industrial engineering involves applying engineering knowledge - principles and practices to design, improve and optimize productivity of products, production/operation systems, processes, and resources." 

As an IE you have to commit yourself to measure the productivity of every resource or input used in the process and search for alternatives that give more productivity. Search is for ready made solutions or for design principles that give better engineering solutions. So you are monitoring the market for engineering items and also monitoring the knowledge bases for appropriate information to help you in your task.



Engineering for Productivity, Company Growth and Company Progress.

Online Education/Training Session on "Effective Industrial Engineering and Productivity Management."

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 - Some Thoughts by Narayana Rao K.V.S.S.

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.

Dr. K.V.S.S. Narayana Rao, Professor,  National Institute of Industrial Engineering, Mumbai, India.

Author of Principles of Industrial Engineering, Functions of Industrial Engineering and Focus Areas of Industrial Engineering.


Industrial Engineering is System Efficiency Engineering. 

Machine Effort and Human Effort Industrial Engineering. 

It is continuous improvement engineering. There are product design engineers, process design engineers, facilities planning engineers, production operations engineers, facilities maintenance engineers, product service engineers. There are industrial engineers. Industrial engineers observe, do studies and use recorded data on time, cost and productivity, develop science and based on the science do improvement engineering or productivity engineering. Quality of product or the output and human comfort & safety are part of focus areas of industrial engineering as all engineering changes have to be done taking into consideration quality and human aspects.


Industrial Engineering has three components:
Systems Efficiency Engineering, and Systems Design, Installation and Improvement Management, and Machine Effort and Human Effort Engineering. The functions of industrial engineering are research, productivity science, productivity engineering, productivity management, productivity communication and training, productivity measurement, productivity analysis. Articles describing various methods and techniques under each component/function are included in this handbook. Many of these articles are globally popular online articles with thousands of page views and visitors.

Introduction to Industrial Engineering


Basic Principles of Industrial Engineering - Narayana Rao


1. Develop science for each element of a man - machine system's work related to efficiency and productivity.
2. Engineer methods, processes and operations to use the laws related to the work of machines, man, materials and other resources.
3. Select or assign workmen based on predefined aptitudes for various types of man - machine work.
4. Train workmen, supervisors, and engineers in the new methods, install various modifications related to the machines that include productivity improvement devices and ensure that the expected productivity is realized.
5. Incorporate suggestions of operators, supervisors and engineers in the methods redesign on a continuous basis.
6. Plan and manage productivity at system level.
(The principles were developed on 2 July 2016 (During Birthday break of 2016 - 30 June 2016 to 7 July 2016).
The principles were developed by Narayana Rao based on principles of scientific management by F.W. Taylor)

Principles of Industrial Engineering - Narayana Rao - Detailed List



The principles were presented at the Annual Conference of IISE 2017 at Pittsburgh, USA. The paper is in the proceedings of the conference. The presentation made at the conference is given below.

Focus Areas of Industrial Engineering

Engineering has two aims: 
To develop effective products and processes that satisfy customers. 
To develop efficient products and processes that give profits and satisfaction to the producers (both managers-capitalists and employees). 

 Industrial engineering is focused on efficiency while the functional engineers are focused on effectiveness. 

 Both engineering streams have big data bases of knowledge, information and data that are to be used to do the design and execution work successfully to the satisfaction of customers. 

 Industrial engineering developed its knowledge based over 140 years. The academic discipline of industrial engineering was started in 1908. But the call for development of this engineering branch was given in 1880.

 Productivity Science: Science developed for each element of machine operation and each element of human tasks in industry.

 Product Industrial Engineering: Redesign of products to reduce cost and increase value keeping the quality intact.

 Process Industrial Engineering: Redesign of processes to reduce cost and increase value keeping the quality intact.

Industrial Engineering Optimization: Optimizing industrial engineerng solutions created in Product Industrial Engineering and Process Industrial Engineering.

 Industrial Engineering Statistics: Using statistical tools like data description, sampling and design of experiments in industrial engineering activity.

 Industrial Engineering Economics: Economic analysis of industrial engineering projects.

 Human Effort Industrial Engineering: Redesign of products and processes to increase satisfaction and reduce discomfort and other negative consequence to operators.

 Productivity Measurement: Various measurements done by industrial engineers in industrial setting to collect data, analyze data and use the insights in redesign: Product Industrial Engineering and Process Industrial Engineering.

 Productivity Management: Management undertaken by industrial engineers to implement Product Industrial Engineering and Process Industrial Engineering. Management processes industrial engineering is also part of productivity management.

Applied Industrial Engineering: Application of industrial engineering in new technologies, existing technologies, engineering business and industrial processes and other areas.

Design for Manufacturing

Process Industrial Engineering

The scope of process industrial engineering is very big. Engineering processes are large in number because of large number of engineering branches. Within each branch there are different areas of subjects. Within each subjects there are large number of processes. For illustration, in the subject of manufacturing alone there are number of fundamental processes. Within each fundamental process,  say for example, machining, there are number of machine tools. Continuously, developments are taking place in machine tools, cutting tools and accessories that have an effect on productivity. Industrial engineers have to monitor, establish relationships with representatives of sellers and consultants to know the developments, evaluate them and implement them in their organization as quickly as possible. There is reengineering opportunity each time a new development in any engineering element is adopted. Creative application of new technology as well as problem solving ideas is required all the time in industrial engineering.
