What Is Industrial Engineering?
Industrial Engineering is concerned with system design and operation.
All systems must relate to people, equipment, and materials. These
resources are valuable and should be used efficiently. Industrial
engineers analyze and design systems to ensure efficiency, quality,
safety, and economic feasiblity. To enable the integration of
such complex systems, industrial engineers are trained in areas
beyond those taught in other engineering disciplines. These areas
include: economics of the system, human interface and mangement
of the system, and planning and control of operations.
