Components of Industrial Engineering Class 2

Industrial Engineering can be described by three main components: 1) human effort engineering, 2) systems efficiency engineering, and 3) systems design, installation, and improvement management. Human effort engineering focuses on optimizing productivity and occupational health, safety, and income through work station design, motion study, ergonomics, and other areas. Systems efficiency engineering aims to improve methods, product design, inspection methods, and operations through techniques like method study, value engineering, quality control, and operations research. While systems design was included in definitions of industrial engineering, the discipline has not fully developed subject areas to lead complex systems design projects, which require cross-functional team efforts. Developing a subject on systems design management could help train industrial engineers

Components of Industrial Engineering

Class 2

Components of Industrial Engineering


Industrial Engineering can be described adequately by three components. 1. Human Effort Engineering 2. Systems Efficiency Engineering 3. Systems Design, Installation and Improvement Management

Industrial Engineering is Human Effort Engineering. It is an engineering discipline that deals with the design of human effort in all occupations: agricultural, manufacturing and service. The objectives of Industrial Engineering are optimization of productivity of work-systems and occupational comfort, health, safety and income of persons involved. Ref:Narayana Rao, K.V.S.S., Definition of Industrial Engineering: Suggested Modification. Udyog Pragati. October-December 2006. p. 1-4.

Human Effort Engineering - Areas of Design and Installation


Work Station Design Interface Device Design: Jigs and Fixtures Motion Design: Motion Study Posture Design Comfort Design: fatigue analysis Safety Design: Safety Aids Occupational Hazard Analysis & Certification Work Measurement Operator Training Job Evaluation Incentive scheme design

System Efficiency Engineering


Methods Efficiency Engineering -Method Study Product Design Efficiency Engineering - Value Engineering - Introduction Inspection Methods Efficiency Engineering Statistical Quality Control Industrial Engineering Operations Research - An Efficiency Improvement Tool for Industrial Engineers Engineering Economics is an Efficiency Improvement Tool for Industrial Engineers

Industrial Engineering and Systems Design


Industrial Engineering and Systems Design Definition Industrial engineering is concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment and energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems. (IIE)

Systems Design
But has industrial engineering discipline developed the subject of systems design? A perfect positive answer cannot be given. Prof Oliver J. Sizelove of Newark College of Engineering, Newark, New Jersey correctly indicated that very few industrial engineers can be expected to possess "expert" skills in all the disciplines required to design complex systems. He also stated that the conventionally organized industrial engineering department cannot really cope with the design of a complex system.

Design of complex systems requires team effort representing variety of skills. What skills do industrial engineers bring to this team? Industrial engineers have to clear about it? By including design of systems in their definition, what did they want to achieve? Did they want leadership of systems design effort in the organizations?

As the focus areas of industrial engineering are human effort and system efficiency. So they have a significant role to play in systems design. They can aspire to lead the system design effort also.

Systems Design Management


Systems design remained in definition but its implementation was never really explored in IE curriculums. Industrial engineering curriculums need to have subject titled "Systems Design Management" to develop this dimension of industrial engineering.
