It
is a branch of engineering that deals with the optimization of use of human,
technical, information and optimal handling and management of the processing
systems of goods and services, evaluation of integrated systems used in fields
of personnel, wealth, knowledge, information, equipment, energy, materials and
processes, in order to obtain products or useful services to society and high
regard for the environment. Mechanical Engineering uses the principles, methods
of analysis, synthesis of engineering and design to specify, evaluate, predict
and improve the results obtained from such systems. Industrial engineering
knowledge and methods used in the mathematical, physical, social, public
policy, management techniques etc. a broad and generic way to determine,
design, specify, analyze, implement and continuously improve the systems.
History of industrial engineering:
It emerged during and
after the industrial revolution in England and the United States. Before the
industrial revolution, the goods produced in the known craftsmen home system.
In those days the factory management was no problem. However, as new devices
are developed and new energy sources are discovered, the practical necessity of
organizing factories so they could take advantage of the innovations he had.
Perhaps the first of
all pioneers was Richard Arkwright (1732-1792), who invented in England the
mechanical spinning wheel. He also created and established what was probably
the first management control system to regulate the production and work of the
employees of the factories.
In 1774, roughly the
same time as Arkwright installed control system, another British inventor,
James Watt, along with his partner Matthew Boulton, were organizing a factory
in Soho to produce steam. They instituted technical training for craftsmen far
exceeded any training that existed at that time and did much to standardize the
management of the factories.
Subsequently, his
sons James Watt and Matthew Robinson Boulton Jr., established the first
complete manufacturing machine factory in the world. Following the example of
their parents, planned and built an integrated manufacturing facility that was
far ahead of his time. Among other things, they instituted a cost-control
system designed to reduce waste and improve productivity.
Industrial Engineer
functions:
The aim of industrial engineers is to create more
and better procedures for implementation. Directed engineering processes and
systems that improve quality and productivity. They are working to eliminate
overproduction, waiting, unnecessary movement, defective products; optimize
transportation, inventory, operations, use of energy resources and the use of
human ability. Therefore, many industrial engineers end up being promoted to
management positions.
Many people tend to get confused with the term
Industrial Engineering, believing that deals exclusively in production.
However, the scope of professional Industrial Engineering optimally covers
service industries since the Industrial Engineer is an optimizing process
agent.
Ways in which an engineer
can optimize processes
• Using practices more efficient and more
profitable business.
• Improving customer product quality and service.
• Improving the ability to do more with less, or at
least the same.
• Helping organizations to produce their product or
service units faster.
• Making the market more secure market consumption,
through the generation of better-designed products.
• Conduct a cost minimization through the
implementation of new technologies.
What activities can develop
an Industrial Engineer? Occupational Profile Industrial Engineer

Earns a good salary.
In coordinating the
cleaning and painting of the house:
Disadvantages: this not only has such great disadvantages that are
now many young people are becoming interested in what she then indicated that
fewer labor camps for new professionals to emerge. Maybe not right now because
there is not many but a few years now and if there will be a lot of
professionals in this area.
ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
Like any other industrial engineering profession has
its advantages and disadvantages.
ADVANTAGES:
Harvest satisfaction year after year.
Earns a good salary.
He works with people, make better, faster and safer
things.
Helps the company save money and be competitive.
Choose where industry
can develop:
-Pharmaceutical -Electronics
-Paper-Services
Work with organizational levels of the company.
In our daily life it
is also offering its good advantages:
It helps us to coordinate our university, work and
personal activities.
-Date, Start time, finish.
-Activities Unprecedented.
-Combination Activities.
That first and then clean it.
That part of the house first and paint as paint.
Facilities design and material handling:
-Position Of furniture, tables, shelves, etc.
Making foods:
-Sacar All preparations at once.
-Assigning Cooking tasks if more than one person.
Taking into account the use of resources.
Basically it is to respect the assets of the company without violating and respect the rights of workers, without damaging company property. Professional ethics refers to reinforce and promote the principles that demand the race. These principles have a wider social sense, as the common goal of industrial engineers is to create a shared welfare. The code of ethics is based on getting results without violating the values that are essential in the professional development of Industrial Engineering.
