Industrial Engineering Industrial Engineering Industrial engineering is concerned with the design of production systems. The industrial engineer focuses on how a product is made or how a service is rendered. The goal of industrial engineering is improving the how. The industrial engineer is concerned with increasing productivity through the management and best use of people, material, equipment, and technology to achieve an organization's goals.
Industrial engineering focuses on systems design.
Production processes are composed of many interacting parts, all of which work together. Since changes to one part may not result in improvements to the whole, industrial engineers generally work with tools that emphasize systems analysis and design. They are the bridge between management goals and operational performance.
