Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the study of industrial applications to boost the production of organizations using various engineering principles and scientific methods at optimum cost.<\/p>\n
Industrial engineers combine physical and social sciences together to improve processes and systems. While other engineering departments generally focus on the development of scientific devices\/materials, industrial engineers focus on the whole system so that various operations like the production\/distribution of products and services can be done effectively. This is done by following various methods like reducing cost, eliminating waste of time and resources, increasing efficiency, improving quality control, etc.<\/p>\n
According to Maynard, industrial engineering is the engineering approach applied to all factors, including human factors, involved in the production and distribution of products or services.<\/p>\n
As per the definition of the American Institute of Industrial Engineers (AIIE), industrial engineering is concerned with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, material, equipment, and energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in mathematics, physical and social sciences, and engineering analysis, as well as design principles to specify, predict, and evaluate the results obtained from systems.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong>Core Concepts of Industrial Engineering<\/strong><\/p>\n The core concepts of industrial engineering and operation research are given below:<\/p>\n Industrial engineering has lot of applications, some of which are given below:<\/p>\n Industrial engineering and Operation Research is an important subject in the mechanical engineering syllabus, as it teaches management skills to mechanical engineering students. Generally, in GATE Mechanical Engineering<\/a>, the weightage of Industrial Engineering and Operation Research is roughly around 5-7 marks; however, this can vary year to year. In ESE, this subject holds a significant weightage of around 6-7 questions in prelims. In exams like RRB JE<\/a> and other state engineering services exams, this subject holds a significantly high weightage.\u00a0However, in SSC JE<\/a>, the weightage of this subject is relatively low.<\/p>\n National Program for Technology Enhanced Learning<\/a>, popularly known as NPTEL offers multiple course for industrial engineering. The link of some of the courses are given below.<\/p>\n Those candidates who want to learn about industrial engineering through online course, can click on the given below links:<\/p>\n Other than this, MADE EASY also provides courses for GATE and ESE Mechanical Engineering<\/a>.
