- Introduction
Industrial Engineering is one of the branches of engineering, related to the development, improvement, implementation and evaluation of integrated systems of knowledge, equipment, material, process and people. It is also known as Manufacturing Engineering, Operations Management, and Production Engineering. It eliminates waste of energy, time, money, materials, and other useful resources. This discipline apply skills virtually in every industry like streamlining an operating room, shortening queues at a theme part, manufacturing cheaper and more reliable automobiles, etc.
Performance and growth of industry in India
Advancement of technology, automation of manufacturing system, developments in artificial intelligence and data base systems, revolution in management practices has increased enormous opportunities for industrial engineers. Currently, 60% of industrial engineers are employed in manufacturing companies but they can be selected in every kind of company like government, finance, public, private, transportation and banks etc. Thus, there is wide scope for industrial engineers in every field.
Options and Opportunities
An Industrial Engineer can get job in all types of industries. They can join R&D departments of big companies, private consultancy firms, manufacturing industries, automobile, aeronautics, fabrication, designing, etc. They can also work as purchase engineers, technical sales managers, production and industrial engineers, etc. Self employment opportunities are also available to them.
