Principles of Industrial Engineering

Introduction

• Focus on industrial engineering principles, tools, and techniques.
• Industry: Organizations producing or distributing goods/services.

Types of Industries

1. Primary Industry

   • Utilizes natural resources to produce goods.
   • Examples: Agriculture (crops), Fishing, Mining (ores), Petroleum exploration.

2. Secondary Industry

   • Uses outputs from primary industries.
   • Examples: Bread (from wheat), Steel (from iron ore), Cars (from raw materials).

3. Tertiary Industry

   • Comprises the service sector.
   • Examples: Transport, Medical services, Education, Banking, Hospitality.

Industry Production and Challenges

• Industries aim to produce more products/services at low cost and high quality.
• Key Parameters for Success:
  • Quantity: Adequate supply to meet demand.
  • Quality: High standards to satisfy customer expectations.
  • Cost: Competitive pricing.
  • Time: Timely delivery.
• Importance of efficiency due to competition and customer awareness.
• Increasing demand and improved purchasing power of customers.

Role of Industrial Engineering

• Central to production and distribution of goods/services.
• Objective: Satisfy demand with required quantity, quality, cost, and timing.
• Approach:
  • Analyze existing systems for improvements.
  • Optimize processes and resources (man, material, machine, etc.).
  • Reduce wastage and improve resource utilization.

Industrial Engineering Techniques

• Optimization: Development, improvement, and implementation of systems.
• Resources Management:
  • Man, Material, Machines, Money, Energy, Knowledge, Information.
  • Development of Management Information Systems (MIS) for effective decision-making.

Definition and Scope

• Industrial Engineering:
  • Engineering approach to production and distribution.
  • Multidisciplinary: Science, Math, Management, Manufacturing, etc.
  • Focus on design, improvement, installation of systems.
• Productivity: Increase output with reduced input/wastage.

Summary

• Introduction to industrial engineering and its significance.
• Emphasis on improving productivity and efficiency through effective resource utilization.
