About Department

Industrial engineers determine the most effective ways for an organization to use the basic factors of production - people, machines, materials, information, and energy - to make or process a product or produce a service. They are the bridge between management goals and operational performance. They are concerned with increasing productivity through the management of people, methods of business organization, and technology than engineers in other specialties, who generally work more with products or processes. To solve organizational, production, and related problems most efficiently, industrial engineers can achieve the following:

study the product and its requirements
use mathematical methods to meet product requirements
design manufacturing and information systems
develop management control systems for financial planning and cost analysis
design production planning and control systems to coordinate activities and control product quality
design or improve systems for the physical distribution of goods and services
determine which plant location has the best combination of raw materials availability, transportation, and costs
develop wage and salary administration systems and job evaluation programs
