Industrial engineering has a history of 100 years abroad. In the United States, it is called the seven major projects together with mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, computer and aviation engineering. It integrates engineering and management, and has played a great role in promoting the economic and social development of industrialized countries.
It is a science about the effective operation of complex systems. It combines engineering technology with management science, and quantitatively analyzes, optimizes and designs practical engineering and management problems in manufacturing, service and other enterprises or organizations from a systematic perspective. It is an independent engineering discipline, aiming at system efficiency and benefit.
At first, the name of industrial engineering was actually scientific management, but now in South Korea and other countries, industrial engineering is called industrial engineering, which is more in line with its current application scope. Originally used in manufacturing, it has been widely used in other related services and industries. Industrial engineering is also commonly called operation management, system engineering and engineering management.
At present, the main work scope of IE (Industrial Engineering) is roughly: engineering analysis, working standards, method research, operation measurement, value analysis (VA), factory layout, handling design, etc. The ultimate goal is to make the enterprise get the maximum benefit through the operation of management, so it is related to cost or economic benefit, including system, operation method, machine, mold and fixture, etc.
The courses of industrial engineering are as follows
The courses of industrial engineering specialty include: experimental design, supply chain management, production planning and control, quality control and quality management, production automation and manufacturing system, modern human factors engineering, product development technology and management, safety engineering, project management principle and practice, facility planning and logistics analysis, etc.
