What do industrial engineers do?
Industrial engineers apply scientific knowledge to solve problems in manufacturing
and other industries, businesses, and institutions, focusing on productivity improvement
through better use of human resources, financial resources, natural resources and
manmade structures and equipment. IEs apply a full range of analytical, simulation,
and experimentation tools that are applied to problems in designing, planning, implementing,
and operating systems. These problems are found in a wide variety of service organizations
(such as, banks, hospitals, social service and governmental agencies), project-based
firms (such as, construction and consulting), and product-based firms (such as, processing,
manufacturing, and electronics). The focus of industrial engineering is systems integration
and improvement.
