Traditional Industrial Engineering (IE) and Modern Industrial Engineering

Industrial engineering (IE) is divided into two categories: traditional industrial engineering and modern industrial engineering.

I. Traditional Industrial Engineering (IE)

The traditional industrial engineering (IE) works mainly in the manufacturing industry.

The following is the function of the industrial engineering (IE) department personnel:

Second, modern industrial engineering

Modern industrial engineering, in addition to including the traditional industrial engineering technology, there are still in the Second World War period and a number of years after the war in the development of new technologies; at the same time, with the progress of science and technology, new concepts, new methods have emerged one after another, on the continuous impact on industrial engineering and challenges. And challenges, now the modern industrial engineering technology in the impact of several technologies are described as follows:

1, work study

Work study can be defined as: an organized group of people or a group of people to indicate the content of work activities. Its purpose is to design a work structure that meets the organization and its technical requirements and meets the physiological and personal needs of employees.

2, the widespread use of statistics

The United States of America's Grant (Eugene L. Grant) Professor in the 1954 time study summarized an auxiliary with horseshoe table time study of statistical techniques, called work sampling (Work Sampling).

?3, operations research and scientific management

1950 by the British Bracket Professor (Professor P-M-S-Bracket) led a mixed group, they focus on the whole system as a whole to establish a mathematical model, using measurement methods instead of qualitative methods, called operations research (Operations). Operations Research.) And that year, they published Operations Research Quarterly.

?4, the impact of electronic computers

The design and manufacture of computers is said to be by the United States of America Ben Xuevenia University, Dr. Mao Chi Lei (Dr. John W. Gauchely) and Dr. Ai Kotai (Dr. J. Presper Echerat) completed, and in 1946 in the U.S. Army's Aberdeen test base for the first time.

This led to the widespread use of computers in industrial engineering.

Simulation;

Planning and scheduling;

Computer-managed manufacturing;

Work measurement;

Integrated manufacturing (CIM).

?5. Whole-system concept and system design

? Industrial Engineering (IE) is about people, machines, things and other overall system design, improvement and device of a science, in dealing with the problem can not be detached from the reality of the environment and transcendent independent conclusion, the key lies in the system itself has interconnected and interact with the role of influence.

The design of the system is complex and variable, industrial engineering (IE) for the management of the various levels of system design has the following new garden:

The skills and application of mesh planning;

Value engineering (VE);

The extensive use of higher mathematics;

The wide range of applications in behavioral science and ergonomics;

The improvement of automation. Increased automation.

The application of modern systems theory is mainly from the macro-system of society, resources, energy, scientific and technological progress and other development trends, with the principles and methods of cybernetics, the sub-systems, sub-systems re-arrangement and combination of measurable and controllable system. The system is an organism with specific functions composed of several interconnected and mutually constrained units. As big as the world economy and the overall situation of the national economy, as small as a factory, a product can be regarded as a system. The establishment of the concept of system helps to arrange and organize complex production and management work.

Behavioral science is the study of management from a sociological and psychological point of view, attaching importance to the social structure, environmental conditions and the interrelationships between people and them, and human motivation and its resulting behavior to improve work efficiency, play the subjective initiative of the impact. Behavioral science also studies how to find talent, the rational use and cultivation of talent and good at inspiring people's self-consciousness and social responsibility and other aspects of the problem.

Modern industrial engineering (IE) science draws on the latest achievements of natural and technological sciences, and applies operations research, probability theory, mathematical statistics, computational techniques, etc. to the industrial engineering (IE) management technology system as a means of quantification and management, and is formed into a series of quantitative management techniques, such as forecasting technology, technical and economic analysis, value engineering, decision analysis, quality management and so on.
