Advanced industrial engineering

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The advanced Industrial Engineering (aIE) based on the classic Industrial Engineering (IE) and aims through the use of new methods to increase the versatility of factories.

term

The aIE combines the basic knowledge of work and process planning - industrial engineering - with the methods, models and procedures for increasing adaptability and expands them to include the premises of continuous process chains, participatory planning and integrated planning procedures. Digital tools & methods as well as the potential of technology management complete the foundation. The aIE deals with the planning of networks, factories, processes, machines, facilities and operational organization.

The computer-based simulation and visualization tools, which are generally summarized under the term “digital tools”, make a significant contribution to the aIE. The use of digital tools makes it possible to optimize processes even before the physical execution by means of modeling, calculation and simulation and thus to be able to permanently adapt the structures of production. A common integration platform for software is essential, as the overall process is handled by different employees from different planning areas such as process, material and logistics planning, layout design, architecture, etc.

Technology management provides a further contribution by the aIE to the planning and adaptation of production systems. It promotes the recognition and implementation of technology potentials in company-related success potentials in order to create competitive advantages to maintain competitiveness. It therefore provides a statement about how efficiently the basis of value creation in a production process - the technology - is used. It should be emphasized that it is not the most innovative production technology that automatically creates the greatest competitive advantages . If one takes into account existing production structures and technologies, unused performance potentials can be activated at a constant level of quality by advancing to the limit of a mature technology. It is important to bring existing technologies closer to the physical limits using modern simulation and visualization tools and to compare this with the potentials and risks of new technologies.
