industrial engineering

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Industrial engineering refers to a field of work that deals with the design, planning and optimization of service creation processes in the broadest sense using engineering methods. The implementation is always about work design . Accordingly, the associated courses have study content from both engineering and management .

term

The roots of industrial engineering go back to the Scientific Management of Frederick Winslow Taylor .

The term industrial engineering has been used in Germany since the mid-1960s through the translation of Maynard's Industrial Engineering Handbook. In the meantime, industrial engineering has established itself as an independent term in the German-speaking area, replacing its original German word “industrial engineering”. So far, however, there is no uniform definition in either German or English.

Based on an analysis of numerous national and international descriptions, Sascha Stowasser characterizes industrial engineering as follows:

  • Industrial engineering aims at high productivity of the company's management, core and support processes.
  • Industrial engineering defines and develops target states and standards of the processes.
  • Industrial engineering ensures a high level of transparency so that deviations from the standard can be recognized and effective countermeasures can be taken.
  • Industrial engineering uses suitable methods and instruments for this and makes use of work, engineering and business management knowledge and fundamentals.

While most engineering sciences focus on very specific areas of application, that of the industrial engineer is broad and can be found in almost every industry. For example, shortening the queues in an amusement park , the efficient use of an operating room , the design of a logistics system - supply chain management - but also simply rationalizing the production of cars are part of the scope of duties. Typical in industrial engineering is the use of computer simulations , especially event-driven process chains , for system analysis and system evaluation .

In the meantime, the scope of industrial engineering has grown significantly and, in addition to the classic work planning tasks, also includes other fields of work such as work plan creation, time management , remuneration structure , planning preparation , material planning, resource planning and method planning. In the course of further development, modern industrial engineering is responsible for the productivity development system consisting of man, material and machine. Industrial engineering designs the value stream from product planning through production planning / process planning to production optimization. These belong together and holistically drive productivity development while taking human aspects into account. In addition, industrial engineering ensures the necessary transparency and supplies data for strategic management planning, for example in the context of productivity management .

In all industrial engineering efforts, the primary objective is to improve productivity and thus ensure the competitiveness of the company.

Training and further education offers

Industrial engineering courses offered in Germany are mostly industrial engineering courses with an English title. The original topics of industrial engineering are sometimes completely missing in these courses. Courses of study that do not emerge from the tradition of industrial engineering, but are originally based on the area of ​​responsibility of industrial engineers, can be found at universities in Aachen, Berlin, Kleve, Kiel and Lübeck. An equivalent at other universities would therefore be more z. B. Mechanical engineering with a focus on production or production technology.

In Berlin, the master’s degree is taken part-time by distance learning , in Kleve at the Rhein-Waal University of Applied Sciences , the bachelor’s degree is held entirely in English, and Aachen takes into account the breadth of the field of application insofar as graduates of economics degree programs also enroll in the master’s degree there who have taken specific fields of study. The Master of Science degree in Production Engineering at the University of Bremen has a specialization in "Industrial Engineering", which is offered in cooperation with the REFA Association. In cooperation with the University of Louisville , the Hamburger Fern-Hochschule offers doctoral studies there.

Further training in the field of industrial engineering is essentially and traditionally dedicated to the REFA Association, which took account of the development, among other things, by renaming its traditional trade journal REFA-Nachrichten to Industrial Engineering with issue 1 (2008) - at the same time as a Modernization of the editorial concept. The European Journal of Industrial Engineering (EJIE) was first published with 1 (2007) . The MTM Association has also started to supplement its MTM-specific training courses with other industrial engineering topics, so that MTM users not only receive specific knowledge of the methods but also broader basic knowledge.

Typical course content

Typical subjects for the industrial engineer are considered to be:
