The Industrial Engineering

Industrial engineer

 Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the optimization of use of human, technical, information and optimal handling and management of the processing systems of goods and services, evaluation of integrated systems used in fields personal, wealth, knowledge, information, equipment, energy, materials and processes, in order to obtain products or useful services to society and high regard for the environment. Mechanical Engineering uses the principles, methods of analysis, synthesis of engineering and design to specify, evaluate, predict and improve the results obtained from such systems. Industrial engineering knowledge and methods used in the mathematical, physical, social, public policy, management techniques etc. a broad and generic way to determine, design, specify, analyze, implement and continuously improve the systems (in the broad sense).

Finished

 Industrial Engineering in Latin America relates to the profession that specializes in knowledge production (simulation, operations research, engineering methods, data handling, production control and statistical) as well as knowledge management, finance and economics. By the latter it is currently an Industrial Engineer plays many positions in the labor market varied from heavy industry to banks and hospitals.

Activity

 Industrial engineering, covers several areas of activity, such as management science, seeks projects, supply chain management, operations research, ergonomics, quality engineering and process engineering. Besides improving industrial engineering work processes.

In lean manufacturing (lean manufacturing), industrial engineers work to eliminate waste of all resources.

Mechanical engineers commonly used statistics and computer simulation, especially discrete event simulation for analysis and evaluation.

History

 Much has been written about the pioneers of mechanical engineering, who emerged during and after the industrial revolution in England and the United States. Before the industrial revolution, the goods produced in the known craftsmen home system. In those days the factory management was no problem. However, as new devices are developed and new energy sources are discovered, the practical necessity of organizing factories so they could take advantage of the innovations he had.

Perhaps the first of all pioneers was Richard Arkwright (1732-1792), who invented in England the mechanical spinning wheel. He also created and established what was probably the first management control system to regulate the production and work of the employees of the factories.

Improved productivity

 Improving productivity is obtained innovate:

• Technology: The improvement results in increased production of marginal factor experienced technological advancement. This way you can increase the total production without spending more resources in the implementation of other inputs.

• Organization: Adequate organization increase process efficiency by making all the factors operating within a system that sets out specific roles for each. In this way the parts not clog together and will know how and when to act considering what the rest do.

• Human Resources: Welfare. The more satisfied people working within a larger production process is performance feel.

• Industrial relations: Working in harmony and synchronized team in environmentally favorable conditions, maintaining the values ​​of respect, service, among others.

• Working conditions: It is necessary that every worker has the necessary tools to do their jobs efficiently, having deficiencies then productivity will suffer because there will be a part of the task can not be fulfilled by technical deficiencies. It is also necessary to ensure workers maintain decent working conditions in terms of health, safety and rest days so as not to denigrate their source of income and comply with local laws regarding these issues.

• Quality.

Productivity

 Productivity is the ratio of products obtained by a production system and resources used for such production. It can also be defined as the ratio between the results and the time taken to obtain: the shorter the time it takes to obtain more productive desired result is the system. Actually productivity should be defined as the efficiency indicator that relates the amount of resources used to the amount of output produced.

Efficiency

 The efficiency shows the professionalism of a competent person who does his duty in an assertive way doing an impeccable job. An efficient worker brings tranquility to any boss who feels he can delegate and trust your work well done. A company is formed by people who add value to a common equipment. Just a person is not efficient for the common work look tarnished by the ineffectiveness of a person specific. In today's society, where there is a high level of competitiveness at the professional level, it is essential to opt for constant training for courses, attend conferences, participate in chats, reading books and so improve the curriculum in a manner consistent thanks to compliance with new goals that are in line efficiency.
