What does an Industrial Engineer do?
Industrial engineering is a discipline dedicated to the design, installation, improvement and control of integrated systems of people, materials and facilities in a wide range of organizations that produce goods or services. Thus, it is a field of study intended for individuals who are interested in analyzing and formulating abstract models of complex systems with the intention of improving system performance. Like other engineering fields, industrial engineering is dealing with solving problems through the application of specialized knowledge in mathematics and natural science, as well as the principles of engineering. One of the important characteristic of industrial engineering is its system approach to integrate the basic resources of production and service systems and other relevant resources, such as information and energy, in such a way as to create a harmonized, efficient and competitive operation within an enterprise.
