Industrial Engineering: Productivity Improvement of Systems and Processes - Book by Narayana Rao K.V.S.S.

Introduction - What is Industrial Engineering


Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering that focuses on improvement of efficiency and productivity in engineering systems and processes. Narayana Rao defines it as system efficiency engineering.

Narayana Rao (2017)

Industrial engineering defined as system efficiency engineering has application in all branches of engineering.  Productivity improvement is needed in engineering systems of all branches and therefore industrial engineering needs to be used in all branches of engineering. It needs to be taught in all engineering branches. (Principles of Industrial Engineering, Narayana Rao, K.V.S.S., 2017).

Engineering systems which are designed by engineers of various branches are first evaluated for the effectiveness. While efficiency criterion is given importance during the early rounds of the design, a special effort to evaluate it for efficiency criteria will identify opportunities to increase efficiency before finalizing the design. Industrial engineers who maintain a knowledge base of engineering alternatives and their productivity and economic efficiency will make significant contribution to the design. Processes specify the routines to be followed.
