IE(Industrial Engineering)
American Institute of Industrial Engineers (AIIE) of the definition of Industrial Engineering (Industry Engineering): industrial engineering design, integrated system of personnel, materials, equipment, energy, and information to improve and set a discipline. It combines the use of mathematics, physics and social sciences expertise and technology, to identify, predict and evaluate the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, and the results achieved by the system.
Brief introduction
IE English (industrial engineering), the Chinese translation industrial engineering. Course of development: originated in the 19th century, Americans Taylor, he was the first to propose a motion study, was later known as the father of Industrial Engineering. Successfully applied to the Ford Motor Company rapid rise. popular in Europe and the United States and other developed countries in the seventies of the Ford Motor Company.
IE is a technology and management in one edge of science.
The IE definition: personnel, materials, equipment, energy, and information integration system, designed to improve and set a subject. Integrated use of the specialized knowledge of mathematics, physics and social sciences, and engineering analysis and design the principles and methods to identify, predict and evaluate the results achieved by the system.
In short, the use of human, machine, material to do the most effective combination to achieve the most effective output (OUT PUT)
IE objectives: the design of a production system and the system control method, so that the lowest cost, having a specific level of quality and production must be carried out under conditions to ensure the health and safety of workers and the end user.
IE's features:
(1) the human-centered design, focusing on the human factor.
(2) for the micro-management: the concern to reduce waste and lower costs.
Foundation IE
IE professional introductory course on the basis of IE main content is divided into three parts: action research, time measurement, optimization and site management.
The whole process of the underlying IE: the use of program analysis, operations analysis, motion analysis studies to obtain the best procedures and methods, and then use work measurement standard time to work out all jobs.
Japan new definition for Industrial Engineering (IE)
Japan IE Association (JIIE), founded in 1959. IE's definition is slightly modified in the United States AIIE defined on the basis of 1955 enacted. It is defined as follows:
"IE is the design of integrated systems of people, materials, equipment, improvement and implementation in order to identify, predict and evaluate the results of the system, the use of mathematics, natural science, social science expertise and technology, also adopted the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design. "
Since then, according to AIIE modifications and additions, people, materials, equipment, plus information and energy.
JIIE based on the long-term of IE (especially after the war) in Japan's application of the results achieved and a wide range of applications, IE both in the theory and methods have achieved great development. JIIE deeply the past definition is not suitable for modern requirements, so IE redefine. It is defined as follows:
"IE is such an activity, the scientific method, effective use of human, financial, material, information, time and management resources, high-quality, low-cost and provide goods and services that the market needs in a timely manner, and at the same time to look for ways brings satisfaction and happiness to the people engaged in such work. "
This definition is concise, popular, easy to understand, not only clearly explains the nature, purpose and method of the IE, and special care is also written into the definition, embodies the idea of a "people-oriented". This is exactly the IE different from other engineering disciplines. This definition for our understanding of IE reference.
IE industrial engineering and scientific methods to improve the efficiency, cost, and quality, people, materials, equipment, energy and shelter planning, design, management, improvement and innovation activities to the purpose of reducing costs, improving quality and efficiency an activity. IE (Industrial Engineering) in Japan, also known as the "production" or "management engineering. IE's foundation was one of the first from the "work study". The main scope of work of this stage IE (Industrial Engineering) is roughly: engineering analysis, work standards, motion study, time study, time standards, time value, value analysis (VA), plant layout, handling design.
A brief history of the development of the industrial engineering
Scientific management era (early 20th century to the mid-1930s)

IE to improve the scope and practices
IE INDUSTRIAL (Industrial Engineering) ENGINEERING () refers to a combination of it by the first letter of the two words. IE's foundation from the earliest origins of "work study", "work study" constitutes "work study" from Taylor and Jill Brace "action research" both posed. IE's main areas of: * Engineering Analysis * Value Analysis (VA) * Action Research * standard * Time * Time standard * plant layout * Transportation Design
Improvement (IE) seven practices:
Dynamic change the law to improve the way of human action, reduce fatigue to make work more comfortable, more efficient, not to act recklessly.
Error proofing method on how to avoid the wrong things, to work for the first time to do a good job, the spirit of the concrete realization.
3. Fifty-five Act by questioning skills to discover the idea of improvement.
Hands studied human hands in the work process, in order to discover the place of the improvement can be.
The study of human-computer method operator and machine work process, in order to discover where improvements can be funded.
6. Process method to study flow relationship involves several different workstations or location, in order to discover where improvements can be funded.
Spot-check method by sampling observation method can quickly and effectively understand the truth of the problem.
Involved in the field of IE in China
(1) talent distribution: IE of professional talent is distributed in all areas of society, such as banks, power grids, petroleum, logistics, electronics, communications, consulting management, project management, machinery, construction, and transportation. IE's talent for cross disciplines training compound talents. In some ways that is completely opposite to see the trees but not the forest of mono-disciplinary research talent. Departure from the system's point of view, as far as possible a comprehensive analysis of the problem, to enhance awareness of things. All in all, the effective selection IE talent can help enterprise discovery problem and coordinate effective human and material resources to solve the problem, ultimately boosting the sustained and healthy development of enterprises.
(2) research areas: IE researchers to abandon one-sided, narrow-minded, research methods Mangrenmoxiang, grasp the overall outlook of the global prescribe the right medicine, have light weight, details have slightly, main and auxiliary. Domestic IE research more focused on addressing enterprise production management, exploration and development of other areas are constantly forward.
