This is an article that i found and i think it's very interesting; it's about IE i hope you like it...
Industrial Engineers design systems to enable people and society to improve productivity, efficiency and effectiveness and the quality of the work environment. All engineers work at planning, designing, implementing and controlling the systems that represent the way people use technology. The systems that are the subject of Industrial Engineering design are broad* and are characterized by a need to integrate both the physical and decision making capabilities of humans together with all other aspects of the system design. Problems range* from the design of a work method and work station, to the design of a factory layout* and methods of controlling the flow of materials on the factory floor, to the design of an overall corporate plan involving materials procurement, production, inventory and distribution. The idea of a factory is also extended to include health care systems, municipal systems, transportation systems; in fact all the systems that are essential to the functioning of modern society. Systems that facilitate effective decision making and implementation in areas such as scheduling*, inventory, and quality control are typical of industrial engineering.
The Future of IE
Job opportunities for Industrial Engineers are both challenging and widely* based. Former graduates are currently practicing Industrial Engineering in all types of work activity ranging from paper product manufacturing, to airlines, to utilities, to hospitals. Invariably, the work assigned is original in its nature demanding that the Industrial Engineer to be creative in applying his or her many abilities to achieve the best solution. Managers require such results if they are to keep their costs under control in this increasingly competitive world. This requirement will sustain the high demand for Industrial Engineers well into the future.
