Industrial Engineering, Production Management and Operations Research
It is an interdisciplinary activity with the aim of producing goods and services of high quality in time in a cost-effective manner. This requires people with skills and knowledge of industrial engineering , manufacturing engineering, product design, marketing, finance & corporate planning, all working together.
The areas mentioned above are an essential part of any production engineering effort, since the operation of a company depends on co-ordination of all areas of the production process; human, computing, material, electronic, mechanical, and financial. Production engineering activities are carried out, in the main, by teams of individuals with different skills rather than by a formal production engineering section.
Use is made of a wide range of knowledge and techniques. These include statistical data analysis, computer simulation, operations research techniques, mechanical and materials engineering and industrial engineering techniques. A key element of modern production engineering is the use of computer and information technology to solve the ever emerging problems encountered in the modern production process.
Production engineering has its origins in the manufacturing sector. The knowledge and techniques involved in production engineering are applied equally in the service sector, in television production, in banking, in the airlines and in the entertainment industry.
