Industrial Engineering Presentation
Transcript: By: Joel Mueteteke Industrial Engineering Industrial Engineers Industrial Engineers Overview • Industrial engineers apply science, math, and engineering techniques and practices to complex system integration and operations • Industrial Engineers find ways to improve production processes by creating processes and systems that improve quality, safety, and production of products/goods and services. Job Info Job Info Average Salary - The U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the average annual salary for industrial engineers is $84,310 as of May 2016 Employment - Jobs for engineers is expected to show little or no change with the US Depart. Of Labor statistics projecting a difference or sum of 2100 jobs or a 1% change in employment from 2014-24 - Because Industrial engineers don’t specialize in one area of work, they are involved/employed in a variety of industries (Ex: Manufacturing, Research and development, etc.) . This is due to the fact that their main area of focus is on reducing internal costs, and making their job an important asset for many industries Education - To become an industrial engineer, the minimum education required is a bachelor’s degree commonly in Industrial Engineering. However, some industrial engineers have degrees in other fields of engineering (electrical, mechanical, etc.). Job Environment - Industrial Engineers may work indoors, outdoors or in a hands-on environment depending on the industry that they are part of. Benefits Benefits -Helps improve and create profitable business practices while increasing customer care and quality - Increases competition, profit, and minimizes resource expenditure and requirements. -This profession doesn’t consume time and can be modified to fit the schedule of a company or organization. - Good organization and improves production, these eliminate some of the potential frustrations of life and are key to the long-term stability and prosperity of a business and/or organization. -Improved ability to do more with limited resources - Decreased production/manufacturing time thus allowing people to get their product in less time. -Assistance and guiding society and business on how to care for the workforce and improving the bottom-line - Showing ways to improve work environments, efficiencies, and teaching ergonomics - Making the world safer through improved design of products and easier use of product(s) -Reducing costs associated with new technologies, in effect, it allows more people to improve their quality of life by being able to afford new technologies Real World Applications Real World Applications List of Industries that incorporate industrial Engineering - hospitals - communications - e-commerce - entertainment - government - finances - food - pharmaceuticals - semiconductors - sports - insurance - sales - accounting - banking - travel - transportation. Real World Scenarios - Reducing the waiting times for rides at a theme or amusement park - Finding a safer way to put together a product to prevent worker injury - Improving the quality of cellphones - Planning where would be the best location(s) to put fire stations, police stations, hospitals, and other infrastructure.
