A Blog based on the Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering Department of NED University of Engineering and Technology (Karachi,Pakistan). The main to create this blog is to provide Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department Students easy in hand study material, eBooks, software and other useful information for better understanding and problem solving. We will try our best to provide you any study material on request within a day or two. Also this blog will keep students updated with latest technology news, CAD/CAM revolution in software world and much more.

The Hub aims to support more students to enrich the student experience at IMD by providing you with outstanding student support in a friendly, welcoming environment where you can feel at ease to ask anything about any course or faculty member.

What is Industrial Engineering?

What makes industrial engineering such a broad field is that its goal is to optimize processes and systems by finding ways to save time, money, energy, and materials across a range of industries. This is done by leading the implementation of business strategies, such as 5S, Lean, Supply Chain Management, and Six Sigma.

It is often said that the goal of industrial engineering is to take what other engineers have done and make it better. Industrial engineers can be found in almost every industry: manufacturing, logistics, entertainment, hospitality, service, healthcare, energy, and aerospace, to name a few. Within each of these industries, industrial engineers may find themselves working on a variety of projects, such as:

• Making wait times shorter for rides at Walt Disney World to increase guest satisfaction
• Optimizing the nursing staff levels at a hospital to improve patient care
• Streamlining the manufacturing processes of automobiles at Ford to make cars more affordable
• Simplifying a supply chain for UPS so deliveries can be made more expediently
• Leading a team of engineers to design new equipment for NASA
• Improving the quality of your favorite candy bar at Hershey to increase customer satisfaction
• Performing energy audits to enable more companies to go green to save money – and our planet
• Consulting and training people to use the latest technology to improve operations
• Designing safer and more ergonomic ways to work on the factory floor at a manufacturing plant

What is Manufacturing Engineering?

From the shoes on your feet to the car you drive, nearly everything you use in your daily life is man-made, or ‘manufactured’. At its most basic level, Manufacturing Engineering is designing things and taking them from concept right through to working products. The reality is more complex, of course, and much more interesting. 

Manufacturing Engineers:

• design a product,
• select the best technologies and processes for manufacturing it,
• plan and design the factory that will produce the product, and
• oversee the running, management, maintenance and improvement of the factory. 

It doesn’t end there. Manufacturing Engineers also get involved in supply chain management, logistics and distribution, quality management as well as environmental and life-cycle management.

In short, Manufacturing Engineering is the branch of engineering that is concerned with understanding, analysing and improving complex industrial, manufacturing and infrastructure systems.

Final Word

To major in industrial and manufacturing engineering is to get an education that you will likely not regret. Not only will you receive a well-rounded foundation in math, science, business, and technology, you’ll be entering a career field that is ever-changing and never boring. You’ll solve puzzles to save your company money while improving efficiency, productivity, and quality.
