What is an Industrial Engineer?

An industrial engineer is to optimize the design of a production integrated system by combining his knowledge and skills in mathematics, physics, and social sciences with methods such as engineering analysis. The manpower and other various resources of the input system can be fully and effectively used to achieve the maximum output of the system. Industrial engineers design and optimize the design of a certain production system (product assembly line), so that the manpower and other various resources of the input system can be fully and effectively used, and various wastes are eliminated (reduced) to achieve the maximum output of the system . They are assistants, staff and think tanks for leaders at all levels. Through their work, assist managers to find problems, make correct production and management decisions, and provide scientific basis for management.

(1) Propaganda and design of industrial engineering concepts, reinventing human activity systems (production technology systems), organizational management systems, and public service systems.
(2) By optimizing the combination of various factors at the production site, improve production efficiency, ensure delivery time and quality, and ensure safe and green production.
(3) The use of industrial engineering methods to eliminate and reduce waste in design, process, production and management, and operation.
(4) Through research on product, facility and equipment design, logistics, manufacturing, etc., cooperate to improve product quality.
(5) Through the collection of data, the various systems within the organization can be evaluated and guided scientifically, impartially, and quantitatively.
The job division and content of trainee industrial engineers in actual work can be focused according to the specific conditions of the organization's activities, products, and services in different periods.
Certification object:
First, junior technical and managerial personnel who work in positions related to "industrial engineering" in the enterprise;

In today's world, the lack of energy, rising raw materials, and shortage of workers, competition in the international market is becoming increasingly fierce, and pollution problems have generally received attention. With the help of computer science and technology, industrial engineering has increasingly developed into a vibrant professional chemistry department, which can solve large and complex problems that exist in business operations. This trend will undoubtedly be the development direction of China's industrial engineering. With the complexity of industrial growth and the shortage of energy, the service industry and government agencies have provided industrial engineers with a wider range of employment opportunities than ever before.
Because industrial engineering is a combination of engineering technology and management, and possesses both engineering technology and management knowledge and skills, the price is relatively high in the entire labor market.
