Industrial engineering focuses on optimizing processes and systems by integrating technical skills with business acumen. Originating during the industrial revolution and advanced by pioneers like Frederick Taylor, Henri Fayol, and Henry Ford, this field aims to enhance efficiency in production and service delivery.
Industrial engineers determine the most effective ways for an organization to use the basic factors of production such as people, machines, materials, information, time, money, and energy to elaborate a product or produce a service in the more efficient and quality way.
