Industrial Engineering is System Efficiency Engineering and Human Effort Engineering.
There is synthesis of engineering systems in the form of products and processes that produce these product, operate these products and maintain these products.
Engineering systems that is products and processes have elements at the lowest level. A product has main assemblies, sub-assembles and components. Each component is made out of one or more materials. The components have dimensions. Each dimension has a tolerance. A process of producing a components has various operations that requires different machines and different sets. For each set up, work holding is required, tool holding is required, cutting fluid or other consumables are to be supplied. We can see the lower elements of engineering products and processes. Once a synthesis of a product and process are done, the facility is established and operations begin. Industrial engineers are engineers associated with shop floor or engineering operations to analyze each elements for its productivity. Continuous absorption of engineering knowledge, experimentation, experience absorption by engaging all operations personnel in developing and suggesting improving ideas, study of cost data both internal operations data and external market data facilitate continuous productivity improvement, cost reduction and waste elimination.
Industrial engineering is a very important activity to maintain and improve competitiveness.

Industrial Engineers do product industrial engineering, process industrial engineering, human effort industrial engineering, facilities industrial engineering, material and component flow industrial engineering.
Industrial engineers add profit to the company's bottom line every year.
Industrial engineering was motivated the presidential address of ASME President in 1880. The formal proposal for this department was made by F.W. Taylor in 1895 as "Elementary Rate Fixing Department." Gunn gave the term industrial engineers as the one who understands cost consequences of engineering decisions in 1901. Going wrote number of articles on IE and compiled a book. Diemer started the course in 1908. Japanese IE Shiego Shingo and managemer Taiichi Ohno did number of innovations in developing small batch quantity flow production. H.B. Maynard created MTM and MoSt to measure time taken human operators. Number of formulas were developed for estimating machine times.
Professor Narayana Rao, synthesized 100 years of development of industrial engineering into Taylor - Narayana Rao Principles of Industrial Engineering and presented in the birth state of Industrial Engineering in USA.
The principles gave rise to functions of industrial engineering and focus areas of industrial engineering.
The focus areas of industrial engineering provide the essential industrial engineering body of knowledge which needs to be part of IE curricula
