About this course:

This course will introduce participants to the mystifying world of the Industrial Engineer. As one of the least advertised but vitally important engineering disciplines, Industrial Engineering (IE) is concerned with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. Utilizing both traditional manufacturing controls as well as the newer practice of Lean manufacturing, IE draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems.
