Industrial Engineering (IE): Industrial Engineering (IE) is a profession in which a knowledge of mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, experience and practice is applied with judgment to develop the ways to utilize economically the materials and other natural resources and focus of nature for the benefit of mankind. It is also known as systems engineering, production engineering, and operations management. Industrial engineering is going to play a pivotal role in increasing productivity. We have lots of article on Industrial Engineering (IE). Which links are given below. A Comprehensive Study on Lean Manufacturing Process Lean Manufacturing:  Lean Manufacturing – A way to eliminate waste and improve efficiency in a manufacturing environment. Lean focuses on flow, the value stream and eliminating ‘muda’, the Japanese word for waste. Lean manufacturing is the production of goods using less of everything compared to traditional mass production: less waste, human e
