The position, function, characteristics and scope of industrial engineering (IE), together with the industrialization process of human society, has gone through a history of more than one hundred years, which has greatly promoted the economic and social development of human society, especially in the West. Many industrialized countries in the world, such as the United States, Germany, Japan, Britain and so on. , has a close relationship with its strong industrial and industrial engineering (IE) strength. In the United States, industrial engineering (IE) is called "seven major projects" together with mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, computer engineering and aviation engineering, which shows its uniqueness and importance. Industrial engineering (IE) has always been highly valued by the industry in the above-mentioned industrialized countries, because IE directly faces the production and operation process of enterprises. It is closely related to mathematics, human factors, economic management and various engineering technologies. Based on the philosophy of system engineering, the theoretical basis of operational research and other mathematical methods, modern information technology is used as a tool, and the practical engineering and management problems in various complex enterprises or organizational systems, including manufacturing and service industries, are quantitatively and systematically analyzed by using the engineering quantitative analysis method. Industrial Engineering (IE) is the only engineering technology that aims at system efficiency and benefit, so it has become a comprehensive frontier discipline that cannot be replaced by other projects and is highly complementary to other projects. The role of industrial engineering (IE) First of all, IE is a tool for setting operating standards and time. If there is no such operating standard and time setting, not only can the production plan of the factory not be made, but even overcapacity or insufficient capacity is unknown. Therefore, standardized operation and time setting are indispensable things in modern enterprise management. Secondly, IE is an improved tool for engineering analysis. In the past, IE subdivided the factory and gradually improved it. But now this method can only be applied to partial improvement. Because it can not be directly linked with the interests of enterprises, the method of overall analysis first and then improvement is gradually adopted. Characteristics of industrial engineering (IE) 1. IE is based on engineering technology and uses scientific management skills to find/solve/prevent problems; The ultimate goal of 2.2. IE is to make the enterprise get the maximum benefit through management and operation, so it is related to cost or economic benefit, including system, operation method, machine, mold and fixture, etc. 3.IE is an applied science, and its operation theory should meet the actual needs, so IE engineers should have practical ability, so that theory and practice can complement each other and ensure the management effect; 4.IE uses key management skills to make key breakthroughs in the problems it faces. The main scope of industrial engineering (IE) At present, the main scope of IE is: engineering analysis, work standards, action research, time research, time standards, time value, value analysis (V.A), factory layout, handling design, etc. Edit the representative achievements and development trend of industrial engineering (IE) in this section. Like any engineering technology, industrial engineering (IE) has its representative achievements, such as the "production mode" that has always dominated industrial development in the field of production systems. The earliest achievement of industrial engineering (IE) is "Ford production mode", which is based on large-scale assembly line production mode to improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs. This mode of production has dominated the industrial process for half a century. With the development of market and technology, and people's long-term practice, understanding and research on industrial development, in the past thirty years, various advanced production modes have emerged one after another, such as Just In Time )- JIT and lean production, which have had an important impact on the development of Japanese automobile industry and world manufacturing industry. Agile manufacturing with the characteristics of American information age and mass customization that people talk a lot about now. Each mode of production greatly affects the operation of the whole enterprise. By improving the business process of enterprises, the management mode of enterprises has been changed and developed, thus promoting the rapid development of all mankind for nearly half a century. The development trend of industrial engineering (IE) The recent development trend of IE is source management. IE used to solve the problem of how to improve the designed products in the production process. The production department will at most feed back the design with poor production efficiency to the design department for improvement. However, in this super-competitive era, in product development, it is more important to design more efficient products according to the principle of IE. It's time for the design department to incorporate the principle of IE into the design. The production department should know whether it is feasible and give guidance and improvement. With the development of it technology such as digital and analog technology, all these become feasible. The research purpose of IE is to make a (1) systematic analysis of the work centered on the production site: as the result that the current system should achieve, when the expected result is not achieved, the research on problem discovery and control management will be carried out. (2) Improvement of the system: When the achievements of the current system are not sufficient and the operation is inconvenient, and some of them need to be improved, research the improvement methods. (3) Design of the system: When the current system can't achieve the complete effect under new circumstances, look for requirements to study and design a new system. Classification of IE Basic IE and Application IE (1) Basic IE belongs to classical IE, which refers to method engineering (ME) and WM: work measurement (WM). (2) The application of IE is based on the basic IE and takes all factors in production activities as the object IE, including QC, VE, OR, etc. Method research and job determination (1) Basic IE can be divided into method research and job determination. (2) The purpose of method research is to design and improve the operating system. The analysis of the operator's actions, the operation of the operator and equipment, and the field process analysis all belong to method research. Through the method research, we can redesign the operating system, design the business, shorten the operating time and make it develop into an ideal system. (3) Activity measurement is a technique to analyze efficiency, including setting standard time and improvement, setting target time and measuring activity efficiency. Although job measurement focuses on the productivity of the website, it should expand its field to improve the productivity of system and management measurement. IE's analysis system? 8? In the analysis system of 1 IE, every operation and systematic operation are analyzed through method research, and the best method is emphasized. By analyzing the operation state and measuring the unit operation time in operation measurement, the standard time and workload are set. ? 8? 1 According to the method research and operation measurement, design and maintain the best operating system through the combination of the best method and time set. IE's research field is human factors engineering: comprehensive application of knowledge about feeling, perception, intelligence and psychological movement in the engineering design of facilities to improve the operation level and the quality of workers' work. Manufacturing system engineering: requirements planning, analysis and design of manufacturing methods. Technology and integrated systems include equipment, control, service, management and new technologies, such as computers: computer aided design/computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), automatic control, robots and computer control.
