DEFINITION OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
Industrial Engineering is a scientific field that studies how to design, regulate
and apply all factors such as humans, machines, methods, materials, environment
and financial analysis and managerial studies into a system within the scope related
to industrial functions such as basic research, operational research , development of
a new product through industrial engineering, product design, work system design
and ergonomics, machine maintenance, quality control and quality, production
system automation to the factory feasibility analysis which includes comprehensive
and applicable management studies. (Indonesia, I. Teknologi;, 2020)
Industrial engineering focuses on the design, improvement, and installation
of integrated systems consisting of humans, materials, equipment, and energy to
specify, predict and evaluate the results obtained from an integrated system,
therefore knowledge and expertise in mathematics is needed, physics and social
sciences as well as principles and methodology/engineering. (Indonesia,
Universitas;, 2020)
Industrial Engineering consists of 2 words, namely engineering and
industrial. Engineering is the application of science to solve problems and make life
'better', while industrial is a practice in the world of manufacturing (making 'things'
or things). The engineering process carried out by an engineer is solving problems
(solving problems, analyzing) and designing systems (designing).
