Fall 2011 What is Industrial Engineering? Industrial engineers (IEs) figure out how to do things better. They engineer processes and systems that improve quality and productivity. IEs make significant contributions to their employers by saving money while making the workplace better for fellow workers. In addition to manufacturing, industrial engineers apply their skills in a variety of settings. 2
Fall 2011 What is Industrial Engineering? Example IE Positions: As a management engineer in a hospital, you may help doctors and nurses make the best use of their time in treating patients. You may also design procedures for optimum use of medical facilities to help bring the cost of healthcare down. As an ergonomist in a television manufacturing plant, you may change the tools workers use to assemble televisions to reduce the risk of repetitive stress injuries. As an operations analyst for an airline, you may design a bar coding system for identifying and transporting passengers’ luggage to ensure that it does not get lost. As a quality engineer for a public gas and electric company, you may improve customer satisfaction by designing a process to schedule service calls. As a manufacturing engineer for a manufacturing company, you may be managing the purchase and installation of new manufacturing equipment. 3

Fall 2011 Student Success Kasie Johnson (IDM, Sp ’ 04) – “Good afternoon! I haven't spoken with either of you in a while, but I want to make a point to always keep in touch and make sure that all is going well! I also wanted to keep you updated on what's going on in my career and pass on a special thanks b/c of much my success is owed to you! I received my MBA in May '06 and have recently been promoted to an Operations Manager position here at Gulfstream, where I am responsible for managing the production of the forward section A/C panels and 40 employees. I was in an IE position prior to that. ” 15
Fall 2011 Student Success Charmorge Miller (ISE, F ’ 04) – “I haven't emailed you guys in a while, so I decided give everyone an update of what is going on in my professional career. I am now working at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Division in New Orleans, Louisiana as a Manufacturing Engineer. I am responsible for providing the support needed to manufacture the external tanks for the NASA space program. Although I enjoyed my time at Bell. South with all of the traveling, I grew tired of the corporate environment. . The job at Lockheed lacks the red tape and allows me to get back into the area of industrial engineering I enjoy the most: Manufacturing. . " 16
Fall 2011 17 Student Success Roy Jackson (IDM, Sp. ’ 06) - “Things could not have worked out better for me coming out of Mercer with an IDM degree. I came straight out of school with a good job in my major related field. I started working June 5, 2006 at Southwire in Carrollton Ga. I must say that my college courses were great exposure to what I could expect in my job as an industrial engineer. I have only been working for 3 months, but so far, I have been quick to relate all engineering concepts on the job to concepts in the classroom. My first week as an industrial engineer, I was sent to a Southwire plant in Kentucky to be part of a Kaizen event using Value Stream Mapping to improve a wire making process. The event was led by Jim Price of the University of Kentucky Center for Manufacturing. As part of the class, he went pretty in depth on lean manufacturing theory, which was a basically a review of my college experience. I was the youngest person there and knew nothing of the wire making industry, but I was completely comfortable discussing lean concepts and leading discussions among a group of older, more experienced engineers. I have since become the Carrollton Building Wire Plant guru for Value Stream Mapping. We are currently making the transition to lean manufacturing that we call OPS (Operation Perfection at Southwire). I am quite comfortable discussing lean concepts and have helped with the implementation of several projects in our plant. We have used the Value Stream Mapping exercise to set a priority list for addressing improvement projects ranging from machine scheduling to supermarket WIP control to more accurate sales forecasting. ”
