Industrial engineering is a specialized branch of engineering, responsible for the design and optimization of complex systems and processes. Despite what its name might indicate, the industrial engineering is not only restricted to industry but to optimizing every process, system, or organization. The aim is to achieve optimum performance when it comes to providing services or create products.
An industrial engineer requires a learning in the University, and like other branches of engineering, industrial engineering requires knowledge of statistics, quality control, sociology, psychology, finance and, of course, mathematics, physics and chemistry. Similarly, modern industrial engineers valen's simulations by computer to facilitate the work and deliver better results, in an effort that requires knowledge of mathematical models and computational methods.
