Industrial engineering is concerned with the design, improvement and
installation of integrated systems of people, material, information, equipment
and energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skills in the mathematical,
physical and social sciences, together with the principles and methods of
engineering analysis and design to specify, predict and evaluate the results to
be obtained from such systems.
