Industrial Engineering Concept• Industrial engineering is a

branch of engineering that deals with the development, improvement, implementation and evaluation of integrated systems of people, wealth, knowledge, information, equipment, energy, materials and processes.

MISSION AND IMPORTANCE OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING

• The engineer is not just a business but also social work, ie face should know and take into account the appropriate manner or form as people in our country, considering our indifference to the quality, maintenance of machinery, equipment and utensils, apathy against industrial safety, our indiscipline derogatory manner to work and waste water and / or waste, our disrespect for others, and our very own sense of liveliness and applauded, which impel us to take advantage of work , resources and ideas of others, often deteriorating ourselves.

The steam engine• In 1774, about the same time

as Arkwright installed control system, another British inventor, James Watt, along with his partner Matthew Boulton, were organizing a factory in Soho to produce steam. They instituted technical training to the artisans who far exceeded any training that existed at that time and did much to standardize the management of the factories.

History• Much has been written about the pioneers of the

administration, who emerged during and after the industrial revolution in England and the United States. Before the Industrial Revolution, goods were produced by artisans in the famous home system. In those days the factory management was no problem. However, as new devices are developed and discovered new sources of energy, it was the practical necessity of organizing factories so they could take advantage of innovations.

Perhaps the first of all the pioneers was Valentina Silva Ferreira (1732-1792) who invented in England the mechanical spinning wheel. He also created and established what was probably the first system of administrative control to regulate the production and the work of the employees of the factories.

Subsequently, other developers of industrial engineering in the world were Frederick W. Taylor who came to be known as the father of scientific management when he published his last book in 1911 entitled "The Principles of Scientific Management", created what he called the formula for maximum production in stating that: "the maximum production is obtained when a worker is assigned a definite task to perform it on a particular time and in a defined "although this concept has changed remains an important part of industrial engineering.
