Industrial Engineering is concerned with the design, improvement, installation and operation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment and energy. Industrial engineers determine the most effective ways to use the basic factors of production — people, machines, materials, information and energy — to make a product or provide a service. Industrial engineering draws upon specialized knowledge and skill 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. The underlying concepts of industrial engineering include certain business principles, but industrial engineering emphasizes the use of mathematics and information technology to build models to describe, understand and optimize system performance. Depending on the subspecialties involved and intended application, industrial engineering may also be known as operations management, management science, operations research, systems engineering or manufacturing engineering. For example, in health care industrial engineers are more commonly known as health management engineers or health systems engineers.
