Total Industrial Engineering Concept Unveiled

H. Yamashina of Japan developed World Class Manufacturing approach and he included Total Industrial Engineering along with Total Quality Management, Total productive Maintenance and Cost Deployment.

According to him TQM is the brain, TPM is the muscle and TIE is the humanware.

I am trying to find out the details of the concept. So far I could only access three or four slides on the concept. Covered in a post on Knol.

Vidoe on IE prepared by IIE and CIE

Video on industrial engineering

In April 2007, the Industrial Advisory Board of the Institute of Industrial Engineers awarded USD engineering seniors Mike Hoxter and Omar Damluji first-prize in its inaugural IAB You Tube video contest.

The contest asked students to make a video to promote the career of industrial engineering to high school students. Hoxter and Damluji came up with a hip, funny look at their major that played on the theme from the “Rocky” movies, complete with Damluji running up the steps above Linda Vista Road, clutching his textbooks.

Their ideas were “very clever,” said USD Associate Professor of Engineering Rick Olson.
