This free online course on the Principles of Industrial Engineering will begin by introducing you to the engineering approach to the various aspects of production and distribution of goods. You will learn the principles, tools, and techniques associated with the industrial engineering field. You will also learn in detail about the organizational structure of the industrial engineering industry, and the types of Industries available in this sector.
This course will then introduce you to the core of Industrial Engineering and how it ensures the utilization of goods and services are realized through the optimum use of resources. The optimization of the various processes in use for producing goods and services, through the development, improvement, and implementation of the integrated system of resources that are in use during production.
Finally, this course will introduce you to the multi-disciplinary approach of Industrial Engineering as it involves the knowledge of science and mathematical principles to evaluate and predict the resources needed to produce goods and services. You will learn how to reduce wastage of resources while improving the utilization of resources and increasing the efficiency as well as the effectiveness of the system.
