In the last century, two decades on behalf of, IE has been greatly developed. Influential of which are:
Gilbreth couples (Frank Gilbreth and Lillian Gilbreth) to engage in action research (bricklaying experiment) and Industrial Psychology Research. 
Ford (Henry Ford) invented the assembly line of water;
Gantt (Harry Gantt) engaged in operations in accordance with the progress of research and planning skills to the level of pay and working hours of the piece-rate wage system research; Gantt bar chart used to control the graphics workflow and progress in work or completed at a glance, or even on to today's technology (Gantt Chart) is still widely used;
Harris (FW Harris) research and application of economic quantities of inventory control theory.
In the thirties, on the IE's most influential is the famous 'Hawthorne studies' (Hawthorne Works Studies): 1924 Western Electric Company in the United States (Western Electric Company) Hawthorne plant (Hawthorne Plant) made up to 10 two-year series of studies. Experiment was originally proposed by Western Electric engineers designed the IE, and later managed a group of Harvard graduate school involved. The beginning of the study was to explore 'different degrees of lighting impact on the performance,' the study found the assumption that the earlier 'influence of illumination on the performance' is not decisive, and even less relevance, but experimental studies dealing with the various efficiency of production to promote the role of follow-up study has confirmed the new experimental subjects will have a positive response to deal with that behavior change is due to environmental change (the emergence of subjects), rather than experimental manipulation caused as a result of this hypothetical effect of the current we often referred to as 'Hawthorne effect.' 'Hawthorne experiments' the first of the 'theory of interpersonal relations.'
Another major achievement was the Walter. A. Schewart the creation of Statistical Process Control, SPC, he was considered to be the quality of the father of statistical control. Deming early and working hours in the Hawthorne plant, quite affected. 
The mid-forty years, Britain and the United States published the information on the operational research results, once the attention of workers by the IE. OR, including mathematical programming, optimization theory, queuing theory, storage theory, game theory and other theories and methods, including more systematic discipline system, and can be used to describe, analyze and design a variety of different types of operating system. For example, the design (facility design), the main virtue of the traditional IE specialized industry knowledge and experience in the design workshop, warehouse layout and the best of the best locations, the use of nothing more than the traditional method of flow chart, model board, a list of norms and so on. OR is now available in line of analysis, mathematical programming, a more systematic, more convenient, more accurate design of various facilities, and facilities to the design of IE extended to other more complex and ambitious project of the system.
From this period. IE from experience and qualitative analysis to quantitative analysis of the main to the main. In fact, Shewhart (the founder of Control Charts), the development of these methods has been the management of real scientific basis, and is no longer just an art or experience. The objective of IE from the scene through the production of grass-roots operations research to reduce the labor costs go mainly to study the optimization of the overall system, reduce consumption of resources, improve the overall productivity of the main system.
In the age of 50,60, System Science (SS) have been making considerable progress. A kind of inherited the SS ideology and contains natural sciences, social scientific knowledge, claiming that the OR is also the theoretical basis for engineering applications but it is focused on the technology - Systems Engineering (System Engineering,, SE) come to the fore. SE philosophy with emphasis on system development and system analysis methods of training, but also contains rich natural and social sciences knowledge needed for IE is a 'commander' disciplines.
Since the 70s, especially in the last 10 years, IE's development there has been some new trends:
IE early in order to enhance the efficiency of manufacturing operations at the scene and improve the main production and management; modern IE is for the whole process of enterprise management.
Early man alone into IE, IE has become a modern enterprise CIMS, and then for enterprise development to the LAF integrated enterprise management infrastructure to provide an effective tool.
Early in the manufacturing sector should only be used IE, IE has access to modern transportation, construction, services and administration in a variety of industries
Many industrial engineering key areas, such as human factors, operations research, quality control, manufacturing, inventory control, supply chain management. Have achieved great results.
Dr. Dai Ming advocated by quality management, the Japanese Genichi Taguchi developed by Taguchi Method (Taguchi Method), Toyota's JIT (Just In Time) is a modern IE has brilliant results. |
