IE is a demand-driven management techniques. IE the emergence of capitalist primitive accumulation in order to resolve after the completion of the management of a new industrial development to increase the impact of productivity bottlenecks in the reality of needs. It by seeking to play a reasonable production organization and methods of potential workers in the actual production of the organization and management has achieved remarkable results. Of cost, efficiency and other objectives of management to effectively support and promote the great development of social productive forces, but also bring the entire Western industrialized process. To water production as an example, the Ford Motor Company, through high-volume assembly-line approach, a significant reduction in automobile costs and improved labor productivity, but also significantly improved business efficiency and market share. From the entire automotive industry, the water directly to change the mode of production of human practices, and promote the progress of the world automobile industry, led the auto industry entered a new era, and to promote the progress of society as a whole.
History of the development of IE is IE constantly extended the scope of application of the history, not just the application of such an extension of the number of enterprises and, more importantly, IE as a basic management technique to support enterprise management capabilities and the expansion of application fields. With this extension, upgrade the social productive forces and forms of economic progress. Figure 1 roughly illustrates the scope of development and management of IE and the link between the processes of industrialization relations. Figure 1 also shows that the new model at every stage of the emergence of new technologies and applications has to be the full development of the previous stage, based on non-leap. The implementation of a variety of advanced technology must be based on the application of IE, improve enterprise management based on the premise.
Throughout the course of Western industrialization, the conclusion can be: whether it is in a buyer's market or seller's market environment, the basis of management, efficiency, cost competitiveness has always been the capital, the accumulation process can not be omitted, it is to improve the competitiveness of enterprises basis, and industrial engineering support to achieve the objective of enterprise management philosophy and the basic technical means. Is this the law of the West came in, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong district also came, and we can not be an exception in China.
According to incomplete statistics, the whole of China has hundreds of companies to understand and apply in varying degrees IE, and there is access to a large number of significant results, including the FAW Group, Haier Group, Kelon Group, the United States of Group CAC Group, Huawei and other famous enterprises. Not only the traditional state-owned enterprises, many more private companies, foreign joint ventures. They are mechanisms for the management of innovation and pioneer of innovation, but also in China at the forefront of IE applications.
