Unit 1, using dictionary.

Today's industrial engineering graduates are employed by all types of industry to design, improve and install systems (procedures and methods involving the use of man, machine, and materials). For the most part, they are concerned with production , although the analytic fact-finding approach used by these engineers is applicable to almost any business or service enterprise. Among the common functions performed by industrial engineers are the analysis of product design to determine the optimum manufacturing process ; the selection of equipment and design of the equipment layout; the design and installation of systems for controlling production, inventory, quality , or costs ; job design and methods improvement; design of material handling systems; manpower utilization and work measurement and operations research. Industries have found that their managers perform better when they possess a blend of technical engineering knowledge plus a background in management. The industrial engineer has an excellent understanding of these two fields ; technology and management.
