Whether it's streamlining an operating
room, distributing
products worldwide, improving customer relationships through the
internet, or
designing a new loan processing system for a bank, industrial engineers
can be
found leading these efforts.
With Industrial (Systems) Engineering
(IE), you will engineer complex
systems.By system we mean any
organization and/or business process in which people, materials,
information,
equipment, processes and/or energy interact in an integrated fashion,
throughout the life cycles of its associated products, services or
programmes.
By engineering we mean
the analysis,
design, installation, control, evaluation, and improvement of systems,
in a
manner that protects the integrity and health of the human, social, and
natural
ecologies.
University of Toronto’s
Industrial Engineers are unique in their ability to engineer an
organization’s
systems and business processes because of their multi-perspective
approach.Rather than just focus on
efficiency, UofT’s IE’s incorporate cost, quality, information, and
managerial
and behavioural expertise in their analyses.Their
goal is to engineer systems that address
all aspects of an
organization that affect its performance.
Though Industrial
Engineering originated
in Manufacturing, today, University
of Toronto’s
Industrial
(Systems) Engineers apply their skills across a diverse set of sectors
such as
financial, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, logistics, aviation and
education. Consequently, University
of Toronto’s IE’s
are
sought after by both industry and management consulting organizations
alike.
