We use specialized knowledge and skills with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate the results obtained from systems and processes.

There are several industrial engineering principles followed in the manufacturing industry to ensure the effective flow of the systems, processes and operations.

These principles allow the creation of new systems, processes or situations for the useful coordination of labour, materials and machines and also improve the quality and productivity of systems, physical or social.

Depending on the sub-specialties involved, industrial engineering may also overlap with, operations research, systems engineering, manufacturing engineering, production engineering, supply chain engineering, management science, management engineering, financial engineering, ergonomics or human factors engineering, safety engineering, logistics engineering or others, depending on the viewpoint or motives of the user.
