Industrial Engineering

Industrial Engineering is the disciplined, systematic, and holistic approach on the management of human resources, equipment, materials, capital, energy, information, and its environment. It covers three major areas of study namely; Production and Operations Management, Operations Research or Management Science, and Human Factors Engineering or Ergonomics. It seeks to design and/or improve systems to achieve maximum efficiency, effectiveness, quality, and investment return; minimum waste, losses, and costs; improve employee satisfaction, welfare, and performance; manage impact of business operations in its environment.

The Department of Industrial Engineering is recognized by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) as a Center of Development.

Mission

The Department of Industrial Engineering of DLSU envisions its graduates as a professional having work competence in the areas of Production/Operations Management, Management Sciences and Human Factors Engineering. Our graduates should acquire disciplined and systematic approach to the management of human resources, machine, materials, capital, energy and information, drawing upon knowledge and skills from the mathematical, physical and social sciences.

In addition, they should have adequate knowledge of the engineering processes thus developing an understanding of the implications of technical parameters, problems, opportunities and operations to the whole set of management systems, and, conversely, the implications of management decisions to the technical aspect of any enterprise.
