Industrial Engineer Duties, fields, salary

An industrial engineer is an engineer who works in the design, installation, improvement, and development of production, manufacturing, and services systems. Any system consists of elements of machines, materials, and workers. These elements work together to provide a product or service to the final consumer.
Here comes the role of the industrial engineer to work within the system, design, manage, improve, develop and solve problems

Duties of an industrial engineer

The industrial engineer studies the industrial engineering major within five years. During this period, he takes
Several sciences enable him to work in a field

Production and manufacturing systems
Service systems

We have detailed the sciences that an industrial engineer takes in an article on industrial engineering
We can divide the tasks into three parts

The difference between industrial, mechanical, electrical and mechatronics engineer

An industrial engineer works in industry and service systems
In the industry, such as factories and companies
Works in production and planning, quality control, materials management, human resources, marketing and sales, work study, logistics, safety, improvement and development of industrial systems, management, control and supervision of production work
As for service, he works
Planning, control and supervision of service work, total quality management, human resource management, customer study, marketing and logistics
Work study and analysis, improvement and development of services
As for the mechanic, he works on the design, installation, operation and management of small, medium and large machines and mechanical systems
The electrical engineer works in electrical systems, distribution and planning, and electrical machines
A mechatronics engineer works in mixed systems, as mechatronics is a specialty that combines mechanics with electronics with electricity
An industrial engineer can help come up with ideas for improving mechanical or electrical systems

industrial engineer salary

There is no specific salary for an industrial engineer because the salary varies from one country to another
And from one company to another
There are characteristics that determine the salary
– Experience and qualifications
-Functional class
The job grade determines the level and importance of the job within the job structure and determines the salary

There is a manager, supervisor, observer, worker, and so on
