MS Industrial Engineering

Industrial and management systems engineers focus on improving performance for an entire system - productivity, quality, cost, safety, sustainability, employee health and market enhancement. Examples of typical systems that involve industrial engineers include manufacturing, healthcare, logistics and distribution, retail environments, government agencies, financial institutions - virtually any product or service that has complex processes. We balance inputs to achieve the greatest good for the organization and society - the right combination of human resources, natural resources, and man-made structures and equipment. Professionals in this field bridge the gap between management and operations, motivating people in addition to determining what equipment, information, etc., should be used and how.
