Industrial Production Engineering

Production Engineering is a branch of engineering concerned with the development, improvement, implementation and evaluation of integrated systems of people, money, knowledge, information, equipment, energy, material and process. It also deals with designing new prototypes to help save money and make the prototype better. Industrial engineering /Production Engineeringdraws upon the principles and methods of engineering analysis and synthesis, as well as mathematical, physical and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify,predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems. Production & Industrial Engineering is a course which equips a person with the vital technical, analytical and managerial skills  required for production & management of time, labour, and resources in an industry for it to run successfully.
