Chronology of ISE

The industrial revolution in large part led to the emergence of industrial engineering as a profession

Babbage thought to specialize labor by skill required

Taylor really started ISE Analyze and improve the work method Reduce the times required for the work Set standards for the times required

7

Chronology of ISE (cont.)

Gilbreth extended work of Taylor to consider the human aspects of work to include motion involved in work

Henry Gantt developed his chart to preplan, schedule, and monitor work activity

Shewhart developed the fundamental principles of statistical process control Disciples became big names in quality

8

What is “ISE”?

Industrial & Systems Engineering is concerned with The design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information,

equipment, and energy.

It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the 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.

9

Design Impacts

Industrial and systems engineers design systems at two levels

The first level is called the human activity level and is concerned with how work gets accomplished

The second level is called the management control system level and addresses the planning, measurement, and control of organizational activities

10

Level One Elements

Processes within the organization

Layout of facilities and machines

Design of the workplace

Storage space and location

Work methods

11

Level Two Elements

Planning systems

Forecasting systems

Material and inventory planning and control

Scheduling activities

Cost control and analysis

Quality control system

12

“ISE” and “Operations Research”

“Industrial & Systems Engineering” = “Branch of Engineering Concerned with Integrating and Improving Systems” ISEs can use “OR” tools to do this, usually with

the help of a computer ISEs focus on problems in Logistics,

Scheduling, Healthcare, etc. that have an optimization focus and that have a “scale” large enough to utilize OR tools

ISEs use “OR” to formulate design problems and generate solutions

13

Why the Comparison?

Pure Operations Research has a heavy mathematical and computational orientation There are many mathematical details to formulating

problems successfully There are many computational (computer

programming, algorithmic) details to successfully finding “optimal” solutions to a stated problem

ISE applications of OR do not have as high a theoretical mathematical or algorithmic content

ISEs try to use the correct technique to improve the integrated system under investigation, including OR when appropriate

14

Model Formulation and Solution

Mathematical optimization model formulation and solution Represent the system or phenomena in some set of algebraic

structures Uses the “decision-makers” view, usually different from the “real-world”

view Simulation models have a closer mapping to real world details

Encode the resulting model in a computer via some modeling language GAMS, X-Press, Excel

Find a “solution” to the model (hopefully “optimal”)

Solution algorithms vary for linear, nonlinear and integer decision variables

Solutions generated suggest new designs for a system A “prescriptive” decision technique

Trying to find a “best” solution with which to prescribe how to make the best use of limited resources

Inventory/Supply Chain Management

Plan production quantities to meet customer demands on time with a high level of certainty at a minimum cost/maximum profit

Coordinate production/inventories between stages of the “Supply Chain”

Issues Costs for production, inventory, shortages, setups, etc. Variability in demand, supply Lead times in production, transportation

20

Product/Service Analysis

Will it be profitable?

Is product compatible with production line?

Can it be manufactured?

Where are there opportunities for improvement?

Analyze distribution of product or delivery of service to customers

21

Manufacturing Process

What is the best process by which to manufacture and assemble the product

What is the mix of equipment, robots, or personnel

How can the assembly lines best be balanced

What is the best material flow and material handling procedures

22

Facilities Concerns

What is the best facility layout?

How should material and goods be stored?

What maintenance processes should be adopted to include preventative maintenance, test, and inspection

Utilities required

Security and emergency planning

23

Prod. Planning & Control

Forecast potential sales

Are capacity and resources being utilized to their capabilities

Studying Mathematical or Logical Models

If model is simple enough, use ISE mathematical analysis … get exact results, lots of insight into model Queueing theory Differential equations Linear programming

But complex systems can seldom be validly represented by a simple analytic model Danger of over-simplifying assumptions … model

validity? The simplified model can provide valid bounds

Often, a complex system requires a complex model, and analytical methods don’t apply … what to do?

26

Discrete Event Simulation

“A model of a system as it evolves over time where the state of the system changes at discrete points in time”

Necessary when systems involve humans and logical connections between components

The “engine” of common ISE simulation software is built on the discrete event approach: ARENA (used in ISE 4712), FlexSim, AnyLogic etc.

The “logic” for the common ISE simulation software is built on the “process flow” approach.

Add animation to help communicate the model to the people operating the system.

27

Process Flow Description of Systems

To build the model on the computer, use a “process-flow” approach

Systems consist of: Entities (Customers, Parts) Resources (Machines, People) Routings (Logic, Networks) Input Data (Times, Probabilities) Performance Measures (Times, Utilizations)
