This page, Industrial Engineering, was copied some time ago from Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering. The latter has a lot of history to it, so should not be deleted. The pages for the other forms of Industrial Engineering are simple REDIRECT pages, but could be explanations of the history of these forms. The explanations of the techniques used should be, perhaps, separate articles; but we have very few of these techniques linked. Joe1011010 19:56, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

This is currently a bit buzzwordy. It could do with some plainer English, from someone knowledgeable enough to pare it down without gutting it. In addition, it would probably help to clarify why industrial engineering isn't synonymous with logistics, logistic engineering, or supply chain management (a question I don't know the answer to). --Delirium 06:08, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

It is often difficult for people on the inside of a topic to recognise buzzwords - can you give an example paragraph? Logistics, etc. is the transportation, movement or similar of goods and making sure they are available where they are needed. Industrial Engineering is concerned with the Manufacturing of goods with a limited concern for their transportation as they are made in fixed location factories. Generally speaking the Manufacturing and Logistics elements are done by separate companies. Joe1011010 23:22, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

I do not understand why the very long list of universities involved in metallurgical and materials engineering.... since when is this equivalent to industrial engineering? Marcelo1229 November 21, 2006

Under producibility, it refers to surface mount technology as recent. It is at least 20 years old, which makes it almost as old as electronics manufacture itself! 71.48.133.61

Hallo everybody! My name is Gabriele Levy and I am an industrial engineer working in Italy. I wanted to say that the terms INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING in the italian language are translated INGEGNERIA GESTIONALE, and the correspondent italian wikipedia site for Industrial Engineering is http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingegneria_gestionale

Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gabriele.levy (talk • contribs) 12:36, 29 January 2007 (UTC).
