A
Day
in
the
Life
(Career
Profile)
Industrial
engineers
analyze
and
evaluate
methods
of
production
and
point
out
ways
to
improve
them.
They
decide
how
a
company
should
allocate
its
limited
tangible
resources
(equipment
and
labor)
within
the
framework
of
existing
physical
constraints
(physical
plant).
Each
company
that
hires
an
industrial
engineer,
either
as
a
consultant
or
as
an
internal
manager,
has
its
own
specific
limitations.
An
industrial
engineer
must
quickly
become
an
expert
not
only
in
the
manufacturing
and
production
processes
of
the
industry,
but
also
in
the
specific
culture,
problems,
and
challenges
that
the
company
faces.
This
may
mean
face-to-face
meetings
with
executives,
extensive
stays
on
manufacturing
floors,
and
review
of
historical
production
data.
Industrial
engineers
receive
information
from
others
about
what
goes
on
in
the
day-to-day
work
environment,
but
they
must
also
make
their
own
observations
of
these
activities.
Many
employees
are
uncomfortable
being
"watched"
by
industrial
engineers,
and
industrial
engineers
often
walk
a
thin
line
between
being
an
analyst
and
being
a
detective.
An
industrial
engineer's
most
difficult
task
is
communicating
his
observations
and
suggestions
to
company
executives,
many
of
whom
are
emotionally
invested
in
their
traditional
way
of
doing
business.
Industrial
engineers
must
be
tactful
in
what
they
say
and
in
how
they
say
it.
In
addition
to
tact,
being
a
successful
industrial
engineer
requires
charm
and
the
willingness
to
stand
by
one's
recommendations
even
in
the
face
of
unresponsive
management.
The
large
majority
of
industrial
engineers--around
70
percent--works
at
manufacturing
companies,
and
many
have
specific
areas
of
specialization,
such
as
assembly,
raw-product
processing,
or
administrative
(paperwork)
practices.
Most
industrial
engineers
have
good
working
conditions,
intellectually
challenging
work,
and
a
high
level
of
satisfaction.
Hours
can
be
long,
but
this
tends
to
be
outweighed
by
the
satisfaction
derived
from
the
education
that
each
different
project
brings.
