Daniel Dwi Santoso is an industrial engineering student with student ID number 20190900002 studying at Universitas Buddhi Dharma in Indonesia. Industrial engineering is concerned with optimizing complex systems involving people, resources, equipment, and information. Industrial engineers use mathematics, science, engineering principles to specify, evaluate, and improve systems and processes to increase productivity and quality. The roots of industrial engineering date back to innovations of the Industrial Revolution that enabled mass production and the division of labor in factories.

2. INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
Industrial engineering is an engineering profession that is concerned with the optimization of
complex processes, systems, or organizations by developing, improving and implementing integrated
systems of people, money, knowledge, information, equipment, energy and materials. (Salvendy, Handbook
of industrial engineering)
Industrial engineers use specialized knowledge and skills 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 obtained from systems and processes.[1] From these results, they are able to create
new systems, processes or situations for the useful coordination of labour, materials and machines and also
improve the quality and productivity of systems, physical or social. (www.iienet2.org, 2015) (Lehrer, The
nature of industrial engineering) Depending on the sub-specialties involved, industrial engineering may also
overlap with, operations research, systems engineering, manufacturing engineering, production
engineering, supply chain engineering, management science, management engineering, financial
engineering, ergonomics or human factors engineering, safety engineering, or others, depending on the
viewpoint or motives of the user.
 Industrial Revolution
There is a general consensus among historians that the roots of the industrial engineering profession date
back to the Industrial Revolution. The technologies that helped mechanize traditional manual operations in
the textile industry including the flying shuttle, the spinning jenny, and perhaps most importantly the steam
engine generated economies of scale that made Mass production in centralized locations attractive for the
first time. The concept of the production system had its genesis in the factories created by these innovations.
(Maynard & Zandin)
 Specialization of labor
Adam Smith's concepts of Division of Labour and the "Invisible Hand" of capitalism introduced in his
treatise "The Wealth of Nations" motivated many of the technological innovators of the Industrial
revolution to establish and implement factory systems. The efforts of James Watt and Matthew Boulton led

3. to the first integrated machine manufacturing facility in the world, including the implementation of concepts
such as cost control systems to reduce waste and increase productivity and the institution of skills training
for craftsmen. (Maynard & Zandin)
Charles Babbage became associated with Industrial engineering because of the concepts he introduced in his
book "On the Economy of Machinery and Manufacturers" which he wrote as a result of his visits to
factories in England and the United States in the early 1800s. The book includes subjects such as the time
required to perform a specific task, the effects of subdividing tasks into smaller and less detailed elements,
and the advantages to be gained from repetitive tasks. (Maynard & Zandin)
