Industrial engineer ’ s responsibilities at Sanpak are related to “ productivity and efficiency enhancement ” under Process Engineering Department . Various methods are applied there on improving productivity . The department follows 4M as their top priorities i . e . ( Man , Machine , Method and Material ). This basically comes in Ishikawa diagrams where causes of events are drawn on simple charts but they help get to the cause of events . In applying Six Sigma they are using DMAIC approach i . e . ( Define , Measure , Analyze , Control and Implement ). Using these techniques they are keen for productivity improvement . Using these techniques in the manufacturing of Alto and Mehran systems they have achieved 15 % productivity enhancement . They also perform Method studies where they are doing process study , motion study and total research . They are also performing Work Measurements where they are calculating Working Hours of their works and dealing with them in Work , Time ratio . Using Kaizen and Lean Manufacturing thoughts they are improving their lines and their efficiency .
Students should be given exposure to industries like Sanpak and other industries where industrial engineering activities take place . A visit to such industries is essential for undergraduate students as these things help student frame their mind to understand their responsibilities that they will be expected from in the future . Industries and Universities should combine themselves together where students should be taken to such places and perform case studies then in their classrooms students should be given tasks to solve problems . In this way understanding of student can reach up to a new level where not only they are learning the techniques they are also at the same time applying them to real world problems .
