Even the very basic understanding and applications of Lean Manufacturing tools can produce monumental savings throughout various supply chains . This is where we need to grow , this is where we need to explain our role , and in less than a decade these 1.3 % engineers could be carrying multiple cell phones for more than just mugging precautions ; endless interview calls and offers ! But there ’ s more to our goal beyond these numbers . The need of the hour is to cultivate a culture that strives to catch up with global industrialization . We can take up the responsibility of alleviating the exist-ing flaws and gaps not only in the form of material and capital , but also in the shape of a revolution in mindset of our Industrial Sector . Change is never easy and this country has a habit of learning that the hard way , and we must step up and challenge the status quo of long lasting traditions and work ethics that repel the modern area of Industrial revolution . Even the theory of Project Management suggests the tools and techniques are nothing more than 33 % of the Management process , and the bulk 66 % is reliant on Organizational Structures and Organizational Behavior ; which is our biggest drawback . Countering that would be a giant leap towards Stability and Reliability in our Industries , and a platform for International Recognition and bringing back Multinational manufacturers in the region . Supply Chain is globally acclaimed and is a fantastic career path , but the journey towards excellence can never precede Stability . It is undoubtedly the next step for future Industrial Engineering Professionals , but the first step to direct and align the existing disoriented operations is up to us . And the facts are there to give us the vision of our initiation ; Implementation of Sustainable and Transparent Quality Management Systems and Lean Manufacturing Systems to eradicate any and every special cause highlighted in the Control Chart of our Industrial and Manufacturing Sectors performance , with the greatest emphasis not on material , machines and methods but on the grooming , training , calibration , cultural upgrade and de-velopment of the most important “ M ” of the lot ; Man . And how do we do it ? We go by the book and do what we do best ; “ An Industrial Engineer designs and optimizes systems ”.
“ AN INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER DESIGNS AND OPTIMIZES SYSTEMS ”.
