Industrial Engineering

Overview

Industrial engineers get jobs as production engineers, supply chain managers, operations analysts, quality engineers and information system specialists. They may work in any business environment, company, governmental agencies, or service-oriented enterprise that aims to improve operations and reduce costs.

The department is to provide high quality undergraduate and graduate education and research opportunities for students. The Industrial Engineering program of the Isfahan University of Technology continuously improves its educational process to help students gain higher levels of engineering education and make professional contribution to the social life.

Research Activities

The numerous natural resources in Iran and particularly the variety of manufacturing organizations in Isfahan region led to the establishment of an Industrial Engineering department in 1981. The aim was to meet the growing need for production planning and management. It was in this department that, for the first time in Iran, a graduate program in systems planning was offered. The program aimed training analysts capable of identifying and solving problems of manufacturing management. The department has usually sought solutions to problems of industry through quantitative approaches. Part of the approach entails the development of mathematical models for under study problems to be ultimately solved by computer.

Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Modeling and Analysis of Production and Manufacturing, Modeling and Analysis of Probabilistic Systems (Air Traffic Scheduling), Optimization, Quality and Reliability Engineering, Transportation Systems, Enterprise Systems, Management and Decision Analysis, and Modeling and Analysis of Service Systems are some of the research fields in this department.
