Father of industrial engineering is _______

  • Industrial engineering is an integrated approach to identifying the resources that will create the greatest possible outcome or product.
  • Industrial engineering is concerned with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment, and energy.
  • Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915), known as the father of industrial engineering, fostered a movement toward the increased application of scientific methods in the production process.
  •  For example, Taylor applied stopwatch time studies on workers and advocated the use of a differential piece rate system, whereby faster workers earn greater compensation than slower workers.
  • Taylor was an active promoter of scientific management, but not until the onset of World War I was the principles of scientific management widely applied in the United States, as industries sought to enhance their production capacity for the war effort.
