</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">To survive in today’s highly competitive world, industries and business organisations need managers and decision-makers who can apply mathematical concepts and scientific management techniques to resolve technical issues in a cost-effective way. The industrial engineering field has extensively been documented as a major source of management talent. An industrial engineer along with understanding these problems, is able to devise and carry out methods to solve them. </span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Industrial engineers focus on increasing quality and productivity
through:</span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Technology. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">To increase efficiency and effectiveness, industrial engineers carefully study the requirements of product/service and then to meet those requirements they design manufacturing and information systems with the help of mathematical methods and models. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">They
develop control systems such as management control systems to support financial planning and cost
analysis, and production planning and control systems to coordinate
activities and ensure quality of product. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">They deal with developing or improving the physical distribution systems to provide goods and services to final destinations. They also determine the most
efficient plant locations, develop wage and salary
administration systems and job evaluation programs. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Industrial engineers increase efficiency keeping in mind the cost control factors. therefore they are also useful for most industries including nonprofits. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">They are not as specialized as other engineers, hence they are employed in a wide range of other industries, including hospitals, consulting and engineering services, and research & development firms. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">They are versatile because their expertise focuses on reducing internal costs, making their work valuable for many industries.

It is not such a daunting task and requires maximum of three days for the procedure that you will have to carry out.<br />
<br />
Personally going through the process and not finding about it anywhere on the internet I thought I should share with my fellow Pakistanis related to it.<br />
<br />
Following are the documents that you should arrange before going to NADRA Office for name change/correction:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>An affidavit (halaf nama) on a <a href="http://brain.net.pk/~azeem/affidavit.jpg" target="_blank">stamp paper</a> worth Rs. 20/- (can be collected from the court you visit) stating that you have decided to either correct or change your name written in the current CNIC and get it signed by 1st Class Magistrate. This is done from nearby District Courts (Kachehri). </li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">You will have to give a name change/correction advertisement in one English Newspaper and two Urdu Newspapers e.g. (The Nation, Nawa-e-Waqt and Jang).</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">Original Educational Documents e.g. (Matric, Intermediate) or any supporting document according to which you are proposing to change/correct the name.</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
The process inside NADRA Office:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Collect token from teller machine and wait for your number (The toughest patience task)</li>
<li>Upon your turn show your documents to the person on the counter follow his instructions and collect a receipt number from him which will be your identification inside the office for next processes</li>
<li>Go to photo section and get a new shot</li>
<li>Go for thumb impression desk for thumb verification</li>
<li>Go to data entry desk to re-enter your date, <u>this is the point where you have to tell the person that you have applied for name change/correction.</u> Show him your documents again and also check through as he re-enters your remaining details. <i>A print of form will be sent from this desk.</i></li>
<li>Collect the form</li>
<li>Final Desk will re-check all your supporting documents and will issue you the form with his signatures.</li>
<li>Get this form attested from 18th grade government officer.</li>
<li>Bring the attested form along with supporting original documents (Matric Certificate, Inter Certificate, Affidavit copy, Newspaper cuttings) to the office and visit the counter saying (Form Receiving)</li>
<li>Submit the form and they will tell you time (minutes, days) after which you can collect your CNIC from the CNIC receiving counter. </li>
</ol>
<div>
Simple, but very tiring and exhausting if you don't know the processes and you are completely new to the office. There are no volunteers to support or assist you in the office. This information might still not be complete or I might be missing out something. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If so, I would be happy to hear from you about it.</div>

There isn’t a meeting without mentioning it at least once, and when it is mentioned, the phrase we have to eliminate waste follows. This is something that is very easy to say: eliminate waste. Go to a meeting, and when somebody says waste, jump in and say: ”we have to eliminate the waste!”. People will look at you and nod. But I’m afraid it is not that simple in most of the cases. Eliminating something is way easier than understanding a system, finding the waste and acting properly. Again, acting properly. Immediate elimination seems easy, but most of the times it solves only the local issue, and has a short term effect. So, please stop saying ”we have to eliminate the waste!”, and start saying ”we have to study our system, find out what kind of waste we are dealing with, and where it is generated!”<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://zsoltfabok.com/images/posts/2012-08-06-waste-in-software-development/waste_waste_everywhere.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" src="http://zsoltfabok.com/images/posts/2012-08-06-waste-in-software-development/waste_waste_everywhere.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
So, according to Taiichi Ohno - inventor of the Toyota Production System (on the right) -, there are three kinds of waste, which slow down the process by increasing the lead time:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Muda</li>
<li>Mura</li>
<li>Muri</li>
</ol>
<br />
They are very well explained in the car manufacturing context by Ohno, so I’ll put them into a software development context.<br />
<br />
<b>Muda</b><br />
<br />
Muda is an activity in the process which doesn’t add value to the product. When we are talking about waste we are actually referring to muda. According to the Toyota Production System muda falls into seven major categories.<br />
<br />
<b>Corrections</b><br />
<br />
In other words: defects or bugs. They are the result of poor code quality. Fixing the defects or setting goals on the number of defects in the system won’t eliminate this kind of waste. Instead, it will hide them, or transfer them to a different place. This kind of waste is a well known sign that something is wrong in the process. The right move here is to find the place which is malfunctioning and fix it.<br />
<br />
<b>Over-production</b><br />
<br />
Over-production happens when an organization does not understand the change in the customer demand and therefore produces too much or too early. In other words, you have an existing product, and you are adding features to this product, but they no longer provide value to your customers or they cannot use them at all. For example, adding features to a website which runs only in Internet Explorer.<br />
<br />
<b>Over-processing</b><br />
<br />
This kind of waste is generated when we add things to the product that the customer didn’t ask for. Developing these things takes time and money, they unnecessarily increase the complexity of the system, and increase the possibility that new problems will appear. For example, your customer asks for a simple website and you deliver a complete JavaEE solution when a static website have done the trick.<br />
<br />
<b>Transportation</b><br />
<br />
The transportation waste is generated when materials are moved around the factory. Moving materials is expensive and dangerous. Fortunately, we don’t move materials around the office, but we move a lot of information through several unnecessary middlemen. This can take some time and in the meantime the information can change, get lost or become obsolete. For example, you cannot talk directly to the other teams or cannot download logs from the production system.<br />
<br />
<b>Motion</b><br />
<br />
Motion is very similar to transportation, but it is about the people. This waste is generated when the people have to make rounds in order to get the job done, they are using the wrong tools, don’t have all the information to do the job, or get reassigned. For example, you have to use gedit for javascript development, because your company doesn’t want to buy you a more suitable development environment.<br />
<br />
<b>Inventory</b><br />
<br />
Inventory waste is generated when the output of a phase cannot be immediately used by the next phase, or the finished product cannot be delivered to the customer. For example, your architects are writing you studies about what the system should support next year, but the developer teams cannot pull anything from them for months.<br />
<br />
<b>Waiting</b><br />
<br />
Waiting is a very tricky one, because its quantity is highly subjective: I would say that I’ve been waiting for a long time now after waiting 3 or 4 hours, but my girlfriend would say this after 20 minutes. By definition, the waiting waste is generated when a team member is idle, because he or she cannot do anything at all. For example, testers are waiting for the new package installation to be finished. They cannot do anything (testing, improvements, etc.), because their system is being installed. Pulling a work item from a different queue doesn’t make too much sense either. The installation will definitely be finished before they can finish the pulled item, and finishing the item will delay the real testing work. So they stay idle instead.<br />
<br />
<b>One more thing: administration</b><br />
<br />
This kind of waste was never mentioned by Ohno, I made it up myself. The administrational waste doesn’t really fit into any of the categories above, because it generates all kinds of waste. It is generated by the organization itself, mostly by management. For example, a status meeting has no value to the customer (over-processing), it keeps people away from their jobs (motion), and the distributed information changes all the time (transportation).<br />
<br />
<b>Muri</b><br />
<br />
Muri causes overburden by putting unnecessary pressure on people and processes. For example, asking a junior team member to implement a brand new feature, or using a system which served 1,000 customer requests a day previously to now serve 100,000 requests.<br />
<br />
<b>Mura</b><br />
<br />
Mura refers to inconsistency, unevenness or unbalanced demand situations in the system. For example, the workload is usually not that high at the beginning of the project, but always becomes high at the end of it. Unfortunately, Mura is a bit underrated, but it is important to know that it generates Muda and Muri. For example, when the demand increases, most of the people start to make mistakes (correction waste), forget important details (transportation waste), have to report more (administration waste) or get reassigned (motion waste). When the demand is lower, we tend to pile up work (inventory waste) or do what we think is necessary (over-processing waste).<br />
<br />
<b>Final thoughts</b><br />
<br />
As you can see, it is crucial to understand the demand. Once you understand it, you can start looking for the tasks which generate waste in your process and apply the right technique to eliminate them. You might have realised that there are no suggestions in this post on how to eliminate a certain kind of waste. It is intentional: I strongly believe that there is no generic solution in eliminating waste, and without knowing the context even a seemingly innocuous idea can cause a lot harm of the system.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632512838338689531.post-61954434464621515642013-09-21T07:08:00.002-07:002013-09-21T07:08:14.480-07:00Industrial Engineers "On the Job"<h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Industrial engineers design systems for producing goods. They try to use people and machines efficiently.<br />Most engineers are concerned with creating structures such as bridges or nuclear power plants. In contrast, industrial engineers are concerned about the management of people and equipment. They attempt to design ways of creating goods that use these resources without much waste. For example, engineers try to set up assembly lines so that workers can rest briefly between items. If items move too quickly, workers may work too hard. If items move too slowly, workers may become bored rapidly. Similarly, engineers try to set up production so that machines are almost always in use.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /><br />Before they can design systems, industrial engineers must learn about the items being produced. They review the steps that products go through as they are being processed. Engineers learn about each task that workers perform and the machines they use. At existing factories, they also evaluate the current setup of equipment. Once they understand the process, engineers determine the best way to set it up. They use many tools and techniques to do this, including computers, drafting tools, and statistical software. Then, they write reports and create diagrams that show their setup recommendations. They may recommend changing the order in which materials are processed or how many steps different workers complete. They may also design new equipment. Many industrial engineers do mathematical calculations about how their changes will improve production.<br /><br />Industrial engineers must also monitor the costs and savings of their changes. They also manage the results of their recommendations. They especially focus on the quality and reliability of products or projects. They regularly consult with vendors, managers, and employees to discuss changes and generate ideas. Any time something goes wrong, engineers step in to determine what happened and what needs to be done to fix it.<br /><br />Some engineers specialize in improving the output from workers. They may suggest ways to encourage workers to work faster or with fewer errors. All engineers keep records of their ideas, designs, changes, budgets, and any problems.</span></div>

Congratulations! to the Industrial Engineering Student Chapter at UMT, which has garnered national recognition with the Gold Award from the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE), honoring student achievement during the 2011-2012 academic years.<br />
<br />
The Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) Student Chapter at UMT is the premier organized campus chapter. It was founded in January 2011. Prof. Farhan Daud Qazi has served as the faculty advisor of the IIE Student Chapter since its inception. <br />
<br />
University of Management and Technology is the only university from Pakistan that has received the Gold Award. This award shows how UMT's Industrial Engineering program students are willing to help each other and serve their community. Their willingness, hard work, commitment, and team work brought this important and prestigious award to UMT. We will soon be arranging a celebration event at UMT-IIE Student Chapter along with our members because it is a big success for all of us! <br />

<br />
Students visited local heavy mechanical industries gaining knowledge about the on field industrial engineering applications; organized various functions including membership camp, oath taking ceremony, and orientation for new students, seminars and lectures on important IE topics such as Arena Simulation software. First time ever from Pakistan our student members participated in the Annual Rockwell's Arena Simulation competition and this year participating again. We also conducted the first election in our organization giving chance to the new leadership to come forward and lead the organization to new heights. These are just some of the great achievements of our newly born student chapter which is "God wiling" destined to become one of the best run student chapters of industrial engineering profession in Pakistan.<br />

Industrial engineering (IE) is really a guru to me in a way that no other engineering discipline could have taught me so well. The characteristic is that it develops a technical and analytical mind into a humane integrated form of an innovator is its endowment to the society.<br />
Having gone through the basic IE education at University of Management and Technology, Lahore, I have become very optimistic rather curious that industrial engineering indeed has a great future in the country. This is a state suffering from inefficiency from upstairs to the downstairs; under developed in virtually every sector of life. It is a place where time studies, process optimizations, operations management, operations research, engineering management, human factors, logistics etc. All at the moment can play a vital role in substantially every section of the authorities.<br />
<br />
Government and private departments in Pakistan at the moment are suffering at the hands of corrupt and inefficient leadership. They have made their own illegal processes fast and productive but at the cost of the collapsed native systems. Due to this however, I believe it seems as though government is actually creating job opportunities for industrial engineers in this region; “Seems like we will be having a lot of work to do in the future, ha-ha!”<br />
<br />
I have a keen interest in observing processes that I am surrounded with, whether it is to produce a tangible product or to serve in the opposite. In my country, queue lengths which add a lot of waste to a particular system are so common that an Industrial Engineer can earn a living just by attending them. We have lengthy waiting lines in our hospitals, local zoo, admission offices, car parking, restaurants, shopping centers, banks and now even worse we have it at “Tandoors” (a local cooking service, where “roti” a food made from wheat is baked for the poor at a low cost). Every day I sit and ask myself how could I improve these systems and be able to make them more productive for my society. Especially for the hospitals in my local town, we need a lot of extensive research work and dedication to solve various issues regarding hospital management, patient care, data management, its availability and quality.<br />
<br />
Pakistan is the 4th largest cotton producer in the world, according to the “Leading producer countries” in Wikipedia. Our agriculture industry is well known in the world. This region is blessed with four seasons of the world with a good balance for the taste of all, especially the summer. This environment thus produces a huge variety of fruits and vegetables. Having said this, we still suffer because we have a very poorly organized and unproductive supply chain for this food to reach out to our own people. In the local fruit markets, the prices are going up day by day due to the severe lack of supply chain management.<br />
<br />
Water waste percentage is very high in the country because the system still follows archaic method of flood irrigation which wastes 50 to 60 per cent of water. The most recent floods were such a big calamity because no one was prepared for them in the first place. Every year statistical analysis and departments of weather tell us that we might have a bigger level of floods next year but still this news goes unheard because I believe we have less “industrial engineers”.<br />
<br />
Water logging and salinity is increasingly becoming a major source of problem in most parts of the country. Old methods of cultivation and harvesting are the bad source for extensive low yield. These are all in remote areas where there is little or no communication and awareness for the farmer who is the actual person behind the wheels. So, this looks like a job for an Industrial Engineer who is packed with analytical, management and engineering techniques.<br />
<br />
Talking about electricity , we are suffering from electricity blackouts which range sometimes from 14 to 16 hours daily. In most of the remote areas we have even total electricity failures this is because our operations are being left unmanaged. The electricity shortages have left the industries jammed. Managers do not have the knowledge today how to schedule the various processes so that it may still be able to cut the loss and be somewhat profitable. Many factories have been subsequently closed down. The role of a super IE does seem very prominent here taking the lead and creating scheduled tasks with ideas and creative solutions to the declining graph of the companies. And I am sure we will!<br />
<br />
Lastly, it is not my degree that gave me eyes of an industrial engineer rather it is the membership of IIE that led me to study my world with new spectacles. This view is very different that I had in mind at the time of admission. The new vision has touched my inner human who wants to search out ways to bring out ease for the society by creating a different set using the same elements but arranging them in a more productive way. This is indeed a profession that has the best integration of man, money and machine. And for IIE and all IE community in the world I would say, “Pakistan, a heaven for Industrial Engineers!” because there is a lot of work to do and only industrial super engineers can save the world in this region.<br />

ethods to any other processes. The objective is to eliminate waste, free up capacity, speed up the process, eliminate errors; defects, and make the process clear and understandable. The second (and more important) thrust of Lean Accounting is to fundamentally change the accounting, control, and measurement processes so they motivate lean change; improvement, provide information that is suitable for control and decision-making, provide an understanding of customer value, correctly assess the financial impact of lean improvement, and are themselves simple, visual, and low-waste. Lean Accounting does not require the traditional management accounting methods like standard costing, activity-based costing, variance reporting, cost-plus pricing, complex transactional control systems, and untimely & confusing financial reports.

Though, to choose the college for pursuing studies in industrial engineering is a tough decision and the student must be careful while doing so. The admission criteria for these courses, varies from college to college and most of the institutes check students on the basis of an entrance examination. Even the remunerations paid after studies in industrial engineering are quite high, and after working as engineering for few years, most of the industrial engineers get promoted to managerial positions for future career growth.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632512838338689531.post-12780679939310495302010-12-30T02:09:00.000-08:002011-02-17T08:55:03.849-08:00Ten Commandments of Lean Manufacturing & Six Sigma<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="295" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Q89qAbAAR3Q?fs=1" width="480"></iframe></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 26px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Pakistan - Industry</b></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 26px;">During the 1960s and 1970s, light industry expanded rapidly— especially textiles, sugar refining, fertilizers, and other manufactures derived from local raw materials. Large government investments in the 1970s established the country's first large-scale ship-building and steel milling operations; the production of chemical fertilizers was also given special government support. The Pakistan Industrial Development Corp., established in the early 1980s with IDA credit, developed industrial estates for small- and medium-scale industries, assisting their occupants in obtaining credit, raw materials, technical and managerial assistance, access to production facilities, as well as marketing support. Despite steady overall industrial growth during the 1980s, the sector remains concentrated in cotton processing, textiles, food processing and petroleum refining.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 26px;">The 1973 nationalization program, which placed 10 basic industries wholly within the public sector, was reversed in 1991 with the enactment of an ambitious privatization program. In 1992, the government began auctioning off majority control in nearly all public sector industrial enterprises, including those manufacturing chemicals, fertilizers, engineering products, petroleum products, cement, automobiles, and other industrial products requiring a high level of capital investment, to private investors. In 1995, however, the speed of privatization began to slow as the sale of some large state-owned units were stalled and postponed. In 2002, the public industrial sector, under the Production Wing of the Ministry of Industries and Production consisted of eight public holding companies—Pakistan Steel, the State Cement Corporation (PACO), Federal Chemical and Ceramics Corporation (FCCC), State Petroleum Refining and Petrochemical Corporation (PERAC), State Engineering Corporation (SEC), the Pakistan Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC), the state fertilizer corporation and Pakistan Automobile Corporation. The majority of the 74 production enterprises controlled by these holding companies have been privatized, and most of those remaining are scheduled to be sold. The public sector continues to dominate in steel, heavy engineering, automobiles, petroleum and defense-related production.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 26px;">Cotton textile production is the most important of Pakistan's industries, accounting for about 19% of large-scale industrial employment, and 60% of total exports in 2000/01. Pakistan has become self-sufficient in cotton fabrics and exports substantial quantities. Some long and extra-long staple cotton is imported to meet demand for finer cottons. About 80% of the textile industry is based on cotton, but factories also produce synthetic fabrics, worsted yarn and jute textiles. Jute textile output amounted to 70,100 tons in 1999/00. The textile industry as a whole employs about 38% of the industrial work force, accounts for 8.5% of GDP, 31% of total investment, and 27% of industrial value-added.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 26px;">Other important industries include food processing, chemicals manufacture, and the iron and steel industries. Food processing is considered Pakistan's largest industry, accounting for slightly more than 27 of value-added production. Pakistan Steel, the country's only integrated steel mill, employs about 14,500 workers and has an annual production capacity of 1.1 million tons. The government plans to expand the mill's annual capacity to 3 million tons. Pakistan Steel produces coke, pig iron, billets, hot and cold rolled coils and sheets, and galvanized sheets. In June 1999, the first tin-plating plant began operation, a joint venture with Japan.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 26px;">Pakistan has ten fertilizer plants, six state-owned and four private, with a total annual production capacity of 4.65 million tons. Production in 2000/01 was 3.66 million tons, up 10.5% from 1999/00. There are 21 cement plants, four state-owned and 17 private, with an annual production capacity of 19.2 million tons. Production in 1999/00 was 9.9 million tons., up 4% from 1999/98. Pakistan's chemical industry produces an number of basic chemicals used in its other industries, including soda ash, caustic soda and sulfuric acid. Industrial output from other major industries also includes refined sugar, vegetable ghee, urea, rubber tubes, electric motors, electrical consumer products (light bulbs, air conditioners, fans refrigerators, freezers, TV sets, radios, and sewing machines), and pharmaceuticals</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><strong></strong>From the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.iienet2.org/details.aspx?id=716"><em>http://www.iienet2.org/details.aspx?id=716</em></a></span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Industrial engineering is about choices. Other engineering disciplines apply skills to very specific areas. IE gives practitioners the opportunity to work in a variety of businesses.<br />
Many practitioners say that an industrial engineering education offers the best of both worlds: an education in both engineering and business.<br />
The most distinctive aspect of industrial engineering is the flexibility it offers. Whether it’s shortening a rollercoaster line, streamlining an operating room, distributing products worldwide, or manufacturing superior automobiles, allthese challenges share the common goal of saving companies money and increasing efficiencies.<br />
As companies adopt management philosophies of continuous productivity and quality improvement to survive in the increasingly competitive world market, the need for industrial engineers is growing. Why? Industrial engineers are the only engineering professionals trained specifically to be productivity and quality improvement specialists.<br />
Industrial engineers figure out how to do things better. They engineer processes and systems that improve quality and productivity. They work to eliminate waste of time, money, materials, energy and other commodities. This is why many industrial engineers end up being promoted into management positions.<br />
Many people are misled by the term industrial engineer. It’s not just about manufacturing. It also encompasses service industries, with many IEs employed in entertainment industries, shipping and logistics businesses, and health care organizations.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
The benefits of industrial engineering are widespread as indicated in three different slide shows.</span><br />
