The fundamental knowledge of the industrial engineering and engineering management profession encourages a systems viewpoint that permits us to reduce costs while at the same time maintain or further increase operational performance. The confluence of information technology and systems engineering has made the roles of industrial engineering and engineering management relevant in a wide range of industries. The supply chain contributes a very substantial portion to total product cost. Managing it requires the optimization of the entire system and its various components, that include among others, transportation, inventory, warehousing, materials handling, and customer service.<br>The NJIT supply chain initiative will help enable you to build flexible manufacturing solutions for use within small to medium-sized companies. You will help develop a methodology for evaluating the quality manufacturability of new designs from an assembly perspective. This program is related to all manufacturing industries and all transportation/distribution related service industries.
