what are Feasibility studies with respect to Industrial engineering?
545182
Generally, feasibility studies are used to determine whether a certain course of action should be made with respect to positive impacts and negative impacts.\n\nIn Industrial Engineering (applications vary so I'm not sure where you're coming from), a feasibility could be done on whether to upgrade a certain piece of machinery in a factory.\n\nThe positive impacts could be increased productivity\n\nThe negative impacts could range from\n\nmachinery cost, having to train the plant personnel to operate and maintain the new machinery, shutting down production so that you can install the new machinery, etc.\n\nGenerally, the Feasibility Study will be a report which will try to quantify the above so that the end-client can make a responsible decision.

This has a nice summary\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_revolution

Cal Tech has a really good video series that should be in most larger libraries.  It's not all directly on industrial engineering but much of it does apply.  I always enjoy watching it when it comes on PBS.\n\nPart of the series is call The Mechanical Universe, I think.

The University of Michigan Industrial & Operations Engineering has a great set of courses specially designed for SCM and Logistics.. Im taking them and I'm learnign a lot

Industrial Engineering is closely related to mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering.  Actually all engineers must study at least the fundamentals of all engineering fields in order to cooperate with other specialized engineers.  The Industrial Engineer specializes in setting up and efficiently running industrial plants that may include electrical, mechanical and chemical components and other.  One specialty of the Industrial Engineer is to study time management which includes the organization and flow of materials and products through the plant and the efficiency of workers who may need more or better tools to avoid rejects.

Industrial Design.  I have a family member who majored in that and one of the school projects was to design new and innovative shoes.  You need somewhat of an artistic and technical type background.  Good luck.

I recommend Industrial. There are more career opportunities there.

Please check google answers. They do this kind of research all the time for people looking into new industries.

Ask yourself these questions:\n\nIs there something I care about enough to spend a couple of years, full time, doing research on it?\n\nCan I find an advisor? i.e. Is there a prof on the faculty, who knows enough about the topic, who I get along with, who is willing to act as my thesis advisor?\n\nThe answers to those questions put some serious parmeters on your project.

(I assume you mean a BSEE project. Here is how I chose my MSEE project)\n\nRead around the literature, both commercial and academic, and get opininons from as many people as you can (email and professional groups like the IEEE are very helpful), to find something both relevant, non-trivial and tractable where you believe you can achieve something meaningful.\n\n- play to your strengths. Some people are design-oriented, some people are theoreticians, some people want to make incremental improvements and some people want to answer unsolved questions.\n- beware of choosing something for theoretical aesthetics alone\n- don't choose yesterday's fad or pop topic, unless you have something original to contribute, or to do a post-mortem or review\n- ultimately, after you've done due diligence, trust your own instincts and make a decision. You may well have good ideas, and even if you make a mistake, understanding why and clarifying is part of the learning process too.

1)Yes, first identify the income sources relating to the transport industry, next find the cost for the above mntioned income sources then study the productivity.\n2) Now you can determined what are the suitable adjustments you should do.

Here is my suggestion to you.  I would go to your university library and look up Management Engineering. You will find a sample thesis in your library because a masters student has his or her thesis in the library where he or she attended and submitted his or her thesis.

please modify your question and add a study hypothesis of what

It is using engineering methodologies to design systems for people.  Finding ways to maximize the capabilities of workers and to speed the delivery of services to customers.  IEs use statistics, queueing theory, game theory, and organizational psychology - among many other skills.\n\nIn manufacuring, an IE would analyze the capabilities of the machinery and the people and determine the most efficient design of an assembly line.  Things that might be considered include the amount of storage space available between manufacturing steps and the amount of rework that is needed to fix things that might not be perfect.\n\nIn healthcare, an IE might examine the flow of patients through a hospital and then make design changes to the facility.  An IE might also look at historical information to forecast expected patient demand (a lot of people hold off on major procedures until the new year due to health coverage, for instance) and then will help build the facility staffing plan to ensure that the right amount of staff is on duty.\n\nIn transportation, an IE would look at loading patterns in a trucking hub and determine the best way to maximize the orientation of the trucks.  IEs also study different methods for loading and delivering packages - two of the most highly IE'd organizations in the world are UPS and FedEx.

You need to contact a university, probably an engineering department.  Companies will not talk to you.  You need to have real data and a literature search done to prove this has not been done before and that it works.  There are thousands of these types of requests made of universities and companies ever day in the world.  Only 1 in a million pan out.  Only 5 in a million are serious.  You also have to understand, you will have to give up control to have any work done.

feasibility study\nThe analysis of a problem to determine if it can be solved effectively. The operational (will it work?), economical (costs and benefits) and technical (can it be built?) aspects are part of the study. Results of the study determine whether the solution should be implemented.

Industrial engineering is the engineering discipline that concerns the design, development, improvement, implementation and evaluation of integrated systems of people, knowledge, equipment, energy, material and process. Industrial engineering draws upon the principles and methods of engineering analysis and synthesis, as well as mathematics, physical and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems. Industrial engineers work to eliminate wastes of time, money, materials, energy and other resources.
