Centre of Excellence of Education in the area of textile and allied sectors. NITER wants to
reach the epitome of success as an education and research institute in Bangladesh.

Preambles
Industrial and Production Engineering (IPE) is a combination of manufacturing technology
with management science, where an Industrial and Production Engineer deals with engineering
practices and management challenges related to production. IPE has wide applications in
textile, apparel, casting, joining processes, metal cutting & tool design, metrology, machine
tools, machining systems, jigs and fixtures, die and mold design, automation, CADD/CAM,
CIM, Operation Research, Inventory Control, Quality Control, Mechatronics, Robotics, Supply
Chain Management and all other management subject related to industries. In short, Production
Engineering deals with integrated design and efficient planning of the entire manufacturing
system, which is becoming increasingly complex with the emergence of sophisticated,
production methods and control systems.
The main duties of an Industrial and Production Engineer include 1) Resources Integration -
Utilizing resources at high efficiency and low cost, considering the possibility of continuous
improvement. 2) Use of mathematics and statistics to model production systems during the
decision-making process. 3) Design, implement, and refine products, services, processes and
systems considering constraints and particularities of the related communities. 4) Forecast and
analyze demand. 5) Incorporate concepts and quality techniques along all the productive
systems. Deploy organizational standards for control proceedings and auditing. 6) Stay up-to-
date with technological developments, enabling them to enterprises and society. 7) Manage and
optimize the information and production flow. In all this sense, the Industrial & Production

1
Engineering is considered more relevant and significant than that of Mechanical Engineering,
as it fundamentally covers all the related topics in Industry.
Scope and Opportunities: Opportunities are available in public and private sector
manufacturing organizations engaged in the implementation, development and management of
new production processes, information and control systems and computer-controlled
inspection, assembly and handling. The graduates can mainly go for the core sectors like textile,
apparel, refinery, and the automation industry.
Role of Production Engineering in Today’s World: Production Engineering in today’s world
is a blooming course and has several vital applications that can be utilized in the core-based
field of production. Production engineering is a completely production-oriented. The quality
of the products produced is to a large extent dependent on production engineering and with
quality comes standard. Therefore, production engineering lands in the standard arena which
in turn related to the price control chains. Thus, the course in turn is influencing the delicate
balance of the supply chain which is very critical in the present world. Thus, the course of
production engineering has a crucial role in today’s world. These related aspects make us
acquainted with the enormous influence the course carries in our everyday lives.
