Abstract:

Industrial Engineering is concerned with the design, installation, and improvement of integrated systems comprising human, machine, and materials. In a globalized world where efficient resource utilization is increasingly crucial, Industrial Engineering plays a pivotal role in decision-making at various stages, from site selection and layout of facilities to procurement of raw materials and other inputs, planning and scheduling of production processes, management of inventory and logistics processes, determination of standard times and capacities, and enhancement of product, process, and service quality. With diverse areas of application, Industrial Engineering has rapidly evolved in recent years, significantly influenced by emerging artificial intelligence techniques and other technological advancements. This article explores the developments and innovations in the field of Industrial Engineering in the context of various scientific disciplines, relying on literature-based evidence. The findings of this study aim to create awareness for newly graduated Industrial Engineers and engineering candidates, particularly in the centennial year of Republic of Turkey.
