Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya (RGPV) B.Tech Industrial Engineering & Ergonomics Notes PDFs for Mechanical Engineering (ME)

Industrial Engineering and Ergonomics Definition
Industrial engineering is concerned with improving the efficiency, productivity, and quality of complex processes, systems, and resources. Ergonomics, on the other hand, is the science of designing products and environments to fit humans’ capabilities and needs.

Improving Productivity and Well-Being
Industrial engineering and ergonomics help to design workplaces, systems, and products that are efficient, safe, and supportive of human well-being.

Importance of Industrial Engineering & Ergonomics

Process Improvement and Resource Utilisation
Industrial engineering techniques improve efficiency and profitability by streamlining processes, reducing waste, and optimising resource allocation.

Improving Workplace Security and Comfort
By tailoring environments and equipment to the capabilities and needs of users, ergonomic design reduces the risk of workplace injuries and discomfort.

Product and interface design that is user-friendly
Ergonomics ensures that products and interfaces are intuitive, comfortable, and easy to use, increasing customer satisfaction and usability.

Course Objective:

Optimisation and Understanding of Systems Thinking
Students learn to look at systems as a whole, identifying areas for improvement and employing mathematical and analytical techniques to improve processes.

Principles of Ergonomics and Human-Centered Design
The course covers ergonomics principles as well as human-centered design strategies for developing products and environments that prioritise user well-being.

Techniques for Process Analysis and Improvement
Students learn how to analyse and improve operational processes using techniques such as process mapping, lean principles, and Six Sigma.

Ethical Considerations and Sustainable Design
In order to foster responsible design, the curriculum addresses sustainable design practises and ethical considerations in industrial engineering.
