Industrial Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering are names that are frequently used inter-changeably. However Industrialization has changed since in the 1970's with Globalization, the Outsourcing of production, and the growth of the Virtual Corporation. As a result Industrial Engineering has begun to focus more on the external dynamics of industrial processes, such as: Process Management, Project Management, Logistics, Human Factors, and Labor Relations; while Manufacturing Engineering remains focused on the internal dynamics of industrial processes, such as: Machine Tools, Materials Science, Tribology, and Quality Control.
While there are many sub-disciplinary components that feed into industrial processes, Manufacturing Engineering can be further defined through a Taxonomy of manufacturing processes.
Shaping
Shaping involve processes that perform Boolean operations on matter or contort matter to conform to desired shapes.
Mass Reducing
Mechanical Reducing
Mechanical reducing typically involves the use of a hard and sharp metallic object to remove matter. Among the operations involved are:
Thermal Reducing
Thermal reducing involves the use of heat to induce a physical Phase Transition. Operations may include:
Chemical Reducing
Chemical reducing involves the use of chemicals to induce
Mass-Conserving
Deformation
Joining
Thermal Joining
Chemical Joining
Adhesion Adhesive Bonding is a joining process where a liquid or semi liquid substance is applied to adjoining work pieces to provide a long lasting bond. Materials that have the ability to be bonded together are virtually unlimited. Adhesives used in bonding can exist in many forms. Adhesive materials can also be made from various natural and/or artificial compounds.
Non-shaping
Heat Treatments
