Nanotechnology Engineering Technologists and Technicians
Career Snapshot
How may a process be made more efficient? How can a group of employees increase productivity? These are the types of questions that an industrial engineering technician will ask in order to improve the efficiency of personnel, systems, and machinery. These technicians are exceptional observers and analytical thinkers. They assess the performance of others or organisations and find areas for improvement or change. They may examine the time and steps workers take to complete an activity and use that data to set production or service goals. Technicians in industrial engineering also study how equipment is utilised and maintained, searching for methods to cut costs or enhance quality. They employ their knowledge across all stages of industrial processes to assist organisations in reducing inventory costs, increasing customer satisfaction, and controlling project expenditures. The majority of industrial engineering technicians work in factories, retail establishments, healthcare facilities, repair shops, and offices. They often work on-site at manufacturing and service delivery facilities. Most work full-time on teams overseen by industrial engineers. An associate's degree or certificate in industrial engineering is often required. Associate's degree programmes are often offered by community colleges or technical institutes, whereas certificate programmes are typically offered by vocational-technical schools. Knowledge of computer-aided design software or computer abilities that will assist you in learning it is really beneficial.
