Industrial engineers apply science, mathematics, and engineering methods to complex system integration and operations. Industrial Engineering is an important aspect to every business.
Because they deal with these large and complex systems, Industrial Engineers need to have knowledge and skills in a wide variety of disciplines.
They also need the ability to work well with people and have a broad, systems perspective.
IEs use their knowledge and skills to improve systematic processes through the use of statistical analysis, problem-solving, computer simulation, design, planning, operations management, and interpersonal communication.
In this article, we will examine how industrial engineers assist the oil and gas industry.

What Do Industrial Engineers Do?
As systems integrators, IEs analyze and design buildings, rooms, equipment, infrastructures, material handling systems, manufacturing and production systems, information systems, and individual and group workplaces.
In the operations realm, industrial engineers analyze the design and management of manufacturing and service processes, quality assurance, production systems planning and control, resource allocation and scheduling, personnel assignment and scheduling, inventory control, as well as system and personnel safety.
Industrial Engineers and The Oil and Gas Industry
Industrial engineers are a unique discipline in the field of engineering that can work in just about any industry.
Industrial engineers work to improve the optimization of various resources. Their focus is on the elimination of wasted time, money, materials, person-hours, machine time, energy, and other resources that do not generate value in the industries they work in.
Every oil and gas company needs these very things.
Gas and oil companies hire Industrial Engineers as consultants to look over these things and give them other ideas on what to eliminate and how to become more efficient.
IEs can work in the oil and gas industry to optimize the inventory by controlling the production system.
There are thousands of moving parts in the oil and gas industries that need to be managed closely.
This is one of the jobs of an industrial engineer; to manage all aspects efficiently to keep the plants operating as optimally as possible.

Why Metal Buildings Make Good Investments
I'm Ben Sparhawk, the Content Writer and Marketing Account Manager for CDMG. I write to showcase the work that CDMG does and everything related to the pre-engineered metal building industry as well as their engineering capabilities. When I'm not working on content, you can find me spending time with my wife and children. You can also find me in the gym, trying to better myself, and I also enjoy spending time outdoors hiking or checking out local parks.
