Industrial Engineering and Optimization

Now that data science is commonplace, it is important to note that the benefits of analytics do not stop with data science. Broadly speaking, industrial engineering builds upon data science by designing, improving, or implementing systems which optimize or enhance processes. This may include such things as optimizing production or maintenance schedules and distribution networks. Or increasing yield. Or optimizing marketing plans and pricing. Or adding automation. The list goes on, but many examples involve optimization or simulation.
