Education inIndustrial Management Prof. Ilias P. Tatsiopoulos NTU Athens AIM Conference, Estella, Spain
Agenda • Trends, current & coming • IM curriculum • Learn + Teach AIM Conference, Estella, Spain
Current situation in manufacturingat national level Look these people in Marketing & Finance Disappointment We studied engineering in order to become logisticians Graduate degree in Production doesn’t pay Low salaries Banking & Telecoms is the place to be The country is de-industrialized Production has no future in this country Murmuring & Grumbling AIM Conference, Estella, Spain
Conclusions • Production does not persuade for its added value • Best people have taken other directions • Stack with traditional manufacturing • Education in production is outdated • Production people live on their past glory • Leaders are missing Is there a future? AIM Conference, Estella, Spain
On the other side...at global level Urgent need for Global Operations and Global Sourcing skills Manufacturing boom in Asia by G7 investments Service & Retail sectors are industrialized Best IM Schools in G7 countries Headquarters in developed Cities Global bottleneck in the number of Manufacturing engineers Production + producer Services do not shrink AIM Conference, Estella, Spain
Trends • Traditional industry in Europe wanes • Exceptions • Food • Knowledge-intensive (new economy, medical, nano- and bio-technologies) • Aerospace • Non-transportable goods (building materials) • … • If you consider production+producer services the situation is much better • Non-industrial economic activity is industrialized • Digitized economy • Product/service integration (e.g. mobile phone) • Globalization • Increased speed of change • Quality-of-life & environmental concerns AIM Conference, Estella, Spain
Implications of trends • Emphasize “Operations” • move away from MechEng? • Understanding of non-industrial activity • Cultural adaptability • Promote versatility • career • employment • Knowledge acquisition, not mere possession • Impacts on industrial structure of society • Industries shift (or new are created) AIM Conference, Estella, Spain
Non-industrial activity is industrialized • Not significant productivity increases expected in making and moving things • Service Workers • Knowledge Workers • Technology investment does not increase productivity as expected • “Working smarter” is the key. Task analysis is the core of Industrial Engineering • What is performance? • Operations Management instead of IM? AIM Conference, Estella, Spain
