Production engineering is nothing like civil, electrical or mechanical engineering more of a management science which any arts stream student can pass with ease No wonder some had time for all kinds of union activities It is based on Taylor's time and motion study and efficient utilization of resources some time use statistics and simulation .
ReplyDeleteProduction engineering rose out of time and motion study of Frd Taylor more than a century ago.More of management and accounting than real technical subjects such as fluids.electricity or thermodynamics
