Industrial and manufacturing engineering Jobs Prospects
The immense growth
in the industrial sector of Pakistan has opened
new doors of
opportunities for industrial and manufacturing engineers. Nowadays
72 to 80 per cent students are hired by big organizations even before
their final result is announced.
What is manufacturing engineering?
John Tanner in his
book Manufacturing Engineering: an introduction to the Basic Functions
defines industrial and manufacturing
engineering as the
branch of engineering which requires knowledge to apply and control
engineering procedures in manufacturing processes, and also the methods
of production of industrial commodities and products. Furthermore,
it requires the ability to plan the practices of manufacturing, to
research and develop the tools, processes for machines and equipment,
and to integrate the facilities and systems to produce quality products
with optional expenditure.
Industrial and
manufacturing engineering thus incorporate materials and machines,
people to design and build, and service the products and production
facilities of tomorrow. Manufacturing
engineering covers a broad spectrum of engineering topics such as
computer aided design (CAD), computer aided manufacturing (CAM),
numerical control (NO), computer integrated manufacturing (CIM),
flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), robotics automation, product
design, tools and machines, manufacturing processes, quality control,
production scheduling, production and inventory control and economic
analysis. Or engineers are
working in various sectors such as automobile companies, pharmaceutical
companies and food manufacturing firms.
Salaries and remunerations
Fresh gradates are
mostly appointed as assistant mangers. Initially they are paid Rs. 8000
to 15000 depending upon their skills.
Pakistan has
definitely a bright future for industrial and manufacturing engineers
but there are options in other countries as well. Some of the engineers
of NED University went to foreign universities for higher education and
then started working there after completing their education.
Career Options for Manufacturing engineers in Pakistan
Career in
industrial and manufacturing engineering offers a broad range of
options. Unlink other engineering disciplines, where engineers are
bound to work in their filed of spatiality like civil engineer can work
only in construction firms, automotive engineer can work in automobile
sector only and textile engineer is restricted to work in textile
industry an industrial and manufacturing engineer has more than one
choice to work as s/he is specialized in overall industrial engineering
and not only in one sector of the business.
Future prospects for Industrial and Manufacturing Engineers
Therefore,
industrial and manufacturing engineer have a bright scope not only in Pakistan but
aboard as well. They are found working in almost every sector including
textile industry, healthy industry, home appliances sector,
communication technology sector and so on. Besides technical jobs,
industrial and manufacturing engineers can also serve as consultant in
all these firms.
So, if you want to
pursue a promising career in engineering that offers excellent
remuneration and variety of options, industrial and manufacturing
engineering maybe your first choice.
