Industrial Engineering and Management

Trade has been growing at a fast pace over recent decades as a result of business and production processes becoming more globalised and networked.

Have you ever wondered how:
Amazon manages to send you exactly the items you ordered?
Airbus organises the production of the world's largest passenger airliner- A380?
BMW can keep track of an ever increasing number of variants and options to choose from?
Lufthansa gets spare parts to South Africa if needed?
The United Nations World Food Programme can reach 90 million beneficiaries wherever they may live?
The answer is Industrial Engineering and Management.

Industrial Engineering is one of the most versatile and flexible branches of engineering. It has been said that engineers make things, whereas industrial engineers make things better.

The BSc Industrial Engineering and Management programme deals with both the creation and the management of systems that integrate people and materials and energy in productive ways. It is concerned with various topics such as process engineering, operations research, supply chain management, engineering design, logistics, project management, and others.
