Industrial Engg

Industrial engineering is a scoring topic, as it is largely procedural. One has to know the flowchart of solving certain types of questions, then on it is simply clockwork, easy marks. But, the challenge, is the large number of types of questions.
The syllabus given by UPSC for this topic is as follows:

Manufacturing management:
System Design: factory location--simple OR models; plant layout-method based; applications of engineering economic analysis and break even analysis for product selection, process selection and capacity planning; predetermined time standards
[decoded: location, LP, break even, PTS]
System planning: forecasting methods based on regression and decomposition, design and balancing of multimodel and stochastic assembly lines; inventory management--probabilistic inventory models for order time and order quantity determination;JIT systems; strategic sourcing, managing inter plant logistics
[decoded: forecasting, line balancing, queuing theory, EOQ, JIT, TSP]
System operations and control: scheduling algorithms for job shops; applications of statistical methods for product and process quality control-applications of control charts for mean, range, %defective, defects per unit; quality cost systems; management of resources, organization and risks in projects
[decoded: job sequencing, SPC, PERT]
System improvement: implementation of systems such as total quality management, developing and managing flexible, lean and agile organizations
[decoded: TQM, TPS, kanban, lean mfg]

Following above sequence of topics for study is cumbersome. So, better catch easy topics and move towards more abstract and rigorous topics.
