The historical events that led to the birth of industrial engineering provide significant insights
into many of the principles that dominated its practice and development throughout the first
half of the twentieth century.While these principles continue to impact the profession, many
other conceptual and technological developments that currently shape and continue to mold
the practice of the profession originated in the second half of the twentieth century. The
objective of this chapter is to briefly summarize major events that have contributed to the
birth and evolution of industrial engineering and assist in identifying common elements that
continue to impact the purpose and objectives of the profession.
