I always see the two terms Operation Research and Industrial Engineering together, what is the diference btw these 2 ?

[umrahsahab]

Oooo good question. Operations research is a tool IE's use. It is making mathematical models to help find the most effective way of doing things. That is a really nasty way of putting it but I dont know how else to word it. :(

@engg3141 at the end of the day Industrial engineers get paid as much as EEs, MEs or Chem and even more.

มันคืออะไร ??

It all depends on where you do your degree. At my university (Ghent) it takes 5 years of which the first 3 semesters are common to all engineers (CE, EE, mech, chem, civil, ...) since it only includes mathematics and sciences. The next 3 semesters you must specialize in one of the traditional engineering degrees (so no IE yet). Then starting from the 4th year you can opt to do fulltime IE&OR of which most is mathematical modelling and systems engineering. Very applied, but almost no management!

@engg3141 I guess you won't answer me, right? You know you are very wrong and still say things without knowledge.

And also the government of USA made a study which industrial engineerings is one of the most paying jobs, specially when you have a doctorate. So please, do not continue with your ignorance.

IEs tend to be CEO of many, many companies, unlike others engineerings. Just go to wikipedia and search for 'Industrial Engineerings', you'll see many of those professionals being a CEO.

@engg3141 Clearly you don't know much about Industrial Engineering, for making such lies.

To study and have a full scope of OR you need to know diferential equations (for modeling a problem), linear algebra and matrices. OR uses a lot the computer to solve problems, even microsoft Excel has a tool named Solver to deal with these kind of problems and there's a lot of Simulation software also.

@masterinex: OR is a branch of IE. OR ir related with the solution of problems based on the scientific method and mathematical models. With OR you can solve logistics problems, make the rows in banks and theme parks more efficient, solve transport problems, maximize or minimize raw material quantities on operations, etc.
