 I think the ISM program is needed even more now that Armenia is poised to develop its production infrastructure system. What industrial engineering is for me, this is the base of my successful career path and the setup for continuous learning and development throughout entire life. Industrial engineering is kind of a tool for me to appreciate the value of time. Thanks to ISM I was given the opportunity to work in one of the most important industrial sectors of Armenia in brandy making and with the help of an incredible team we're trying to increase the efficiency of our processes by reduction or exclusion of non-value added tasks. Mathematical, technical and production management knowledge gained at ISM have given me the power of building solid and constructive approach to any technical problem in my work today. So ISM is an ideal starting point for professionals who want to proceed their career in different specializations. Graduates of industrial engineering and systems management program work in almost all areas of industry. They help their companies to optimize operations by finding and implementing scientifically sound techniques to minimize cost and maximize profit.
