Supply Chain

Come help us improve the complex socio-economic systems that keep a global economy moving and growing. Our industrial engineers explore the governing principles of supply chain. We do this with the goal of producing the goods we need in an affordable and sustainable manner. Our students and faculty have at their disposal a robust set of tools which include:

modeling
performance analysis
bottleneck identification
lean buffer design
product quality
customer demand satisfaction
and simulation

Since the Industrial Revolution, production engineers have worked to improve the flow of materials through our factories. This includes:

plant layout
shop-floor control and scheduling
coordination of production and distribution activities
and production and inventory planning

Logistics

Keep the materials, products, labor, and services of a growing global economy moving. NC State industrial engineers focus on managing the flow of these resources throughout the supply chain. This includes:

determining which are the best locations for providing services or products produced
calculating the transportation for materials between these locations and the customer
controlling the inventory levels at different locations in the supply chain
and managing the operations of the products and services to be produced and delivered
