But, a centr? alize? d IE depar?tment? does not guara?ntee emplo? yment? for the indus?trial? engin?eer. Many large? pa?nies have “ IE” depar? tment?s where? only a handf? ul of indus?trial? engin?eers can be found? . An examp?le is Boein?g. Boein?g has some very large? IE depar? tment?s, but often? less than two or three? peopl?e withi?n the depar?tment? have IE degre? es. Accor? ding to Vieth? , it is becau? se some of the funct? ions withi?n the depar?tment? are so diver?se. 但是 ,對(duì)于工業(yè)工 ?程部的整合 ?也并不會(huì)給 ?工業(yè)工程師 ?帶來(lái)工作 .許多大企業(yè) ?的工業(yè)工程 ?部里僅有少 ?量的工業(yè)工 ?程師 .拿波音公司 ?做個(gè)例子 ,波音公司有 ?一些大的工 ?業(yè)工程部 ,但是其中只 ?有 2 個(gè)或三 ?個(gè)人有工業(yè) ?工程學(xué)位 .通過(guò) 萬(wàn)斯來(lái) ?看 ,那是因?yàn)椴??門里的某些 ?函數(shù)太多樣 ?了 . Probl? ems assoc?iated? with renam?ing IE depar?tment?s to descr?ibe their? parti?cular? funct?ion may have more to do with appea? rance? than with the actua? l job being? perfo?rmed. While? IEs actua?lly perfo?rm many of the speci?alize?d jobs, littl?e credi?t is given? to IE princ? iples? used in the appro?ach. In fact, it often? turns? out that many of the indiv? idual? funct?ions and skill?s used by IEs are viewe?d by manag? ement? as indus?trial? engin?eerin?g. As a resul? t, indiv?idual?s who can maste?r one of those? skill?s are mista?kenly? refer?red to by manag?ement? as “ indus?trial? engin?eers.” 將工業(yè)工程 ?部重新命名 ?以明確描述 ?其具體職能 ? ,其間所出現(xiàn) ?的問題與其 ?說(shuō)與實(shí)際完 ?成的工作有 ?關(guān)倒不如說(shuō) ?與問題的表 ?象有關(guān) .工業(yè)工程師 ?們?cè)谕瓿稍S ?多專業(yè)性工 ?作的過(guò)程中 ?的工作原則 ?極少得到承 ?認(rèn) .實(shí)際上 ,工業(yè)工程師 ?們的個(gè)體作 ?用和技能通 ?常被管理學(xué) ?認(rèn) 為是工業(yè) ?工程學(xué) .結(jié)果 ,擁有這些技 ?能中的某一 ?項(xiàng)的人被錯(cuò) ?誤的認(rèn)為是 ?” 工業(yè)工程師 ?” Yet, those? who under?stand? the real value? of indus?trial? engin?eerin?g still? reali?ze that the degre?ed IE bring?s to the job a uniqu?e way of think?ing. 然而 ,那些懂得工 ?業(yè)工程的真 ?正價(jià)值的人 ?依然意識(shí)到 ?工業(yè)工程這 ?個(gè)專業(yè)給了 ?這份工作一 ?個(gè) 與眾不同 ?的思考途徑 ?. “ There? are thing?s you can teach? nondegre?ed peopl?e that are basic? repet?itive? tasks?,” says Vieth?. “ But what you can’ t teach? is how to take what you see, trans?late it and recog?nize there? is a probl?em, and then e up with a solut?ion to that probl?em 萬(wàn)斯說(shuō) :” 你可以教一 ?個(gè)沒有專業(yè) ?基礎(chǔ)的人一 ?些基本重要 ?的工作 ,但是你卻不 ?能教他們?nèi)??何了解和轉(zhuǎn) ?化看到的問 ?題并找出方 ?法去解決這 ?個(gè)問題 .
