B) Industrial Management:
The field of Industrial Management is one of the fields in the management group, which was launched at the University of Zanjan in 1388 (2009) at the bachelor's level.
Objectives of the Program: The bachelor's program in Industrial Management is one of the university education programs, and the purpose of forming this program is the education and training of specialized human resources needed by factories, institutions, and public and private production-industrial companies with the aim of developing the application of scientific methods in the management of these institutions.
Areas of Application and Employment of Graduates: Participants in this program, in addition to becoming familiar with the theoretical issues of industrial management knowledge, become familiar with the applications of this field as well as the use of management techniques and methods of production-industrial institutions with relevant and effective management software. In this way, the communication gap between skilled bachelor's-level staff and the management of institutions will be minimized. Graduates of this field can be employed in production management departments, technical protection administration, and goods quality control departments. They are also capable of working in matters related to project management and control. Graduates of this program, in addition to understanding the theoretical knowledge of industrial management, will acquire the grounds for new necessary skills in (technical and human skills) of industrial management and its place in the field of practice and work.
The Difference Between Industrial Engineering and Industrial Management: The relationship between an industrial engineer and industrial management can be discussed from a macro perspective. Industrial Management is formed with a human and social perspective, but Industrial Engineering uses an engineering, scientific, and industrial perspective to increase work efficiency. Both scientific areas are applicable in economic enterprises, and their place of activity and work is the factory and industrial unit.
Special Feature of the Field of Industrial Management:
The presence of an industrial management expert who assumes responsibility for human, financial, and physical equipment resources is essential in every economic and industrial unit in order to enhance, using their knowledge, the participation, skill, and motivation of the human resources of the economic unit. One of the reasons for the failure of our industries is that most officials of industrial units are not graduates of industrial management. Industrial Management has three main dimensions: technical and technological, financial, and behavioral and social. In the Industrial Engineering field, students study more of the technical and technological dimension of industries, but the Industrial Management field also emphasizes the financial and behavioral dimensions of industries, and this factor—that is, mastery of human skills—can be influential in business success.
