    How much does make in a year?
    In this video, we examine the average Industrial Engineer salary in 2019. We gathered data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to determine the average salary of Industrial Engineers. We also look at the historical salaries of Industrial Engineers and the top 5 best metro areas by salary for Industrial Engineers.
    These income statistics are from the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program. These salaries do not include bonuses or benefits. In our opinion, these are the most accurate salary numbers (better than indeed, glassdoor, and payscale).
    Industrial engineers find ways to eliminate wastefulness in production processes. They devise efficient systems that integrate workers, machines, materials, information, and energy to make a product or provide a service.
    Industrial engineers typically do the following:
    • Review production schedules, engineering specifications, process flows, and other information to understand methods that are applied and activities that take place in manufacturing and services
    • Figure out how to manufacture parts or products, or deliver services, with maximum efficiency
    • Develop management control systems to make financial planning and cost analysis more efficient
    • Enact quality control procedures to resolve production problems or minimize costs
    • Design control systems to coordinate activities and production planning in order to ensure that products meet quality standards
    • Confer with clients about product specifications, vendors about purchases, management personnel about manufacturing capabilities, and staff about the status of projects
    Industrial engineers apply their skills to many different situations, from manufacturing to healthcare systems to business administration. For example, they design systems for
    • moving heavy parts within manufacturing plants
    • delivering goods from a company to customers, including finding the most profitable places to locate manufacturing or processing plants
    • evaluating job performance
    • paying workers.
    Some industrial engineers, called manufacturing engineers, focus entirely on the automated aspects of manufacturing processes. They design manufacturing systems to optimize the use of computer networks, robots, and materials.
    Industrial engineers focus on how to get the work done most efficiently, balancing many factors, such as time, number of workers needed, available technology, actions workers need to take, achieving the end product with no errors, workers’ safety, environmental concerns, and cost.
    The versatility of industrial engineers allows them to engage in activities that are useful to a variety of businesses, governments, and nonprofits. For example, industrial engineers engage in supply chain management to help businesses minimize inventory costs, conduct quality assurance activities to help businesses keep their customer bases satisfied, and work in the growing field of project management as industries across the economy seek to control costs and maximize efficiencies.

    The most I have ever made was being a control engineer with 6 contractors under me where I received $25 a hour per contractor and my base of $55 a hour and this rate went up on overtime by Multipliers of 1.3 @ over 40 hours and 1.7 @ 58 hours and up.. which my average week of 70 hrs which paid me $21,197 a week before taxes and insurances. I was only able to make a top gross earnings off $292,000.00 for the year because of slowdowns in between projects that only I was working.The other contractors under my supervision made $30.00 hr plus multiplier of 1.5 and 2.0. Plus they receive bonuses for early project dates equaling $1500-$4000 three or four times a year.

    Would you recommend industrial engineering over supply chain management? These two fields seem very similar. I am currently a freshman in college and I am not sure if the heavier course load in IE will be worth it in opposed to SCM because they both seem to cross paths

    • @CareerWatch
      @CareerWatch  4 роки тому +2

      Both are great fields. You are right, they are fairly similar. Industrial Engineering is more technical and supply chain management is more functional.
      It depends on your personality. Would you rather focus on a business/functional path over a technical path. Do you see yourself as a future manager?
      I would choose based off your interests and what you are better at than over just salary.

      Many of the mechanical engineering jobs are around the Detroit area, supporting the auto industry. If people are making less money, there will be less money to go towards new autos, which could affect employment. Data science is a great field with lots of job prospects. I usually tell people to do what they are interested in. You can make good money in either field.

    $57450 in 1999 is worth $88414 in 2018. So, the industrial engineering salary has been essentially flat for the past 20 years

    • @MarcusRangel704
      @MarcusRangel704 3 роки тому +1

      Not necessarily true. I mean put it this way, would you rather be earning $57,450 annually or $88,424 annually? The fact of the matter is that the market value for industrial engineering is constantly growing unlike other jobs in the US that have not had a true increase in salary. The statistic you mention about how a dollar today is different in today's economy is correct, but to say that it has been flat line is just not true. Plus, industrial engineers can make themselves more valuable over time and earn much more money.

    • @JustBCWi
      @JustBCWi 3 роки тому +1

      @@MarcusRangel704 your not paying attention. The value of a dollar has deflated in the period between 1999 and 2018. So, $57000 in 1999 dollars is the same as $88000 in 2018. So the increase the video alleges is entirely explained by inflation. This is basic Finance...time value of money (present and future value of money.)
      Median income in 1999 was $44k, so the $57k salary was x1.29 of median income. Median income now is $63k, so the $88k salary is 1.39. So in relative terms the field’s median income increased by 8%.
      Claiming the increase over 20 years was markedly improved by comparing inconsistent units is irresponsible. I have reconciled that to show the real change is relatively flat.
      And, we are talking median salary. So you are arguing that some engineers will make more than the median. That is obvious in the definition of median...”denoting or relating to a value or quantity lying at the midpoint of a frequency distribution of observed values or quantities, such that there is an equal probability of falling above or below it.”
      I am dismayed that an obvious observation is lost on you if you are representative of the field in question.

      @@JustBCWi I appreciate the reply. I understand where you are coming from. Everything you said is facts and I am not denying that. When I initially read your original comment my understanding of it at first hand was this. Because Industrial Engineering has been “flat lined” in salary, then it’s not worth pursuing the career. Which is why I mentioned the hug gap of potential growth in title along with salary that most IE people have in the industry.
