Marketing system industrial engineering is the study of resource use in various marketing activities with a view to increasing the efficiency or eliminating the waste wherever possible. While the marketing activities are undertaken to understand and serve the needs of the targeted customers in a market, resources namely, people, equipment, material, information and various services are used in the activities. The resource use in the marketing activities is carefully investigated by the industrial engineering to identify and remove waste. Industrial engineering succeeded in reducing the cost of many processes designed in the first iteration by the managers up to 50% and hence it is a very important activity in systems design or systems engineering.
Famous example of industrial engineering, is Henry Ford's production system redesign, that reduced the price of the automobile by half.
