Abstract: The objective is to make Industrial Engineering more effective. Industrial Engineering needs a Revolution. Industrial Engineering is about Optimisation. However presently this optimization is only applied to factory set up. Optimisation is needed everywhere. And Optimisation must be applied in a creative way and not by predetermined procedures. Finally Optimisation needs to be seen as a mindset and not as a methodology. Basically Industrial Engineering needs drastic changes in 3 different directions. Firstly Industrial Engineering needs to get applied everywhere. Secondly Industrial Engineering needs to be understood as a Mindset, not as a Methodology. Finally Industrial Engineering needs to be become more creative, with lots of ideas. And this change has to happen fast and quickly. Hence it can only be termed as a revolution. Academicians in Industrial Engineering must shed their inhibitions and embrace the fact that Optimisation is needed everywhere. Secondly Optimisation can be done in a creative manner. Finally, Optimisation is a Mindset and cannot be reduced to a Methodology. Of course there could be resistance to change. But change is progress. After all even Industrial Engineering invention and discovery was a change. Hence this break from past in Industrial Engineering is a change that needs to be embraced and welcomed. It requires unshackled mind and free spirit to incite and instigate a Revolution in Industrial Engineering.

Abstract: Brain Storming is a creativity technique by which efforts are made to find conclusion to a problem by gathering list of ideas spontaneously contributed by each of members. Industrial Engineering is optimisation of complex processes, systems and organisations by developing, improving and implementing systems of people, money, knowledge, information and equipment. Essentially Industrial Engineering is all about Optimisation. Can Brain Storming be used for Optimisation? Brain Storming is a group creativity technique by which efforts are made to find conclusion to a problem by gathering a list of ideas spontaneously contributed to by members. Brainstorming is a situation where a group of people meet to generate ideas and solution around a specific domain by removing inhibitions. People are allowed to think freely and suggest as many new ideas as possible. These ideas are noted without criticism and after brain storming ideas are evaluated. There are several techniques that complement, supplement and are perhaps congruent in overlapping sort of way. These techniques must be used to enhance brainstorming techniques to make them more effective. Some of these techniques are discussed here – Out of Box Thinking, Lateral Thinking, Right Brain Thinking, Creative Thinking, Divergent Thinking and so on. Industrial Engineering is focused on optimisation through predetermined procedures and that leads to one solution for a problem. No doubt this has a place in optimisation panaroma. But Optimisation is too wide a field. Hence you need Brain Storming Industrial Engineering.
