Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR) at IIT Bombay offers
research based M.Tech, Ph.D. and M.Sc-Ph.D. dual degree programmes,
and is actively involved in research (including sponsored
projects), consulting and continuing education. The discipline
offers a blend of theory, modelling and application, drawing
from traditional as well as modern areas of operations research,
together with a systems view derived from long-standing principles
of industrial engineering. This approach provides a backdrop
for technically sound decisions at operational and tactical
levels and occasionally at the strategic level, for a variety
of organizations.
Established as the first interdisciplinary programme in IIT
Bombay, IEOR contributes significantly to achieve the goals
of IIT through various activities such as offering academic
programmes, conducting continuing education programmes (CEP),
carrying out research projects of different types and associating
with community service.
The IEOR programme also has steady interaction with a wide
spectrum of industries and sectors of the economy and society
through participation in conferences, hosting visitors from
academia and industries, carrying out sponsored projects and
placement of students in different sectors etc.
IEOR graduates work in a variety of research labs and industries,
including: manufacturing, communications, transportation,
banking, pharmaceuticals, finance, travel, semiconductor,
e-business, sports, health, and information technology.
