Professional English for Industrial EngineeringChapter1 Unit3翻译姓名:专业:工业工程班级:学号:完成日期:2015-10-31Chapter 1Unit 3 Academic Disciplines of Industrial Engineering五大主要工程学科和它们的发展在美国,有五个主要工程学科(土木、化学、电工、工业、机械),它们是早在第一次世界大战时就出现的工程分支学科。

这些进步是世界范围内发生的工业革命的一部分,并且在技术革命的开始阶段仍在发生。

随着第二次世界大战的发展导致了其他工程学科的发展,比如核工程,电子工程,航空工程,甚至是电脑工程。

太空时代导致了航空工程的发展。

最近对环境的关注使得环境工程和生态工程也得到了发展。

这些更新的工程学科经常被认为是专长学科包含“五大”学科,即土木,化学,电工,工业,和机械工程里的一种或多种。

和美国的情况不同,工业工程在中国属于第一层级管理科学和工程学科下面的第二级别的学科。

IE学科的开端学科后来演变成工业工程学科是最初在机械工程系被作为特殊课程教的。

首个工业工程的分部在1908年的宾夕法尼亚州大学和雪城大学被建立。

(在宾夕法尼亚州的项目是短期存在的,但是它在1925年又重建了)一个在普渡大学的机械工程的IE选科在1911年被建立。

一个更完整的工业工程学院项目的历史可能在资料中被找到。

在机械工程部有一个IE选科的实践是主要的模式直到第二次世界大战的结束,并且分离出来的IE部在整个上个世纪里的文理学院和综合大学里被建立。

早在第二次世界大战的时候,在工业工程方面,只有很少的毕业生水平的研究。

一旦分开的学部建立之后,学士和博士级别的项目开始出现。

现代IE的教育—分支学科今天,与过去相比,工业工程对于不同的人来说意味着不同的东西。

实际上,一个发展一个突出的现代工业工程的方法是通过获得在它的分支学科和它怎么联系到其他领域的理解。

In most processing and assembly operations performed on discrete parts and products ,the following ancillary functions must be provided: (1) loading and unloadingwork units and (2)positioning the work units at each station. In manufacturing systemscomposed of multiple workstations, a means of ( 3) transporting work units between stations is also required. These functions are accomplishecd by the material handling system. In many cases, the units are moved by the workers themselves, but more oftensome form of mechanized or automated material transport system is used to reduce human effort. Most material handing systems used in production also provide (4) a temporary storage function. The purpose of storage in these systems is usually to make sure that work is always present for the stations, that is, that the stations are not starved( meaning that they have nothing to work on). 在大多数加工和组装业务进行离散的部件和产品,必须提供以下辅助功能, 装卸工作和定位在每个车站的工作单位。在制造系统由多个工作单元组成的 运输单位之间的一种手段也是必需的。这些功能是通过物料搬运系统,在许 多情况下,工作单元由工人自己,但更通常 一些形式的机械化或自动化材料运 输系统完成用于降低人类的工作。生产中使用的大多数材料处理系统还提供 一个临时存储功能。通常存储在这些系统的目的是为了确保工作总是存在的, 也就是说,工位不空闲(这意味着他们没有工作)。

Several reasons can explain the recession-resistant nature of services. First, by their nature, services cannot be inventoried, as is the case for products. Second, during a recession both consumers and business firms defer capital expenditures and instead fix up and make do with existing equipment, thus, service jobs in maintenance and repair are created.

外文资料Business Process Change: A Study of Methodologies, Techniques, and Tools.CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION1.1 The Rationale for TQM and BPROver the past two decades, domestic competition and globalization have threatened the growth, profitability and the very survival of many firms and organizations in general. Organizational and technological factors are combining to create a very competitive business environment in which customers are the focal point. Further, these factors can sometimes change quickly in a very unpredictable manner (Turban, McLean and Wetherbe 2002). The pace of change and the degree of uncertainty are expected to accelerate in the twenty-first century. Specific developments will be difficult to predict with certainty, and the types of changes will vary across industries. Competition will continue to increase both at home and abroad. There will be many new products with shorter development cycles and life cycles. Some industries will have smaller production volumes with more product customization and variety (Hunt 1989). New technologies will optimize production processes and improve product quality. All of these changes are significantly affecting the way business is conducted in not only international markets but also in local markets, which are now increasingly exposed to worldwide competition.Globalization will pose challenges for some firms, while offering growth opportunities for firms capable of developing a global reach (Taylor 1991).No organization, big or small,private or public, in the manufacturing or the service sector, can afford to ignore these changes (Kelada 1996).Effective response to the changes and competitiveness in manufacturing or service operations requires a clear understanding of the business environment, anticipation of market trends, and the effective management of organizational capabilities to quickly respond to customer needs. As customers become more knowledgeable about the availability and quality of products and services, theirsophistication and expectations increase. They demand customized products and services with high quality and low prices. Organizations will be under increasing pressures to produce more, using fewer resources (Turban et al. 2002).In order to succeed or even survive in this dynamic world, companies must not only take traditional action, such as lowering costs, but also take innovative action, such as changing structure or processes (Boyett and Boyett 1995). Other researchers have proposed various paradigms, theories, and strategies to cope with the ever changing environment and to sustain Organizational Competitiveness. Two proposed strategies are the evolutionary approach of Total Quality Management (TQM) and the revolutionary approach of Business Process Reengineering (BPR).TQM has been adopted as the organization-wide approach to quality management and continuous improvement since the early 1980s in the United States. It has been widely studied and implemented both in practitioner and academic research literature. An Industry Week article (Benson 1993) claimed that, "In 10 short years, TQM has been as pervasive a part of business thinking as quarterly financial results. A special section of Fortune magazine titled, "Quality 2000: The Next Decade of Progress," included the following statement, "since 1985, thousands of organizations have adopted and applied the principles of total quality management (TQM). As a result, the worldwide standards for the quality of products and services have never been higher. TQM has proven to be a highly adaptive management tool that is here to stay. It has passed the fad test. TQM has delivered on its promise, but has not reached its potential." Today, people talk much less about TQM; however, they practice it, applying its concepts and principles to their work (Kelada 1996). Many companies that have successfully adopted TQM do not even use the phrase total quality anymore; it has simply become a way of doing business (Jacob 1993).Some companies have achieved major improvements. As Samson and Terziovski (1999) state, "At the pinnacle of lists of those who have accomplished great improvements are the winners of the various quality awards around the world." However, they also argue that after twenty years of experience with TQM practices, it is clear that the performance improvements are, "indeed not clear, but are verymixed!" They add, "for each successful implementation of TQM there are many which have not been able to translate their efforts into operational or business improvement." There have been TQM failures reported by other authors in the literature. According to Kelada(1996), there have been "more failures than successes".TQM has also been criticized as being no longer adequate for survival in the increasingly dynamic competitive environment. Can and Johansson(1995) stated that TQM had not worked for many companies because it had been narrow in focus and limited to improving the existing way of doing business. Some experts claimed that BPR had replaced TQM because the latter was an incremental, limited and continuous improvement of existing processes. In contrast they claimed that BPR was a radical change in business processes, and the most effective approach in dealing with the drastic changes in the world (Kelada1996). Hammer(1990) advised, "don't automate,obliterate." He defined Reengineering as the radical redesign of business processes for dramatic improvement. He emphasized a "clean-slate" approach i.e. discard the old system and start with one that has been completely redesigned. Other researchers such as Davenport and Short (1990), Davenport(1993b), Hammer and Champy (1993), and Teng, Grover, and Fiedler(1994) also recommended using Business Process Reengineering (BPR) to radically redesign and improve business processes.In the face of intense competition and other business pressures, Davenport(1993b) suggested that, "quality initiatives and continuous, incremental process improvements, though still essential, will no longer be sufficient." He added that, "firms must seek not fractional, but multiplicative levels of improvement一l OX rather than 10%. Such radical levels of change require powerful new tools that will facilitate the fundamental redesign of wo rk.”Davenport(1993) depicts the History of Process Improvement Approaches in Figure 1 .The first approach was Inspection as the final step in the manufacturing process.Poor quality goods were rejected or recycled. The second approach used Statistical Quality Control to implement a strict control of the manufacturing process.It focused on improvement in existing processes. The radical Process Innovation approach was adopted in the 1980s.1.2 Business Process ReengineeringBPR has also been known as Business Process Redesign, Business Reengineering, Process Improvement, Process Innovation, Business Transformation and Business Process Change. There has been much confusion as to what this strategy entails, and when it came into existence. Earl(1994) wrote an essay attempting to evaluate and understand what is new and what is old about BPR. He described BPR as the "latest management recipe being offered for the survival of western businesses." He wrote, "The protagonists seem convinced that it is a new approach to improving business performance even if it may be a synthesis of recent and not so recent ideas. The cynics feel that they have seen it before in different guises and stress the apparent naivety of some of the component concepts.Meanwhile some of the companies claim that `it has worked for them', even if some did not realize it was BPR that they were practicing! These claims and counterclaims can be caricatured as `new wonder drug' or `old wine in new bottles'." Earl concluded that BPR had components that were both old and new.Davenport (1995) stated that all "components" of BPR existed prior to 1990, but later assembled into one management process. He added that, "Reengineering is new, therefore, only as a new synthesis of previously existing ideas."King (1994) stated that Process Reengineering was in the debunking phase of its life cycle. He proposed the existence of an evolutionary pattern in which management ideas and techniques are first presented as panaceas for business success and subsequently debunked as worthless. He mentioned previous examples and suggested that BPR was not immune to this pattern.The years following the seminal BPR publications in 1990-1993 were characterized by a bandwagon effect involving many firms eager to implement BPR. The continued global competition, economic down turn, and the potential offered by emerging technologies were pushing finms to fundamentally rethink their business processes. Many firms reasoned that business process change was the only way toleverage their core competencies and achieve competitive advantage. This belief led to a near "reengineering frenzy" (Kettinger and Grover 1995).By the mid 1990s, a number of firms had poor experiences in implementing BPR The literature began reporting failures as highas50-75%(Caron, Jarvenpaa&Stoddard,1994;Hammer&Champy,1993;Braganza&Myers,1997). Support for BPR began to wane. Some researchers attempted to stem the tide of negative reaction by explaining the fundamentals of BPR and its "real" objectives.The increasing competitive pressure that organisations currently face forces them to find ways of minimising the time it takes to develop the product, bring products to the market and offer efficient and effective service to customers while at the same time maximising profits. This pressure has made BPR one of the most popular topics in organisational management and has created new ways of doing business (Tumay 1995). BPR relates to the fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of an entire business system to achieve significant improvements in performance of the company.Many leading organisations have conducted BPR in order to improve productivity and gain competitive advantage. For example, a survey of 180 US and 100 European companies found that 75% of these companies had engaged in significant re-engineering efforts in the past three years (Jackson 1996). Among the reasons leading to the success of BPR is an emphasis on a top-down approach, empowerment, teamworking and flattening of hierarchies.Nevertheless, despite the success stories associated with BPR, there are high failure rates associated with it. Hammer and Champy(1995 ) noted that failure rates as high as 70% can be observed as a result of BPR. However, presently, data to support this claim is limited.Research in the area has tried to provide reasons for this high failure rate. Among these are: trying to do too much, not appreciating the risk factors (communications, mea surer, accountability) and not putting the most appropriate people on the project. However, among the top five reasons leading to the failure of BPR, the one that concerned people was prominent. In this, `middle management resistance' was cited as the most common cause for failure.Other reasons contributing to BPR failure were top/senior management, the prevailing culture and political culture, as well as employee fear and resistance to change (Gram and Wellins 1996). Other frequently cited problems related to BPR include the inability to predict the outcome of radical change, difficulty in capturing existing processes in a way that can be seen by multidisciplinary team members, a lack of creativity in process redesign, cost of implementing the new process, or inability to recognise the dynamic nature of the processes. It is often argued that one of the major problems that contribute to the failure of BPR projects is a lack of tools for evaluating the effects of designed solutions before implementation (Paolucci et al 1997; Tumay 1995).Mistakes as a result of BPR can only be recognised once the redesigned processes are implemented. This raises important issues, as it is particularly expensive and difficult to attempt the task of correcting earlier mistakes at this point. Although the evaluation of alternative solutions might be difficult, it is imperative that the risks associated with BPR projects are minimised. The following section describes the approach that the centre has adopted to investigate the aforementioned issues.The Centre for Re-engineering Business Processes at Brunel University aims to investigate how the success rate of BPR can be improved. We suggest that this can only be achieved by considering all the relevant factors in a systematic manner. Some of these factors include the role of information technology in business process change as enabler and implementers, human and organisational factors related to, for example, resistance to change or motivation of teams involved in BPR, and the importance of using dynamic modelling techniques to develop models of processes prior to their change. Some of the current areas of our research are summarised and described in Fig. 1 .Experiences from other similar organisations that under took BPR, investigating cases of BPR success and failure and learning lessons from other BPR projects represent another important area to be considered.Additional factors that are vitally important to BPR projects are the human aspects. These factors could determine how the resistance to change could bereduced and how teams involved in BPR projects could be better motivated which eventually leads to better performance within the team and better results for the BPR project.The role of information technology as a BPR enabler or implementer is another important area that is being investigated by the members of REBUS. It has been perceived that knowledge management is becoming increasingly important for organisations. Capturing tacit knowledge and disseminating it among employees has significant impact on business processes, organisational culture and general performance of a company. This is one of the new areas being researched within the centre.Other research areas being investigated include: the study of interorganisational system stakeholders and the role of stakeholders in BPR (Pouloudi and Whitley 1997), business process modelling, information systems-enabled change management (Giaglis et al 1999a), the success and failure of business re-engineering in developing and industrial countries, the coherence of business process changes and information technology (Choudrie et al 1998) and management innovation and change panaceas (Currie and Hlupic 2000).Stakeholders have their own interests, and by committing themselves to the team these can be reconciled. For instance, a case team could consist of technicians, managers or consultants, each having experience and knowledge of different areas of expertise. Different areas can thus be reconciled by bringing them together as a team, and in doing so enabling them to work towards a common goal.中文翻译业务流程变化:方法学的研究,技术和工具第1章:引言1.1基本原理TQM和BPR在过去的二十年中,国内竞争和全球化有受到威胁的增长,盈利能力及许多企业和组织的生存一般。

1. 重点语句翻译(把下列语句翻译成中文)
① Industrial engineering (IE) is emerging as one of the classic and novel professions that will be counted for solving complex and systematic problems in the highly technological world of today.
Engineering and Science
Engineering and science have developed in a parallel, complementary fashion, although not always at the same pace. Obviously, knowledge cannot be applied until it is discovered, and once discovered, it will soon be put to use. In its efforts to solve problems, engineering provides feedback to science in areas where new knowledge is needed. Thus, science and engineering work hand in hand.
