Industrial Engineer(IIE USA) June 2008
Letter by Prof KVSS Narayana Rao (IE 7) was published in Industrial Engineer.
Coverage examination
I read the magazine more regularly after rejoining the faculty of the National Institute of Industrial Engineering (India).
In my efforts to understand the focus of industrial engineering from its history, I came to the conclusion that the focus of IE is on efficiency or productivity. This efficiency focus can be categorized into human efficiency and system efficiency.
The focus of [Frederick] Taylor and [Frank and Lillian] Gilbreth was more on human efficiency. The focus of Harrington Emerson was on system efficiency. Industrial engineering is an amalgam of the thoughts of these pioneers and has progressed well.
Industrial engineers have to understand the technical and business processes that are given to them improve efficiency. In a magazine of industrial engineers, there should be material on IE departments, their organization, and achievements. Managing IE departments and implementation of IE projects are vital areas that should be covered. Then descriptions of career progress of industrial engineers from IE departments to CEOs are required to provide role models to young industrial engineers.

Ganesh Natarajan
In tune with Life
A note on Natarajan's pursuits beyond corporate work.
Natarajan has authored six books.
He says, he is happiest doing five different things at the same time.
He is currently working on two new books.
Last year he coproduced a movie with Amol Palekar called Quest, which was sold to the UN.
He is a champion antakshari and karaoke singer.
Since 1994, Natarajan has been a member of the Nasscom executive council, where 24 CEOs of multinational and indian IT companies work in unison to serve their industry.
Pradeep Udhas, head of markets at KPMG and former Nasscom executive council member-reflects: Ganesh is an artiste; his leadership style is creative, not cut-throat.
Innovation has become the passion for Natarajan. As Nasscom chairman, his focus today is to take the IT revolution to rural India; he is also encouraging women in leadership roles in industry. He identified a pioneering work done by educationist Urvashi Sahni, who set up a lab in rural Uttar Pradesh that successfully trains villagers to test software for a Californian company. Nasscom is looking at how the potential of this model to create IT jobs in rural India.
