Have you ever been to a factory or industry? Have you seen a factory or industry in television? Have you ever thought how the whole system works efficiently? Who has planned and implemented the whole system, selected the technology, machines and the amount of materials? Well the answer is production engineer. Without a production engineer a company may never operate efficiently. An entire production cycle consists of planning, procurement of materials, managing, manufacturing, distribution and sales. A production engineer plays a major role in all sections except distribution and sales.
Production engineering is some what similar to mechanical engineering. Almost half the subjects are same for both courses. The difference is that production engineering has an upper hand in management side and manufacturing side. Manufacturing subjects gives you knowledge about machining processes (milling, drilling etc), joining processes (welding, soldering etc), castings (die, sand etc), metal cutting and tool design, machine tools, automation, assembly lines, jigs and fixtures etc. Management subjects makes you strong in ergonomics, manufacturing management, materials management, production planning etc. And therefore production engineering is a combination of manufacturing technology and management techniques. During your engineering course, final semesters mainly consists of management subjects. You can get mechanical equivalent certificate by just writing a test.
