Abstract: This will not be another story about how software engineering is \"just like\" performing brain surgery or building a car. I have never been strongly persuaded by these analogies. My claim is more modest: that there is something useful to adapt from industrial engineering (I.E.). The tools and techniques which are associated with the professional practice of I.E. may greatly assist us in the engineering of quality software.

Abstract: Five computer programs have been developed for practical use by Industrial Engineers in a production environment. The programs cover the areas of, forecasting, learning efficiency, production control, network analysis and optimum equipment replacement policies. Theory, complete program documentation and case example, for each program, are presented. Programs are written in an interactive Basic mode and have been tested on the Radio Shack TRS-80 and Apple II Plus systems.
