- A mastery of basic industrial engineering knowledge
- A command of the methodologies used by industrial engineers in applying that knowledge to the design of a product, process, or environment; and
- Has applied his or her knowledge to the analysis, design, test, implementation and evaluation of products, processes, and environments.
PIIE Certification
IE Certification is a voluntary process, which validates an individual's qualifications in the field of industrial engineering (IE) professional practice. It demonstrates to employers, clients, and peers the individual's knowledge and experience and signifies his or her commitment to continued excellence in IE professional practice. In addition, it increases visibility, builds credibility, and validates expertise with those outside the profession.
Certification Levels
