Teollisuusinsinööriksi is a Finnish term that translates to "industrial engineer" in English. It refers to a professional who is trained in the field of industrial engineering, a branch of engineering that focuses on the optimization of complex processes, systems, or organizations. Industrial engineers are concerned with designing, improving, and installing integrated systems of people, money, knowledge, information, equipment, energy, and materials. They use mathematical, physical, and social sciences in combination with the principles and methods of engineering design to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems and enterprises.

The role of an industrial engineer is broad and can involve various tasks. They might work in manufacturing settings to improve production efficiency, reduce waste, and ensure quality control. In service industries, they could focus on optimizing customer service processes, streamlining logistics, or enhancing healthcare delivery. Their expertise is also valuable in areas like supply chain management, operations research, ergonomics, and systems engineering. Industrial engineers often employ techniques such as statistical analysis, simulation modeling, lean manufacturing, and Six Sigma methodologies to achieve their goals. The educational background for an industrial engineer typically involves a university degree in industrial engineering or a related field.
