The History of Organization Engineering in Spain

Abstract

Organization Engineering, more commonly referred to as Industrial Engineering in the English-speaking world, is a widespread discipline that covers fields from Economic Analysis to Production Management or Operational Research. Our objective with this paper is to describe the historical evolution of this discipline, star ting from the strive of the Industrial Revolution for efficiently planning and managing the new production means. We discuss the main cornerstones in this evolution, star ting with the works of F.W. Taylor, analyze the influence of World War II, which boosted the demand for increasingly complex models, algorithms and applications, and describe the current scenario for Organization Engineering and its main challenges for the future. The paper then turns to the Spanish context, where the academic development of the discipline is also analyzed, including mention of the different Engineering Schools where the corresponding fields were incorporated to their curriculum, and ending with the current scenario brought along at the European level by the Bologna agreement. The third and final par t of the paper explores the relation between Organization Engineering and Business Organization in Spain. These two areas of knowledge, the first one related to engineering and industrial concepts while the second one is more focused on economics and usually based on Economics Faculties, are often perceived as identical due to their similarities, but we comment on their differences, which are also representative of the differences between Industrial Engineering and Economics, in terms of contents, methodologies and scope.La historia de la Organización Industrial en EspañaResumen: La Ingeniería de Organización, comúnmente conocida como Industrial Engineering en el mundo anglosajón, constituye una disciplina ampliamente extendida que abarca campos que van desde el Análisis Económico hasta la Gestión de la Producción o los Métodos Cuantitativos. Nuestro objetivo con este trabajo es el de describir la evolución histórica de esta disciplina, empezando desde la necesidad de la Revolución Industrial de planificar y gestionar eficientemente los nuevos medios productivos. Así, describimos los principales hitos identificables en esta evolución, empezando con los trabajos de F.W. Taylor, analizamos la influencia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, que disparó la demanda de modelos, algoritmos y aplicaciones cada vez más complejos, y comentamos el escenario actual de la Ingeniería de Organización y sus principales retos de cara al futuro. El ar tículo se centra a partir de ahí en el contexto español, para el que se analiza igualmente el desarrollo académico de la disciplina, incluyendo una mención a las diferentes Escuelas de Ingeniería que incorporaron las materias correspondientes a su plan de estudios, y finalizando con la situación actual generada a nivel europeo por el Tratado de Bolonia. La tercera y última par te del ar tículo explora la relación entre la Ingeniería de Organización y la Organización de Empresas en España. Estas dos áreas de conocimiento, la primera de ellas relacionada con conceptos industriales e ingenieriles mientras que la segunda está más orientada a la economía y se suele impartir en Facultades de Económicas, son con frecuencia percibidas como idénticas a causa de sus similitudes, pero nos centramos aquí en recalcar sus diferencias, en materia de contenidos, metodologías y ámbitos de actuación.Keywords: Organization Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Historical Evolution, Academic Development.
