A Methodological Approach To Developing Stakeholder Defined Demand Pull Requirements For Graduate Level Industrial Engineering Graduates

Manufacturing and service organizations generate outputs to satisfy the needs of the consumer whose perceptions and judgments are shaped by an environment of political, economic, social, and technological change. Products and service outputs result from processes supported by these companies’ engineering employees, who may be also represented as an “output” from a diverse set of originating sources. Such “sources” can be the “general workforce,” direct accession from high school, or graduates of higher education engineering programs.
