About Prodigy


Hello to all Engineers! And those associated with engineering in any way! This blog is to share all that the field of Production Engineering has to offer. A platform to discuss, and learn, the wide scope of this old field of Engineering which encompasses many other fields of engg., viz. Mechanical, Automobile, Industrial, Manufacturing, Instrumental, Thermal.., as also foraying into Managament techniques used in the same.

Production Engineering, is the branch of engineering that deals with, as the name suggests, production of goods from raw material to finished state. Everything that goes into this seemingly simple process flow, viz. design, raw material, heat treatments, fabrication, machining, assembly as also the non-technical punch of planning, forecasting, managing, mapping and the like, together influence the study of Production.

It is thus, an active part of every Industry, forming the backbone of every process that goes into making the company thrive and grow. Manufacturing giants like Ford and Toyota, have contributed a great deal to the ideals that shape Prod.Engg., by way of the different techniques and ways implemented by them to be the entities they are today.

This ever increasing, ever growing field, has no bounds to where it stops. It's a horizon that stretches on to new possibilities, new innovations, new industrial revolutions and a new Way of Life.

Quoting Ayn Rand, philosopher, novelist and pioneer of 'The New Intellectual' :
"Production is the application of reason to the problem of survival"
