EVET Project
The Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) has become a central partner in this European Union commissioned project which addresses quality assurance in VET organisations.
Quality in Vocational Education and Training (VET) (including adult education) is one of the central issues of the Copenhagen Process towards a more trust-based, transparent and quality assurance in VET. The penetrability of the education system and its effect on the labour market is a critical factor for competitive national economies. There is a need for instruments, procedures and methods for improving VET systems, this can be achieved by contributing to the design of a national approach and use it to facilitating the use of the European Quality Assurance Reference Framework- EQARF. Due to its discourse-based total quality concepts, the EFQM Excellence Model is the most appropriate quality scheme, which has been chosen by the EVET team to implement and improve quality in training provider’s organisations.
The IIE will play a pivotal role in the development and implementation of EFQM bases systems for use in SME training and education provider’s organisations. The IIE has been granted licence to adapt the GOA software system for use in the Irish market and will be carrying out “field tests” for this software in 2012.
The EVET consortium is made up of the following organisations:
Berufsfachschule BBB Switzerland
Consys ag Switzerland
IBK Management Solutions GmbH Germany
International Industrial Consult Germany
Institute of Industrial Engineering Ireland
VOAA bv Netherlands

INSTITUTE OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERS
The Industrial Engineer is concerned with the development, improvement, implementation and evaluation of integrated systems of people, money, knowledge, information, equipment, energy, material and process. In lean manufacturing systems, Industrial engineers work to eliminate waste of time, money, materials, energy, and other resources.
Established in 1955, The IIE is the professional and qualifying body for those involved in Industrial Engineering.
The Institute has affiliations and co-operation agreements with like minded organisations in other countries. To enhance the benefits to members the Institute became a chapter of the American Institute while maintaining its status as an independent national body. The Institute is a founding member of the World Confederation of Productivity Sciences. The Institute is recognised by Government, Unions and Education Organisations in Ireland. The Government has granted the Institute the right to make a nomination to the Industry and Commerce panel of the Irish Senate and is often consulted for its input to Government industry white papers.
The industrial engineering profession has evolved from methods engineering and work measurement, to a profession which now covers a wide range of skills which would be utilised by national and multinational organisations both large and small across all sectors of business. This wider range of skills include, plant layout, computer simulation, production planning, MRP systems, project management, motivation and psychology, industrial relations, engineering mathematics, quality management and resource planning. The next evolution will include topics associated with the green economy. The skills required will include energy management, waste management, water and effluent treatment, sustainability and environmental management. These skills will provide a wider scope for the employment of industrial engineers broadening the industry sectors in which they can operate.
In the current testing economic climate it is expected that the role of the industrial engineer as the catalyst for productivity improvement will have a larger role to play in Irish based industrial, financial and service organisations. This will only be achieved with the continued evolution of the profession to provide for customer requirements by continuously enhancing the skill set of the industrial engineer.
