| Abstract | Organization Engineering, more commonly referred to as Industrial Engineering in the English-speaking world, is a wi- despread discipline that covers fields from Economic Analysis to Production Management or Operational Research. Our objecti- ve with this paper is to describe the historical evolution of this discipline, starting from the strive of the Industrial Revolution for efficiently planning and managing the new production means. We discuss the main cornerstones in this evolution, starting 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 part of the paper explores the rela- tion 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 Fa- culties, are often perceived as identical due to their similarities, but we comment on their differences, which are also representa- tive of the differences between Industrial Engineering and Economics, in terms of contents, methodologies and scope. Resumen: La Ingenieria de Organizacion, comunmente conocida como Industrial Engineering en el mundo anglosajon, constituye una disciplina ampliamente extendida que abarca campos que van desde el Analisis Economico hasta la Gestion de la Produccion o los Metodos Cuantitativos. Nuestro objetivo con este trabajo es el de describir la evolucion historica de esta disciplina, empe- zando desde la necesidad de la Revolucion Industrial de planificar y gestionar eficientemente los nuevos medios productivos. Asi, describimos los principales hitos identificables en esta evolucion, empezando con los trabajos de F.W. Taylor, analizamos la in- fluencia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, que disparo la demanda de modelos, algoritmos y aplicaciones cada vez mas complejos, y comentamos el escenario actual de la Ingenieria de Organizacion y sus principales retos de cara al futuro. El articulo se centra a partir de ahi en el contexto espanol, para el que se analiza igualmente el desarrollo academico de la disciplina, incluyendo una mencion a las diferentes Escuelas de Ingenieria que incorporaron las materias correspondientes a su plan de estudios, y finalizan- do con la situacion actual generada a nivel europeo por el Tratado de Bolonia. La tercera y ultima parte del articulo explora la re- lacion entre la Ingenieria de Organizacion y la Organizacion de Empresas en Espana. Estas dos areas de conocimiento, la prime- ra de ellas relacionada con conceptos industriales e ingenieriles mientras que la segunda esta mas orientada a la economia y se suele impartir en Facultades de Economicas, son con frecuencia percibidas como identicas a causa de sus similitudes, pero nos centramos aqui en recalcar sus diferencias, en materia de contenidos, metodologias y ambitos de actuacion. |
