House of Manufacture that Produces Industrial Systems Thinkers

 

Imagine standing in the middle of a large factory. Machines move, materials move, operators work, and production data flows continuously. At first glance, it seems like ordinary activity. However, behind all this lies one defining element: the system. This is where the concept of the House of Manufacture finds its meaning.

Under the auspices of the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology, Industrial Engineering doesn’t just teach how to make products. It teaches how to design systems that enable products to be created efficiently, precisely, and sustainably.

1. Manufacturing as a Core Identity

Unlike many universities that emphasize managerial aspects, ITS Industrial Engineering places manufacturing systems as the backbone of its academic discipline.

Students understand how production systems are designed from scratch, from capacity planning and layout design to human-machine integration, all the way to the transformation towards smart manufacturing. This focus produces graduates who not only understand management theory but truly understand the “heart” of industrial operations.

2. Aligned with National Industrial Transformation

The government, through the Ministry of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia, is encouraging the acceleration of industrial transformation through the Making Indonesia 4.0 roadmap. The focus is on technology integration, increased productivity, and the competitiveness of national manufacturing.

The ITS Industrial Engineering curriculum is designed to align with these needs. Students learn automation integration, system performance analysis, and quantitative model-based decision-making to support sustainable industrial transformation.

3. Producing Systems Thinkers for Industry

As the House of Manufacture, ITS Industrial Engineering strives to produce systems thinkers capable of viewing the industry holistically. Graduates are not solely focused on machines or management, but are able to understand the relationships between elements in a production system and make strategic decisions based on data.

The identity of the House of Manufacture is reflected in the alumni’s track record. ITS Industrial Engineering graduates are active in the manufacturing, operations, and supply chain sectors at various national and multinational companies, such as Astra International, Unilever, and Toyota Motor Corporation. The alumni’s track record demonstrates the relevance of this approach. Many graduates are active in the manufacturing and operations sectors at national and global companies, playing roles in continuous improvement, supply chain management, and operational strategy.

4. Responding to Global Industrial Challenges

Amidst global uncertainty and technological disruption, industry requires more than just technical personnel. The industrial world requires systems thinkers who can understand the interconnectedness of processes and design solutions based on efficiency and sustainability. As the House of Manufacture, ITS Industrial Engineering is committed to producing graduates who are not only ready to work in industry but also capable of leading the transformation of production systems.

5. A Remaining Relevant Foundation

Manufacturing may not always be at the forefront of public discourse, but it remains a driving force of the economy. As long as physical products are still needed by society, efficient production systems will always be relevant. With a strong foundation in manufacturing systems engineering, ITS Industrial Engineering demonstrates that the future of industry is not just about technology, but about how systems are designed to perform optimally and sustainably.
