1️⃣ What is Industrial Management?

It’s the planning, organizing, directing and controlling of industrial activities to ensure:

  • Efficient use of resources

  • High productivity

  • Profitability

  • Quality output

It’s basically being the boss of machines, materials, money… and humans — without turning into a movie villain 😄.


2️⃣ Functions of Industrial Management

Function What Happens
Planning Decide what to do, when, how, and with what resources
Organizing Arrange people, machines, and tasks properly
Staffing Hiring, training, and assigning employees
Directing Guiding workers, supervision, motivation, leadership
Controlling Monitoring performance & correcting deviations

Like running a restaurant… except the food is usually bolts, belts and bearings 🍽️⚙️.


3️⃣ Principles of Industrial Management

  • Division of labor → Specialization boosts productivity

  • Authority & Responsibility → You give orders, you take accountability

  • Unity of Command → One boss per worker, not 5 shouting orders

  • Discipline → Rules respected

  • Scalar Chain → Clear hierarchy/communication line

  • Order & Equity → Right place, right people, fair treatment

(Yes, management is 10% theory and 90% trying not to scream. 🤫)


4️⃣ Industrial Organization Structures

Structure Type Strength Weakness
Line Clear authority Overloading top managers
Functional Expertise-based Confusing instructions
Line & Staff Balance of clarity & expertise Conflicts between advisory & authority roles
Matrix Flexibility in projects Dual command → headaches
