As an engineer, I always find it interesting to see how frequently engineering and scientific terminology is hijacked for use in business jargon. It suggests to me that when it comes to applying analytical methods to business processes, better results could be obtained by Business Process Engineering.
Productivity is certainly of interest to manufacturing and other organisations. An engineering approach to the search for efficiency and optimisation may be very useful and revealing. Apply an approach that is based on good engineering practice and see how a process (manufacturing, retail, commercial, institutional) benefits. An engineer with a good knowledge of business processes will be more than capable of applying an engineering approach to most organisations.
