In this chapter of the book is a review of the main milestones and actors that marked the development of Industrial Engineering throughout history in the world, and particularly in Colombia. In the construction of this document, a non-experimental, transactional or transversal research design was established, with a descriptive scope, in which different types of research work were reviewed, which was taken as input to construct a timeline describing the evolution of this discipline. In the opening section of this chapter, the works of the actors who set the main trends in this discipline in the world are described chronologically. This review begins in the last decade of the 19th century, examining the work of Frederick Taylor and Henry Metcalfe, and goes on to analyse the influence that new trends such as e-Business, the Internet, Telecommunications, Broadcasting, among others, have on this discipline in the first decade of the 21st century. In the Colombian context, the different points of view on the origins of engineering in Colombia are reviewed. This part discusses the contribution made by indigenous communities, Europeans and communities of African descent. In addition, the work of people who promoted Industrial Engineering in the country as a profession is also recognized, as well as the origin of the teaching of this occupation in the country.
El transporte es una actividad fundamental dentro de la sociedad, todas las personas a diario se benefician de los servicios de transporte para desarrollar sus actividades cotidianas. Para gestionar los sistemas de transporte en una región geográfica es necesario contar con información técnica de las vías, pero diversos estudios han demostrado que los países Latinoamericanos no cuentan con eficiente información técnica de su red de carreteras. Este problema afecta la sociedad en varios niveles de forma simultanea ya que el transporte moviliza personas pero también los bienes que son consumidos por estas. El caso Colombiano no es ajeno a la realidad Latinoamericana y en algunas regiones del país el problema es aún mayor ya que la información de muchas vías no corresponde a la información que registra el Ministerio de Transporte. En este trabajo se diagnosticó la red vial del Departamento de Sucre, ubicado en la región norte de Colombia, realizando un análisis del estado del asfalto, señalización, número de carriles y velocidad de conducción. Lo anterior permitió evaluar las carreteras seleccionadas realizando una comparación con la información disponible por el ministerio de transporte, dando como resultado una matriz de inconsistencias entre la información disponible con la recolectada. Finalmente se midió el impacto en los costos y tiempos de viaje que se realizan en esta región del País.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.3527
The following research presents the results obtained from the evaluation of the carbon footprint generated by the production of aggregate materials for the construction derived from limestone, carried out in the municipality of Toluviejo-Colombia. This study was developed appling the carbon footprint assessment methodology Publicly Available Standard 2050 (PAS 2050
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
