Manufacturing or Production Engineering is the subset / specialization of a Mechanical Engineering. Mechanical Engineering with the focus only on Machine Tools, Materials Science, Tribology, and Quality Control is known as Manufacturing Engineering. Professional manufacturing engineers are responsible for all aspect of the design, development, implementation, operation and management of manufacturing system. Manufacturing is the most important element in any engineering process & Manufacturing Engineers are key personnel in many organization. The manufactured products range from aero planes, turbines, engines and pumps - to integrated circuits and robotic equipment.

Production Engineering is one of the main tools of any industry. From the stage of inception to concluding final production of good, it is included in every stage. This leads candidates with a wide prospect of careers in sectors of Manufacturing industry, food processing industry, IT firms, as well as many private and public sector.They can become Process Engineer, Operations Analyst, Management Engineer, Engineering Plant Production Manager and opportunities in development and management sectors in departments concerning production process, implementation and assembling.

The average salary for a Production Engineer is ₹ 16,769 per month in India.

All the best
