INGENIERÍA INDUSTRIAL - INGLES TÉCNICO II– Año 2016 – MBA Adriana Deza 2
INTRODUCCIÓN
Esta recopilación y ejercitación no está pensada como una autoguía de estudio, sino como soporte de clases presenciales. Busca
colaborar con el desarrollo de tus propias habilidades lectoras e interpretativas de textos escritos en idioma inglés que versen sobre
cuestiones relacionadas a tu opción de estudios universitarios, es decir, la Ingeniería Industrial y el amplio abanico que
especialidades que abarca.
Los textos que se incluyen son, en su mayoría, originales, por ello se cita la fuente informática de la cual se obtuvieron. La
ejercitación es gradual y orientativa, dirigida a que internalices estrategias que te permitan inferir el significado de palabras, de
frases o de estructuras opacas para un hispano-parlante, “minimizando” el uso del diccionario, es decir, promoviendo su utilización
como último recurso, abordando eventualmente las búsquedas de un modo inteligente y efectivo.
Nos apoyaremos en tu Weltanshauung, tu Cosmovisión de alumno universitario argentino, de habla hispana, que a tu edad ya ha
tenido una virtual sobreexposición mediática a la lengua inglesa desde la infancia, y que ya ha cursado el nivel I de la materia.
Recurriremos a la Gramática, ciencia que estudia los elementos de una lengua y sus combinaciones y a la Gramática
Comparada, para establecer relaciones entre ambas lenguas, haciendo permanentes análisis lexicos, semánticos y sintácticos a
partir de tus propios conocimientos y de los nuevos conceptos que vayas adquiriendo.
Te invito a compartir este módulo de aprendizaje, en el que reforzarás tus capacidades de lector
autónomo y competente y desarrollarás tus habilidades intelectuales superiores: reconocimiento,
comprensión, aplicación y análisis, síntesis y evaluación de información relevante en idioma
extranjero, en un ambiente de respeto y cordialidad, para que la instancia áulica resulte
satisfactoria para todos quienes participan.
Te invito a que compruebes cuántas cosas no sabías que sabías… Adriana A. Deza

1. Como SUSTANTIVO
In multi-phase projects, monitoring provides feedback between project phases, in order to
implement corrective or preventive actions to bring the project into compliance with the project
management plan.
While the terms may differ from industry to industry, the actual stages typically follow common steps
to problem solving—"defining the problem, weighing options, choosing a path, implementation and
evaluation.
Traditionally, project management includes a number of elements: four to five process groups, and a
control system. Major process groups generally include: i) Initiation; ii) Planning or design, iii)
Production or execution; iv) Monitoring and controlling; v) Closing
Additional processes, such as planning for communications and for scope management, identifying
roles and responsibilities, determining what to purchase for the project and holding a kick-off
meeting are also generally advisable.
2. Como ADJETIVO
The initiating processes determine the nature and scope of the project.
This kind of the DIY (do-it-yourself) approach is also applicable to the qualifications of software,
computer operating systems and manufacturing processes.
The company stopped performing energy audits on existing pipeline infrastructure despite
regulatory advice on continuing them.
11. Como QUE + VERBO CONJUGADO, cuando se usa para simplificar una oración
adjetiva post-modificadora
Using complex models for "projects" (or rather "tasks") spanning a few weeks has proved to cause
unnecessary costs and low maneuverability in several cases.
Supersonic aerodynamic problems are those involving flow speeds greater than the speed of sound.
Mixtures containing a solid and a solvent can be separated by using a decanter, and then simply
pouring the liquid off.
INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
1 Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering which deals with the optimization of complex
2 processes or systems. It is concerned with the development, improvement, implementation of
3 integrated systems of people, money, knowledge, information, equipment, energy, materials,
4 analysis and synthesis, as well as the mathematical, physical and social sciences together with the
5
principles and methods of engineering design to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be
6
7
obtained from such systems or processes. While industrial engineering is a traditional and
8 longstanding engineering discipline subject to (and eligible for) professional engineering licensure
9 in most jurisdictions, its underlying concepts overlap considerably with certain business-oriented
10 disciplines such as operations management.
11 Depending on the subspecialties involved, industrial engineering may also be known as, or
12 overlap with, operations management, management science, operations research, systems
13 engineering, management engineering, manufacturing engineering, ergonomics or human factors
14 engineering, safety engineering, or others, depending on the viewpoint or motives of the user.
15 Examples of where industrial engineering might be used include flow process charting, process
16 mapping, designing an assembly workstation, strategizing for various operational logistics,
17 consulting as an efficiency expert, developing a new financial algorithm or loan system for a bank,
18 streamlining operation and emergency room location or usage in a hospital, planning complex
19 distribution schemes for materials or products (referred to as supply-chain management), and
20 shortening lines (or queues) at a bank, hospital, or a theme park.
21 Modern industrial engineers typically use predetermined motion time system, computer
22 simulation (especially discrete event simulation), along with extensive mathematical tools for
23 modeling, such as mathematical optimization and queue theory, and computational methods for
24 system analysis, evaluation, and optimization.

INGENIERÍA INDUSTRIAL - INGLES TÉCNICO II– Año 2016 – MBA Adriana Deza 11
12 Industrial engineering courses were taught by multiple universities in Europe at the end of the
13 19th century, including in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Spain. In the United States,
14 the first department of industrial and manufacturing engineering was established in 1909 at the
15 Pennsylvania State University. The first doctoral degree in industrial engineering was awarded in
16 the 1930s by Cornell University.
17 In general it can be said that the foundations of industrial engineering as it looks today, began to
18 be built in the twentieth century. The first half of the century was characterized by an emphasis
19 on increasing efficiency and reducing industrial organization costs.
20 In 1909, Frederick Taylor published his theory of scientific management, which included accurate
21 analysis of human labor, systematic definition of methods, tools and training for employees.
22 Taylor dealt in time using timers, set standard times and managed to increase productivity while
23 reducing labor costs and increasing the wages and salaries of the employees.
24 In 1912 Henry Laurence Gantt developed the Gantt chart which outlines actions for the
25 organization along with their relationships. This chart later form was made familiar to us by
26 Wallace Clark.
27 Assembly lines: moving car factory of Henry Ford (1913) accounted for a significant leap forward
28 in the field. Ford reduced the assembly time of a car more than 700 hours to 1.5 hours. In
29 addition, he was a pioneer of the economy of the capitalist welfare ("welfare capitalism") and the
30 flag of providing financial incentives for employees to increase productivity.
31 Comprehensive quality management system (TQM) developed in the forties, was gaining
32 momentum after World War II and was part of the recovery of Japan after the war.
33 In the seventies, with the penetration of Japanese management theories such as Kaizen and
34 Kanban, the issues of quality, delivery time, and flexibility were promoted.
35 In the nineties, following the global industry globalization process, the emphasis was on supply
36 chain management, and customer-oriented business process design. Theory of constraints
37 developed by an Israeli scientist Eliyahu M. Goldratt (1985) is also a significant milestone in the
38 field.

MODO CONDICIONAL
Suppose you work at McDonalds assembling Big Mac’s. You are told the
formula for a Big Mac is: “two all-beef patties on a sesame seed bun”. This
is your balanced equation. Now suppose your manager gave you 12 patties
and 10 buns. If you start making up Big Macs, what input (buns or patties)
will you run out of first?
The answer is that patties are limiting. You have enough buns to make 10
Big Macs, but you can only make 6 Big Macs with the patties you were
given (because you have to put two patties on every bun). In this example
beef patties are the limiting agent.
www.scribd.com/doc/.../Energy-and-the-Environment
Tomemos el ejemplo de la línea de armado de Big Macs del párrafo anterior para hacer un
repaso del Modo Condicional en inglés. Recordemos que las gramáticas tradicionales dividen
las oraciones condicionales en cuatro tipos principales, según la secuencia de tiempos verbales
entre ellas y el grado creciente de verosimilitud que el autor asigna a la posibilidad que se
cumpla la predicción, si se cumple la condición.
TIPO 0 o neutro:
Refiere a las “verdades eternas” (eternal truths) o leyes naturales, y presenta igual
tiempo verbal en condición y predicción; el ejemplo clásico es: “If you heat ice, it melts”,
en el cual, dada la condición, la predicción se cumple con total seguridad. En el ejemplo
elegido, si el grado de certeza del autor fuera absoluto, podría decir la siguiente oración
condicional: If you buy a Big Mac, you get two patties per bun.
TIPO 1
(Alta Probabilidad) (Presente + will/imperativo): If you have 20 patties and 10 buns (plus
the other ingredients and seasoning) you will be able to make 10 Big Macs
TIPO 2
(Contrario a una realidad presente) (Past + would): If you had 20 patties and 10 buns
you would be able to make 10 Big Macs
TIPO 3
(Contrario a una realidad pasada, es decir, imposible) (Past Perfect + would + Perfect):
If you had had 20 patties and 10 buns you would have been able to make 10 Big Macs.
Adicionalmente a las formas tradicionales de expresar condiciones que vimos arriba (Condición +
Predicción en una secuencia de verbos determinados que indican el grado de certidumbre que el
autor asigna a tal relación), podemos encontrar casos especiales que, por no resultar
transparentes a la traducción, pueden complejizar la comprensión.

o Liquefied propane gas (LPG) fracturing, or simply "gas fracking," is a waterless method
developed by a small energy company, in Calgary, Alberta. Aside from being better
INGENIERÍA INDUSTRIAL - INGLES TÉCNICO II– Año 2016 – MBA Adriana Deza 19
environmentally, using propane for fracking can also be more efficient, because it allows
more gas to flow from wells than water-based fracturing. All the propane leaves the
fractured rocks, unlike water, part of which remains behind and can be absorbed into rock
and so partially block the pathways for gas to escape. The propane method uses only about
one quarter of the number of truck trips that water-based fracking employs, so the impact on
local roads, the noise and dust annoyance to neighbors, and the trucking costs for drillers
are reduced. However, propane costs more initially to use, even though it can be resold
once recovered. It is also explosive, and requires special equipment to be handled properly
and reduce risk

Corrosion is a natural process. The primary driving force of corrosion is based upon the
transformation of iron from its natural state to steel. The refining of iron ore into steel
requires the addition of energy. Steel is essentially an unstable state of iron and corrosion is
the process of iron returning to its natural state. The energy used in the refining process is
the driving force of corrosion. Corrosion cells are established on underground pipelines for a
variety of causes. A primary cause of corrosion is due to an effect known as galvanic
corrosion. All metals have different natural electrical potentials. Where two metals with
different potentials are connected to each other in a common environment, current will flow
causing corrosion to occur. The coupling of steel to a different metal, such as copper, will
cause a corrosion circuit to be established. Direct coupling of copper to steel will cause the
steel to corrode much faster than normal. Another form of this is the coupling of rusty pipe
to new, clean steel. The natural difference in potential causes the new steel to corrode more
rapidly than the old steel. Other causes of pipeline corrosion cells include the effect of
different soil types, oxygen availability, stray current interference and microbiological
growth.
New method allows to encapsulate substances in nanospheres. The method allows for the
creation of micro and nanospheres by joining two units: an organic or binding molecule,
which acts as an "adhesive", and a metal ion. Please allow us to introduce the subject first.
Methylated vinyl sulfides made the reaction to be more sluggish than substitution of alkyl
group in that system.
Protective metal coatings: As protective coatings metals have advantages and disadvantages.
Thus they resist damage well, and are usually far less sensitive to heat, light, water and
oxidation than are organic coatings. Moreover, metal coatings still permit high electrical and
heat conduction through the surface and allow metals to be joined by soldering.

names should be given in as complete form as possible: surnames (last names), initials and first
names. The complete mailing address (including the full name of the University or company, city,
postal code) of the place where the work was done should follow the title and authors’ names.
o Hydrolysis explains why basic salts such as basic zinc acetate and basic zinc carbonate,
Zn3(OH)4(CO3).H2O are easy to obtain. The reason for the hydrolysis is the high electrical charge
density on the zinc ion, which pulls electrons away from an OH bond of a coordinated water
molecule and releases a hydrogen ion. The polarizing effect of Zn 2+ is part of the reason why zinc is
found in enzymes such as carbonic anhydrase.
o Robert Boyle was a devout Christian who contributed much to the study of chemistry and is
considered by many as the "father of modern chemistry". During the time when alchemy was very
popular he made great advances in chemistry, and praised God for every discovery he made. Some
of his major contributions were:
He made a vacuum pump which he used to prove that air was important to transmit sound.
He made the formulation of his gas law (called Boyle's law) which says that if the temperature is
constant, pressure is inversely proportional to volume. (That means: as pressure increases,
volume of a gas decreases and vice-versa.)
He changed the way the modern world thought about chemical elements (i.e that they are the
smallest part of a substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances).
He created the scientific method which became widely applied.
He helped others understand the way in which compounds and mixtures differ.

15. Stock market's rigged. The United States stock market, the most iconic market in global
capitalism is rigged. All is being done by computers. It's too fast to be done by humans.
Humans have been completely removed from the marketplace. "Fast" is the operative
word. Machines with secret programs are now trading stocks in tiny fractions of a
second, way too fast to be seen or recorded on a stock ticker or computer screen.
Faster than the market itself. High-frequency traders, big Wall Street firms and stock

their customers, just to get a peek at stock market prices and orders a flash before
everyone else, along with the opportunity to act on it.
16. Based on experience gained over the past half century in developing artificial
programming languages, the common wisdom has been that human-oriented and
machine-oriented languages are necessarily mutually exclusive in terms of their

much too difficult to be processed by computers, while (programming) languages,
which are easily “understood” by computers, require much training and effort to be
deciphered by humans. The underlying assumption has been that the syntax of human-

18. Predicting the future will always be difficult, but the world will probably soon face a
number of major environment/resource challenges, including global climate change and
oil depletion. Accommodating the consumption aspirations of industrialising countries,
particularly fast-growing Asian economies such as China and India, in a world of finite
resources and pollution absorption capacity, will increase our difficulties. If serious, these
challenges promise a sharp break with trends of the past half-century for both production
and consumption. Both Industrial Engineering practice and education will need to
change due to a number of reasons. First, both oil depletion and climate change are
serious and global problems. Second, technical fixes alone will not solve these
problems, given the environmental problems of even ‘clean’ industrial systems. Third, it
follows that industrial engineering teaching/practice will need to change, the extent of
change depending greatly on both how serious the problems are, and the degree to
which further technology can overcome them.

20. With the evolving needs of today’s manufacturing industries in the area of product
development, 3D CAD model has become very important. Often in many situations there
is a need to remanufacture a physical part where the CAD data is not available with the
manufacturer or is lost because of several reasons. In such cases reverse engineering
is found to be an effective and efficient tool. Reverse engineering is an approach where
the physical parts are digitized in order to obtain a virtual model. Digitization can be done
either manually or it can be fully automatized for better and faster scans. The virtual
models so obtained are helpful in many applications, nevertheless they are often used
for redesign operations.
As you work on your exam, focus only on the exam and not on what other students are doing. There will
always be students in the same exam room as you whose aim is to annoy and distract others and not to
concentrate on the exam they barely started.
If you are the kind of students who tap their pencils, click their pens or make sounds with their mouths
due to exam anxiety, be considerate as it may be really distracting to others. Don't do to others what
you wouldn't want to be done to yourself.
9. Start strategically
Begin your exam by skimming through the questions quickly and note down any initial thoughts or
related memorised facts beside each question. You don't always have to start at the beginning if you
know another question better. Start with the questions you know best. This will boost your confidence
and get you off to a good start.
Don't forget to spend more time on heavier weighted questions.
After the exam
Finally, it's over! You've worked hard and done your best and now it's time to put the exam out of your
mind entirely. Remember - the things that you do after an exam are just as important for dealing with
stress as the things you do before and during.
10. Spoil yourself
Reward yourself as soon as the exam is over. If you do not have any other commitments, go out and do
something like watching a movie with a friend. If you have other exams to study for, it's better to
postpone for a larger treat. Nevertheless, thirty minutes for a coffee with a friend or a quick swim in the
pool will definitely give you the boost needed for the next exam.
Good luck!
So there you have it. Some basic ways that you can make exam time a little bit easier.
These reliable and personally road-tested tips are essential for any student wanting to cope with exam
stress and ensure exam success.
Good luck!
Revising for exams - why cramming the night before rarely works
October 27, 2016 3.11pm EDT - http://theconversation.com/revising-for-exams-why-cramming-the-night-before-rarely-works-67459
The date for an important exam is looming. You know you have to study for it. Suddenly, it’s the evening
before the dreaded date, and you feel like you haven’t studied enough, if at all. It’s time to cram all the
information you can into your brain.
We know that to do well in exams, you have to remember your material to then demonstrate your
knowledge during the test. But is an intense night of study an effective way of learning?
Learning information that can then be recalled in an often stressful environment is taxing on the brain.
In a high pressure situation our brains can easily perform sub-optimally.
How to remember information in the long term
In cognitive psychology, a discrimination can be drawn between deep and shallow processing of
information. This is known as the Levels of Processing theory which was proposed by researchers in the
1970’s. They argued that “deep processing” led to better long-term memory than “shallow processing”.
Shallow processed information can be encoded by the brain based on the simple characteristics of the
words, rather than the meaning. So the knowledge is only able to be stored in short-term memory
stores, where it is only retained for a short period.
INGENIERÍA INDUSTRIAL - INGLES TÉCNICO II– Año 2016 – MBA Adriana Deza 27
To process information deeply, the meaning and importance of the information is encoded. Relations
between concepts are linked together in an elaborate manner, so more understanding of the
information is able to be demonstrated. Due to the more meaningful analysis of the material, stronger
and more long lasting memories can be formed.
Taking the time to elaborate and assign meaning to information allows easier recall. However, this
process takes time, and when an entire subject needs to be crammed into your memory in a short
period of time, deep processing can’t be performed. So cramming can work for a short-term recall of
the information, but this information will rapidly be lost.
Re-reading notes is not enough
Re-reading through notes is often not enough to cement
information into your memory.
Spider diagrams or mind maps have been found to be more
effective than conventional note taking for the retention of
memory.
A way of encoding information more deeply is to
write diagrammatic notes. Spider diagrams, mind maps and
concept maps are visual stimuli and are more easily
remembered than a list of points or blocks of text.
Condensing information down into single word cues can then
efficiently trigger the recall of large amounts of information.
Hand writing revision notes can also help you learn information more deeply and helps you to get into
the practice of writing rapidly in an exam setting. Typing on a computer can also increase distraction, as
the temptation to procrastinate can increase.
A lack of sleep can affect your performance
Sleep is essential in forming enduring memories. Last minute revision is synonymous with a poor night’s
sleep, if any sleep at all. The dilemma presented is that you can either stay up and study to commit as
much information to memory as possible, or forfeit a night’s sleep.
Sleep, however, is essential in forming enduring memories – and a lack of sleep is shown to be self
defeating in terms of memory recall.
Scientists still do not fully understand why sleep is so important for brain function, but it is known that
sleep is important in the consolidation of memory. This is the process of forming an enduring memory
from short-term stores into long-term memory. Your brain goes through different stages of sleep. The
deepest stage of sleep is known as Slow Wave Sleep and this period is proposed to be vital in the
consolidation of memories. The hippocampus is essential in the consolidation of memories, in particular
in forming episodic memories, which requires linking the features of a memory together.
Studies have revealed in mice that the neurons in the hippocampus activated during learning a maze
became active again during Slow Wave Sleep. The reactivation of neurons is proposed to strengthen the
new connections. So a good night’s sleep after learning new information is essential to forming
memories. It’s beneficial to get sleep rather than staying awake and going into an exam without rest.
Procrastination can pile on the pressure
Sometimes anything else can be more appealing than revising for exams. Despite the deadline of exams
to study for, mundane tasks suddenly become more appealing, like rearranging a bookshelf, or cleaning
your desk, instead of revising for an exam. The tasks we can occupy ourselves with when procrastinating
are typically immediately rewarding but only have a short-term value. The more important task of
studying can lead to a bigger reward - passing the exam, however this reward is not immediate.

Humans tend to be motivated for small, immediate rewards. The value of passing a test certainly
outweighs smaller, immediate rewards like playing video games; when the deadline approaches, the
importance shifts. This usually leads to a long night of study before the exam.
It has been suggested procrastinators may be a certain personality type, in particular people who are
thrill seekers. Leaving an important task until the last minute increases adrenalin and stress hormones,
and you can get a rewarding “rush” once it’s complete. This reinforces the idea that such people prefer
working under pressure.
Familiar environment can prompt memory
Even if you arrive at the exam the morning after a long night of study, feeling sleep deprived and as if
you haven’t learnt enough, all may not be lost.
Being in the exam hall at school, college or university can help you recall information. The familiar
environment can increase performance as the stimuli around you can prompt memory.
For example, a science exam being taken in a science classroom can cue memories, these cues aren’t
present in a strange environment such as taking an exam in a course hall.
This is known as the environmental reinstatement effect, which occurs because the location you are in
can act as a prompt for past memories.
Environmental cues can trigger memory recall, so something as simple as having your pencil case on
your desk while studying and again during the exam could assist in prompting memories.
Tips for remembering information
Hand write out your notes instead of typing
Get a good night’s sleep before an exam
Write a plan and start early
