Abstract
In the recent decades, amount of researches in the field of industrial engineering grew increasingly which makes hard to find a new area in this field. Indeed it needs extensive searches on the many published papers related to the field. One the goal of review papers is to identify research trends and to introduce them to the researchers. So far, review papers published in the research fields of industrial engineering are focused on a specific area and there are a few articles with wider view to the scope (industrial engineering field). Related works are surveyed some specific journals, hence, in this paper using search through resources and scientific databases, research trends in the Industrial Engineering in the recent years (2012 to 2015 January) are determined. For better classification of the researches, two general classes of scientific researchers are considered. Finally, based on this classification, research trends in Industrial engineering are surveyed and analyzed.
