Production engineering is the convoluted design and cautious planning that goes into creating a product. Production engineering is a process subsuming everything from the initial usage of raw materials to the finished goods made available to consumers.
Production engineers prime responsibility is to make the process of manufacturing accomplish without any obstacles. Production engineering encompasses the application of castings, machining processing, joining processes, metal cutting & tool design, metrology, machine tools, machining systems, automation, jigs and fixtures, die and mould design, material science, designing of automobile

Production engineering is the convoluted design and cautious planning that goes into creating a product. Production engineering is a process subsuming everything from the initial usage of raw materials to the finished goods made available to consumers.
Production engineers prime responsibility is to make the process of manufacturing accomplish without any obstacles. Production engineering encompasses the application of castings, machining processing, joining processes, metal cutting & tool design, metrology, machine tools, machining systems, automation, jigs and fixtures, die and mould design, material science, designing of automobile parts and machine designing and manufacturing.
Scope:
The scope of production engineering is much more than you can think. Usually, in multinational companies, a production engineer controls a manufacturing department, etc. That means mechanical engineers come under a production engineer. Please don't misunderstand that a mechanical engineer is below a production engineer. It is just that a production engineer with high grade pay always comes top(in the management area).
A few fields where production engineer gets placed are:
Automobile companies- For inspection, quality control, the operation of automated equipment, etc.
Manufacturing industries- For inspection, quality control, operation of automated equipment, to control assembly line, production management, etc.
Food processing industries-For inspection, quality control, Production management, etc.
Railways- Manufacturing processes and its control, etc.
Process industries.
Space and other research organizations.
Government and private companies.
Defense.
IT companies.
I will mention a few companies who require production engineer:
NALCO
SAIL
TATA STEEL
TCIL
TATA MOTORS
VOLVO
SYNTHITE
ONGC
FACT
ISRO
AIRFORCE (TECHNICAL ENGINEER)
HAL
