Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering (SAIIE)

As the name implies, the field of Industrial Engineering deals with the engineering of industrial or industrious undertakings. Modern Industrial Engineering is concerned with the integration of resources and processes into cohesive strategies, structures and systems for the effective and efficient production of quality goods and services.

It draws upon specialised knowledge and skills in the mathematical, physical, behavioural, economic and management sciences and fuses them with the principles and methods of engineering analyses and design to find optimal and practical solutions, which contribute to the success and prosperity of an industrial undertaking, thereby making a fundamental contribution to the creation of wealth.

SAIIE is a voluntary association recognised by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) and our vision is to be a vibrant, learned society, representing and promoting all Industrial Engineering professionals in Southern Africa.

Event Details

Join us at the 35th SAIIE Conference scheduled from 20 - 22 October 2025 at the Lagoon Beach Hotel, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa with an Industry Tour Day scheduled on 23 October 2025.


From the beach sand churned by ocean waves to thunder reverberating through the air, waves are everywhere. The next time you settle down to watch TV, spare a thought for the countless waves that make it all possible โ€“ the light waves captured by the camera lens, the analogue signals recorded, the radio waves carrying it to your antenna or dish, and finally the light and sound waves projected from your screen, connecting your brain waves with those of the creators behind the show.


Waves have power. They disturb, influence, and bring about change. To "make waves" is to challenge the norm and leave an impact.

And that's exactly what we believe Industrials do. We make waves. We rock the boat, apply pressure, and expose the hidden icebergs and sandbanks lurking beneath the surface. Change-makers at heart โ€“ that's who we are.


We invite you to SAIIE35 to showcase the waves you're making, whether they're monstrous tsunamis or gentle ripples. From innovations that streamline operations to insights that revolutionise industries, every wave matters. Let's gather to inspire, challenge, and amplify the impact of the Industrials together. See you there โ€“ let's make waves!
