Abstract

While Namibia is a Republic with just over two thirds the geographical area of South Africa, its population is only 2.3 million (under 5 percent of that in South Africa). Its estimated production (measured by GDP) is $ 9.4billion (US) as compared with $ 287billion (US) for South Africa (just over 3 percent) making it less wealthy per person than South Africa. As a small economy in Southern Africa many people may say that Industrial Engineering in Namibia does not exist. They are incorrect as Industrial Engineers do
