Project Life Cycle in Industrial Engineering
All projects can be mapped to a generic life cycle structure. A project life cycle is a sequence of steps through from the beginning to the end, they are sequential and, generally in industrial engineering, there are 4 four main phases which are: Initiation, Planning, Execution and Closure. The phases can be broken down by intermediate milestones, specific results or deliverables. The life cycle provides the basic framework for managing the project, regardless of the specific work involved, it is independent from the product life cycle produced by or modified by the project.[1]

Big idea
This structure of life cycle [2] is often used in industrial engineering, because there is a communication with upper management or other entities less familiar with the details of the projects.
Initiation: Starting the project
Planning: Organizing and preparing
Execution: Carrying out the work
Closure: Closing the project
