Introduction: Hello, I’m Marco Zapien, and I’m delighted to welcome you to my corner of the web. With a background in both economics and industrial engineering, I’ve developed a keen interest in the intricate dance of efficiency within businesses. My journey has taken me through diverse landscapes—I’ve been a part of Cofece, the economic regulator, worked on farms, dabbled in the realm of plastics, navigated the intricacies of a construction company’s QMS system, and found joy in the role of an English teacher.

Mission: My mission is to bridge the worlds of industrial engineering and economics, as I believe they share a common thread in the optimal utilization of resources. This blog is a space where I bring these two disciplines together, offering insights, perspectives, and discoveries.

Approach: Expect practical tips, grounded in general principles and, at times, a touch of philosophy. I aim to make the complexities of industrial engineering and economics accessible and applicable to a broader audience.

My interests: Beyond the professional sphere, I find joy in the intricate moves of a chessboard and the comedic brilliance of “The Office” TV show. I’m also passionate about maintaining a healthy lifestyle through regular workouts. On a personal note, I navigate life with Asperger’s Syndrome, which adds a unique perspective to my experiences and interactions.

I invite you to explore the blend of practicality, philosophy, and a touch of personal flair in the realm where Industrial Engineering meets Economics. Let’s embark on this journey together!
