I would say that you are correct that many applicants from your pool are IT background, so having a manufacturing or industrial engineering background could help differentiate you. Schools all want to diversfy their incoming classes, so you should definitely play up the things you have experienced and achieved professionally which are out of the ordinary, especially contrasting them with things like finance or IT.

hi sam11owen
i am also a production engineer from india ,currently working in the automobile industry. I will be applying for fall 2012 . Did u get any more information regarding what US b schools will be more suitable for industrial engineering background people. Can this background mitigate the effect of a low GMAT score which in my case is 640 QA 47 VA 30 AWA 5/6
