Providing a broad introduction to industrial and systems engineering, this book defines industrial and systems
engineering, describes it place in the business world, and offers a wide picture of the functional areas with some
solution techniques.
Divided into three parts, the reference explains the role industrial and systems engineering play in an organization
and how to manage and control the function
Covers elementary systems theory and feedback
Presents a typical problem for each of the major methodologies of industrial and systems engineering and provides
the tools and techniques for effectively solving it
Discusses computerization of these techniques
Emphasizes the relationship of industrial engineering to such areas as operations research and ergonomics
Explores integrated systems design, showing how the I.E. must bring together all the detailed pieces into an
integrated system
Adds coverage of simulation
Updates data where applicable
