A Firsthand Look at the Role of the Industrial Engineer
The industrial engineer helps decide how best to utilize an organization’s resources to achieve company goals and objectives. Introduction to Industrial Engineering, Second Edition offers an in-depth analysis of the industrial engineering profession. While also providing a historical perspective chronicling the development of the profession, this book describes the standard duties performed, the tools and terminologies used, and the required methods and processes needed to complete the tasks at hand. It also defines the industrial engineer’s main areas of operation, introduces the topic of information systems, and discusses their importance in the work of the industrial engineer.
The authors explain the information system concept, and the need for integrated processes, supported by modern information systems. They also discuss classical organizational structures (functional organization, project organization, and matrix organization), along with the advantages and disadvantages of their use. The book includes the technological aspects (data collection technologies, databases, and decision-support areas of information systems), the logical aspects (forecasting models and their use), and aspects of principles taken from psychology, sociology, and ergonomics that are commonly used in the industry.
What’s New in this Edition:

Introduction to Industrial Engineering, Second Edition establishes industrial engineering as the organization of people and resources, describes the development and nature of the profession, and is easily accessible to anyone needing to learn the basics of industrial engineering.

"The authors have assembled a comprehensive introduction of industrial engineering with the inclusion of both traditional and emergent areas. Other books tend to give a shotgun view, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the field, and provides an excellent starting point for anyone new to the field."
―David A. Nembhard, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA
"... an excellent introduction to the history, profession, processes and practice of industrial engineering... The depth is relevant for a single introductory course in industrial engineering for engineers or as a supplement to a full industrial engineering curriculum..."
