Information Systems for Industrial Engineering (Paperback)

Paperback. A Concepts-to-Design ApproachInformation Systems for Industrial Engineering is a structured and practice-oriented textbook designed to help Industrial Engineering students, educators, and practitioners understand how information systems support modern organizational operations, decision-making, and process improvement-especially within the Philippine industrial context.Unlike books that focus only on technology, this text presents information systems as socio-technical systems that integrate people, processes, data, and technology. It emphasizes systems thinking and structured analysis, enabling learners to examine organizational problems methodically and design effective information-based solutions.The book follows a concepts-to-design progression, guiding readers from foundational theories to applied system modeling and project development. Each chapter links information systems principles directly to Industrial Engineering functions such as operations management, production planning, logistics, quality management, and productivity analysis.What's Inside the Book? Part I - Foundations of Information SystemsIntroduces core concepts of information systems, including the distinction between IS and IT, system attributes, data-information-knowledge relationships, organizational system types (TPS, MIS, DSS), and systems frameworks relevant to Industrial Engineering practice.Part II - Systems Life Cycle and MethodologiesExplains the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC), feasibility analysis, requirements determination, logical versus physical design, and major system development methodologies. Philippine-based manufacturing, SME, and LGU scenarios illustrate real-world application.Part III - Structured Analysis for Industrial EngineersProvides detailed coverage of structured analysis philosophy and tools, including context diagrams, Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs), data dictionaries, process specifications, decision tables, and decision trees. Emphasis is placed on process clarity, documentation discipline, and information flow analysis.Part IV - Applied Project and IntegrationGuides students through project proposal development, system modeling, presentation, and evaluation. This section strengthens analytical, documentation, and communication skills essential for academic projects and professional practice.Key FeaturesClear concepts-to-design learning structureStrong alignment with Industrial Engineering principlesStep-by-step system modeling techniquesPhilippine-context case studies and examplesPractical exercises and project-based learningIdeal for classroom use, self-study, and system analysis projectsIdeal ForIndustrial Engineering studentsIS and Systems Analysis instructorsPracticing Industrial EngineersResearchers and project developersThis book equips future Industrial Engineers with the analytical foundation and practical tools needed to design, evaluate, and improve information systems that support efficient, data-driven, and sustainable organizational performance.
