About this title

Synopsis

A major revision of a classic reference for the industrial engineers, with 90 percent new material (no surprise there the third edition was published in the technological Dark Ages of 1971). Under the direction of editor Hodson, some 100 specialists in the field contribute material on their areas of expertise. As in the earlier editions, they provide detailed discussions of the methods, materials, and systems of industrial engineering, dealing with such aspects as work measurement, methods improvement, the planning and control of manufacturing systems, facilities, and material flow. In addition, they report on the many developments and advances of recent years, in particular a wide range of technologically sound, cost efficient breakthroughs. Case studies and real-life examples illustrate the applications of the different concepts and techniques involved. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
