Badiru, this reference gathers 56 chapters by many contributors. Twenty of the chapters are newly written, and eleven earlier ones have been revised. It opens with Badiru's general introduction on how industrial engineering grew out of the Industrial Revolution. It then sets out the fundamentals of industrial engineering, with chapters on operational efficiency, performance measurement for services, and cluster analysis. The fundamentals of systems engineering follow, including human systems integration. Further parts treat manufacturing and production systems, human factors and ergonomics, and economic and financial analysis, which covers cost estimation, engineering economy, and real options in defense software acquisition. Other parts deal with project management, information engineering and decision making; safety, reliability, and quality; and operations research, queuing, logistics, and scheduling. Two appendices give conversion factors and engineering, systems, and statistical formulas.…

A new edition of a bestselling industrial and systems engineering reference, Handbook of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Second Edition provides students, researchers, and practitioners with easy access to a wide range of industrial engineering tools and techniques in a concise format. This edition expands the breadth and depth of coverage, emphasizing new systems engineering tools, techniques, and models.
See What’s New in the Second Edition:
- Section covering safety, reliability, and quality
- Section on operations research, queuing, logistics, and scheduling
- Expanded appendix to include conversion factors and engineering, systems, and statistical formulae
- Topics such as control charts, engineering economy, health operational efficiency, healthcare systems, human systems integration, Lean systems, logistics transportation, manufacturing systems, material handling systems, process view of work, and Six Sigma techniques
The premise of the handbook remains: to expand the breadth and depth of coverage beyond the traditional handbooks on industrial engineering. The book begins with a general introduction with specific reference to the origin of industrial engineering and the ties to the Industrial Revolution. It covers the fundamentals of industrial engineering and the fundamentals of systems engineering. Building on this foundation, it presents chapters on manufacturing, production systems, and ergonomics, then goes on to discuss economic and financial analysis, management, information engineering, and decision making. Two new sections examine safety, reliability, quality, operations research, queuing, logistics, and scheduling.
The book provides an updated collation of the body of knowledge of industrial and systems engineering. The handbook has been substantively expanded from the 36 seminal chapters in the first edition to 56 landmark chapters in the second edition. In addition to the 20 new chapters, 11 of the chapters in the first edition have been updated with new materials. Filling the gap that exists between the traditional and modern practice of industrial and systems engineering, the handbook provides a one-stop resource for teaching, research, and practice.
