Editorial Reviews

Defines industrial and systems engineering, describes its place in the business world, and gives a broad picture of the functional areas with some solution techniques. While not a detailed text for the individual techniques presented, it does show what an industrial and systems engineer is capable of doing in a variety of organizations. Problems are described, then the techniques applicable are discussed. The book is divided into three parts: history and perspective, methodologies, and integrated system design. Chapters include discussion questions. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
