Industrial Engineering And Management

For close to 20 years, “Industrial Engineering and Production Management” has been a successful text for students of Mechanical, Production and Industrial Engineering while also being equally helpful for students of other courses including Management. Divided in 5 parts and 52 chapters, the text combines theory with examples to provide in-depth coverage of the subject.

Industrial Engineering: Management, Tools, and Applications, Three Volume Set provides innovation applications and case studies that are drawn from multiple countries. The chapters in the books represent the best papers from the International Institute of Industrial Engineering (IIIE) Conference held in Istanbul in June 2013, sponsored by the II

The book "Industrial Engineering and Management" covers the syllabus of the subjects Industrial Engineering, Industrial Management, Production Planning and Control, Production Management, Engineering Economics and Costing, Industrial Organization, Principles of Management prescribed by different Indian Universities. The book is also useful for the students of management courses, section B of AIME, and U.P.S.C Engineering Services Examination. Efforts have been made to present the subject-matter in concise, compact and simple language. The theoretical concepts have been supported by large number of numerical illustrations to provide clarity.

This second edition details all productivity and quality methodologies, principles and techniques, and demonstrates how they interact in the three phases of the productivity and quality management triangle (PQMT): measurement, control and evaluation; planning and analysis; and improvement and monitoring. This edition features material on practical strategies for implementing quality programmes, balancing productivity and quality results , resolving quality problems and empowering employees.

This book describes the latest research developments in modeling and simulation in industrial engineering. Topics such as decision and performance analysis and industrial control systems are described. Case studies in industry and services as well as engineering economy and cost estimation are also covered.

Increasing costs and higher utilization of resources make the role of process improvement more important than ever in the health care industry. Management Engineering: A Guide to Best Practices for Industrial Engineering in Health Care provides an overview of the practice of industrial engineering (management engineering) in the health care industr

This book covers design of experiments (DoE) applied in production engineering as a combination of manufacturing technology with applied management science. It presents recent research advances and applications of design experiments in production engineering and the chapters cover metal cutting tools, soft computing for modelling and optmization of machining, waterjet machining of high performance ceramics, among others.

The book is primarily intended as a text for all branches of B.Tech, M.Tech and MBA courses. Beginning with an introduction to industrial engineering, it discusses contributions and thoughts of classical (Taylor, Fayol, and Weber’s), neo-classical (Hawthorne) and modern thinkers. The book explains different functions of management, and differentiate between management and administration. Various types of business organisations with their structures and personnel management also find place in the book. Topics related to facilities location, material handling, work study, job evaluation and merit rating, wages and incentives that are of prime importance in any business are discussed. The book is aimed at providing a better understanding of industrial operations with practical approach. Financial aspects related to business operations such as financial management, management accounting, breakeven analysis, depreciation and replacement policies for equipment assume prime importance. Numerical examples have been solved at appropriate places to create interest in readers. Marketing aspects of business as marketing management, new product development and sales forecasting methods are discussed, besides management and control of operations. For maintaining industrial peace, good relationship between employers and employees is essential. Chapters on industrial relations, industrial safety and industrial legislations are introduced with the objective of providing readers with information on these important aspects. Good decision-making is what differentiates a good manager from a bad one. Thus, a chapter on decision-making is added to examine its skill. Network constructions, CPM, PERT have been covered under project management. Quantitative techniques for decision-making as linear programming, transportation problems, assignment problems, game theory, queuing theory, etc., are also discussed in this textbook. KEY FEATURES • Lucid presentation of the concepts. • Illustrative figures and tables make the reading more fruitful and enriching. • Numerical problems with solutions form an integral part of the book, making it application-oriented. • Chapter-end review questions test the students’ knowledge of the fundamental concepts.
