Features: Industrial engineering is a crucial means for driving comprehensive transformation of production systems and achieving a shift in economic growth from an extensive to an intensive model. It is a highly applied, interdisciplinary marginal discipline that is one of the fastest-developing and most talent-scarce fields. Industrial engineers have become a respected profession. This manual is divided into 12 chapters, covering topics such as an overview of industrial engineering, enterprise and productivity, work study, human factors engineering, facility planning and logistics, production and operations management, advanced manufacturing technology, quality management, engineering economics, marketing, computer technology and applications, and operations research and systems engineering. The content encompasses the relevant knowledge of industrial engineering. This manual can serve as a reference for industrial engineering faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, as well as consultants, engineering technicians, managers, foreign-invested enterprise supervisors, private enterprise supervisors, leaders of enterprises and institutions, and government officials responsible for economic affairs.
