Industrial Engineering and Management

Industrial engineering specifically focuses on improving quality and productivity. It utilizes a combination of disciplines such as system engineering, manufacturing engineering, operations research, management science and safety engineering to design and optimize complex systems and processes. This branch of engineering tries to reduce or eliminate unproductive processes. Conventionally industrial engineering was used to set up machines and assembly lines for factories and manufacturing units, but now along with setting up a manufacturing unit it also helps in streamlining the procedures. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to this field. Those with an interest in the area of industrial engineering would find this book helpful. This book consists of contributions made by international experts which unravel the recent studies and futuristic aspects of industrial engineering.
