The branch of engineering which is concerned with the optimization of complex systems, organizations and processes is referred to as industrial engineering. This is achieved through improving, developing and implementing the integrated systems of people, information, money, knowledge, energy and materials. Industrial engineering overlaps with various other areas of engineering such as manufacturing engineering, operations engineering, ergonomics, safety engineering, systems engineering, etc. The aim of this field is to specify, predict and evaluate results achieved through industrial processes and systems. Some of the significant areas within this field are production engineering, human factors and safety engineering, etc. This book attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the discipline of industrial engineering and how such concepts have practical applications. Most of the topics introduced herein cover new techniques and the applications of this discipline. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels.
