Book Description
Explore the latest IE issues and challenges
Brought fully up to date by expert Kjell Zandin, Maynard's
Industrial Engineering Handbook, Fifth Edition puts exhaustive
application-driven coverage of industry principles and practices,
materials and systems, at your fingertips. Covering everything
from work measurement and material flow, to facilities and quality
control, this unparalleled reference is nothing less than the most
in-depth, hands-on IE reference available. Designed for industrial
engineers who are challenged to do more, in more arenas, this new
edition introduces you to both traditional and the latest, most
efficient, and cost-effective IE methods and technologies. In 133
solution-packed chapters 90 percent completely new from 176 expert
contributors worldwide, you can explore the Kazien approach to
methods engineering, design for assembly, statistical quality
control, lean manufacturing, agile production, demand flow
technology, and much, much more. You'll be brought up to speed on
breakthroughs in information technology, computer simulation,
sensors and controls, economic analyses, robotics, planning,
management, organization, and more. 24 case studies illuminate
real-life applications, from company turnarounds using IE
techniques to neural network applications and implementing a
paperless warehouse management system.
Synopsis
A practial working guide to the principles, methods, materials and
systems of industrial engineering. It covers topics from work
measurement to material flow, facilities to quality control. This
edition also looks at group technology, service engineering and
economic risk analysis.
