Introduction to Industrial Engineering

Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering dedicated to optimizing complex systems, organizations, and processes. It accomplishes this by enhancing, developing, and implementing integrated systems encompassing people, information, finances, energy, materials, and knowledge. Industrial engineering intersects with diverse engineering domains including operations engineering, systems engineering, manufacturing engineering, safety engineering, and ergonomics. The objective of industrial engineering is to define, forecast, and assess outcomes derived from industrial processes and systems. Key areas within this field include production engineering, human factors, safety engineering and many others. The topics included in this book on industrial engineering are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It includes topics that deal with the basic to the most complex concepts and approaches of this area. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and facilitate the growth of the discipline.
