Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

"The advent of the computer in control of machine tools, and the revolution which it has produced in systems analysis and organization have greatly extended the frontiers of industrial engineering and have provided a number of exciting and powerful developments, all of which are purposefully examined in the book. "The Handbook well illustrates the increasingly valuable academic input to the interconnected fields of industrial engineering." --Lord Tombs of Brailes Chairman of Rolls-Royce PLC (from the Foreword) "This Second Edition of the Handbook of Industrial Engineering comes at an opportune time. It incorporates new knowledge and experience in a rapidly changing core discipline that is vital for a wide range of managers and engineers in both manufacturing and service industries and in educational institutions and government." --Ruben F. Mettler Retired Chairman and CEO TRW, Inc. (from the Foreword) "The Second Edition of the Handbook of Industrial Engineering will serve as an extremely powerful tool for industrial engineers and managers. "Described here are recently developed techniques and concepts such as simulation, CIM, flexible manufacturing systems...Moreover, the appropriate techniques required in each field are described and clearly illustrated with examples by specialists in those fields. Readers will be able to learn widely from the basic theory to practical application to leading-edge techniques." --Tadahiro Sekimoto President, NEC Corporation (from the Foreword) "It has been a privilege for the Institute of Industrial Engineers to participate with John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Dr. Gavriel Salvendy,and the nearly 200 professionals to help create this compendium of leading-edge throught on industrial engineering. There is no doubt that the Second Edition of the Handbook of Industrial Engineering will be an absolute requirement in the tool bag of tomorrow's industrial engineer." --Gregory Balestrero Executive Director Institute of Industrial Engineers (from the Foreword) Of related interest... Edited by Gavriel Salvendy (0 471-88015-9) 1,904 pp. 12 Chapters with 104 Contributors "The publication of the Handbook of Human Factors is therefore particularly timely. Regardless of what phase of the economy a person is involved in, this handbook is a very useful tool. Every area of human factors from environmental conditions and motivation to the use of new communications systems, robotics, and business systems is well covered in the handbook by experts in every field." --E. M. Estes Retired President General Motors Corporation (from the Foreword)

CHOICE Review

The updated second edition of this valuable source reflects the changes that industrial engineering is undergoing to keep pace with the competitive world and with ever-changing technology. Some 163 professionals shared their expertise to create this handbook which incorporates new ideas on how to increase productivity and enhance the quality of work. The chapters of the original handbook (CH, Oct'82) were revised and rewritten and additional chapters were added to incorporate the advances in such areas as information technology and computer-integrated business. The publisher claims 70% new material. Unlike the first edition, which was classified in 14 sections, this edition of 108 chapters is classified in 4 major areas: technology; human dimensions; planning, design, and control of operations; and quantitative methods for decision-making. Scanning the index makes one aware of the obvious wealth of information condensed in this one volume and its value to anyone in management. Enhanced by extensive bibliographies, numerous references, good organization, and clear diagrams, this handbook will be valuable to engineering professionals and to academic libraries serving advanced undergraduate and graduate students and engineering educators.-D.
