Responding to the demand for a comprehensive handbook, the Handbook of Industrial and Systems Engineering offers full access to a wide range of industrial and systems engineering tools and techniques in a concise format. Providing state-of-the-art coverage from more than 40 contributing authors, many of whom are "rising stars" in this area, this volume emphasizes systems engineering aspects and expands beyond the topics found in the existing references in this field. The handbook is a one-stop reference for industrial and systems engineering. It introduces new technologies, offers a systems integration approach, and provides coverage of information engineering.
