This book covers the important elements of industrial engineering that all engineers need to know in order to become effective in their day-to-day activities. It explores basic topics such as scheduling, quality control, forecasting, and queueing theory; other topics include paving a path to production control, engineering and its management, and the operational aspects of manufacturing and service industries. The reader will learn to apply these principles and tools, not only to initiate improvements in their places of work, but also to pave career path to management and positions with higher levels of responsibility and decision-making.

A greater emphasis on scheduling and sequencing of operations and quality control, two of the most important industrial engineering topics. End-of-chapter problems, where applicable, will include cases from various engineering disciplines and tailored to the field, such as manufacturing and chemical process plants.
