Industrial Engineering Non-Traditional Applications in InternationalSettings by Bopaya Bidanda and Ihsan Sabuncuoglu
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1482226871 | 214 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Industrial engineering originated in the UnitedStates, and although the popularity of this discipline has grown worldwide,there is still little information available outside of the US regarding itspractical use and application.
Industrial Engineering Non-TraditionalApplications in International Settings raises the bar and examines industrialengineering from a global perspective. Representing the best papers from theInternational Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIIE) conference held inIstanbul in June 2013, and developed by contributors from at least sixdifferent countries, this material lends their expertise on the internationalimpact of industrial engineering applications and provides a thoroughunderstanding of the subject.
Focusing on two key aspects of the industrialengineering (IE) discipline, non-traditional settings and internationalenvironments, the book introduces applications and incorporates case studiesillustrating how IE-based tools and techniques have been applied to diverse environmentsaround the world. Each chapter represents a novel application of industrialtools and techniques. In addition, the authors highlight some of the moreexciting developments and implementations of industrial engineering. The bookenables both students and practitioners to learn from universal best practicesand observe the international growth of the discipline.
Consisting of ten chapters, this groundbreakingwork includes content that:
• Presents applications in the area of naturalresource development, or more specifically open-pit mining, to optimize theextraction sequence of blocks—an operation that can have a major impact onmining profitability
• Studies disasters and details where to bestlocate sites for disaster waste procession (multiobjective optimization is usedto identify site locations and provide solution guidance)
• Examines factors affecting buying patterns andbehaviors at private shopping clubs (Turkey is used as a benchmark and atechnology acceptance model is used to study the buying behavior)
• Explores optimization methods that can be usedto increase the effectiveness of the timing of traffic signals
• Discusses the Turkish banking sector and themeasurement of efficiency of its banks (a topic that greatly impacts theemerging financial market)
• Applies quantitative models to study 29commercial banks and 12 investment banks
Industrial Engineering Non-TraditionalApplications in International Settings explores the globalization of thisexpanding discipline and serves as a guide to industry professionals includingsystems, industrials, manufacturing engineers, design, production,environmental, and Lean Six Sigma engineers, and is also relevant to appliedergonomics, business scm, business logistics, and business operations manage
