Preface
Industrial engineering is the branch of engineering that is concerned with “increasing productivity through the management of people, methods of business organization and technology” or in other words, “industrial engineering is human effort engineering and system efficiency engineering”. Depending on the subspecialties involved, industrial engineering include operations management, management science, systems engineering, manufacturing engineering, ergonomics or human factors engineering, safety engineering, etc. The purpose of this book is to present a collection of examples illustrating research advances in industrial engineering. Chapter 1 of the book provides lean manufacturing (recent trends, research and development and education perspectives). Chapter 2 is dedicated to a case study on lean product and process development. Chapter 3 contains information on lean product development enablers for product development process improvement. Chapter 4 is dedicated to discussing and evaluating the green environmental performance of manufacturers. Chapter 5 contains information on simulation study. Chapters 6 and 7 are
