by Wayne C. Turner, Joe H. Mize, Kenneth E. Case

Providing a broad introduction to industrial and systems engineering, this book defines industrial and systems engineering, describes it place in the business world, and offers a wide picture of the functional areas with some solution techniques. Divided into three parts, the reference explains the role industrial and systems engineering play in an organization and how to manage and control the function ... covers elementary systems theory and feedback ... presents a typical problem for each of the major methodologies of industrial and systems engineering and provides the tools and techniques for effectively solving it ... discusses computerization of these techniques ... emphasizes the relationship of industrial engineering to such areas as operations research and ergonomics ... explores integrated systems design, showing how the I.E. must bring together all the detailed pieces into an integrated system ... adds coverage of simulation ... and updates data where applicable. Suitable for industrial and systems engineers.

[Erick Jones]

Excellent book that introduces the field of engineering and how industrial engineering birthed from that.

It is older but still contains the basic concepts every Industrial Engineer should know.

It even has a section on computer science when it was a part of IE that helps the reader to better understand networks than any other text I've read.

Excellent book should be required for all intro IE courses.

I was really liking this book even though it is a textbook, but then I found The Goal by Eliyahu M. Goldratt. And that's pretty much what's up.
