Industrial engineering originated in the United States, and
although the popularity of this discipline has grown worldwide,
there is still little information available outside of the US
regarding its practical use and application. Industrial Engineering
Non-Traditional Applications in International Settings raises the
bar and examines industrial engineering from a global perspective.
Representing the best papers from the International Institute of
Industrial Engineers (IIIE) conference held in Istanbul in June
2013, and developed by contributors from at least six different
countries, this material lends their expertise on the international
impact of industrial engineering applications and provides a
thorough understanding of the subject. Focusing on two key aspects
of the industrial engineering (IE) discipline, non-traditional
settings and international environments, the book introduces
applications and incorporates case studies illustrating how
IE-based tools and techniques have been applied to diverse
environments around the world. Each chapter represents a novel
application of industrial tools and techniques. In addition, the
authors highlight some of the more exciting developments and
implementations of industrial engineering. The book enables both
students and practitioners to learn from universal best practices
and observe the international growth of the discipline. Consisting
of ten chapters, this groundbreaking work includes content that:
Presents applications in the area of natural resource development,
or more specifically open-pit mining, to optimize the extraction
sequence of blocks-an operation that can have a major impact on
mining profitability Studies disasters and details where to best
locate sites for disaster waste procession (multiobjective
optimization is used to identify site locations and provide
solution guidance) Examines factors affecting buying patterns and
behaviors at private shopping clubs (Turkey is used as a benchmark
and a technology acceptance model is used to study the buying
behavior) Explores optimization methods that can be used to
increase the effectiveness of the timing of traffic signals
Discusses the Turkish banking sector and the measurement of
efficiency of its banks (a topic that greatly impacts the emerging
financial market) Applies quantitative models to study 29
commercial banks and 12 investment banks Industrial Engineering
Non-Traditional Applications in International Settings explores the
globalization of this expanding discipline and serves as a guide to
industry professionals including systems, industrials,
manufacturing engineers, design, production, environmental, and
Lean Six Sigma engineers, and is also relevant to applied
ergonomics, business scm, business logistics, and business
operations management.
