For Industrial Engineering courses focusing on logistic engineering
and management. An authoritative exploration of logistics
management within the engineering design and development process,
this book concentrates on the design, sustaining maintenance and
support of systems from a lifecycle perspective. This is the only
text that deals with logistics and system support: (1) as an
integrated entity and an integral part of the overall structure of
a total -system"; (2) from a total system life-cycle
perspectiveafrom the initial identification of a need through
design and development, production, utilisation and support, and
retirement and material disposal; and (3) as a major consideration
early in the system life cycle during the system engineering design
and development process.
For senior-level undergraduate and first and second year graduate
systems engineering and related courses. A total life-cycle
approach to systems and their analysis. This practical introduction
to systems engineering and analysis provides the concepts,
methodologies, models, and tools needed to understand and implement
a total life-cycle approach to systems and their analysis. The
authors focus first on the process of bringing systems into
being-beginning with the identification of a need and extending
that need through requirements determination, functional analysis
and allocation, design synthesis, evaluation, and validation,
operation and support, phase-out, and disposal. Next, the authors
discuss the improvement of systems currently in being, showing that
by employing the iterative process of analysis, evaluation,
feedback, and modification, most systems in existence can be
improved in their affordability, effectiveness, and stakeholder
satisfaction. Free instructor resources Free instructor resources

A richly illustrated natural history of ants, covering their
diversity, ecology, anatomy, behavior, and more Plentiful and
familiar, ants make up an estimated one-third of the world's insect
biomass and can be found in virtually every part of the globe, from
rain forest canopies to city sidewalks. But their importance is
about more than numbers: ants are fundamental species in a range of
habitats and their interactions with plants, fungi, and other
animals ensure the survival of many fragile and complex ecosystems.
This beautifully illustrated book explores the extraordinary
diversity of ants and offers insights into their elaborate social
systems, investigating the key collective and competitive behaviors
that operate within their varied colony structures. Featuring
exceptional close-up photographs and clearly organized thematic
chapters, the book covers anatomy, evolution, life cycle, ecology,
and other important topics. Each chapter also features profiles of
standout genera, chosen for their fascinating characteristics,
including Leafcutter Ants, who build nests containing up to 7,000
chambers; Pugnacious Ants whose colonies can destroy populations of
crabs within hours; and Honeypot Ants whose worker caste store food
in their stomachs for other colony members to consume. Drawing on
current research, Ants offers an inviting and accessible
introduction to these remarkable insects. Includes more than 200
stunning color photographs, plus infographics and diagrams Presents
full profiles of 42 iconic genera from across the world Features
clearly structured thematic chapters
