Helped me pass the PE!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Introduction To Industrial And Systems Engineering (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)
Great introductory text for a non-IE. Very broad, covers most of the range of the IE topic. I used it as a study aid when studying for the PE exam; I passed, and I credit much of that to this book.Good: Covers lots of stuff that was on the exam, including: -Industrial processes (metal cutting, Taylor tool life eqn) -Facility layout -Facility location (traveling salesman, milk run algorithms) -Operations planning (forecasting demand, EOQ, exponential forecasting) -Project management (PERT, crashing, forward/backward pass) -Good introduction to stats and probs in the appendix Not-so-good: -Lots of wasted space on management theory (get a business text instead) -Computer stuff is out-of-date It does not go into substantial detail, so it is (as titled) an introductory text. Still, I highly recommend it to the non-IE.
