Review
"... a truly comprehensive text on the field of industrial engineering... This comprehensive handbook will undoubtedly be a popular reference text for anyone requiring more information on all of the principles and practices of industrial engineering. It is well presented, it contains numerous charts, tables, and diagrams, and it features a detailed index." -- Applied Mechanics Review, 2/93
"... successfully integrates the excellence of the earlier editions with the continuing needs of the serious industrial engineer... provides an excellent resource for quick access to a variety of subjects..since reviewing this tome for review, I consult it on a regular basis and have found it to be an excellent resource." -- Stephen R. Luke, PE, Naval Engineers Journal, 7/93
"Although this book has similarities to the 2nd edition of Gavriel Salvendy's Handbook of Industrial Engineering (John Wiley, 1991), it still provides unique information. Recommended for academic libraries and large public libraries that serve management and industrial engineering clientele." -- American Reference Books Annual, 1993
