A generic and almost useless manual,
By Mauricio "Weekend Woodworker" (East Rutherford, New Jersey, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Maynard's Industrial Engineering Handbook (Hardcover)
I've been a professional IE for more than 15 years and I bought this "manual" thinking that it would actually be a summary of the most important tools used in this profession, but I realized that it is not. It is way to general and it has lost most of the formulas and calculations that are required as an IE. There is too much wording and too little math. If you are a manager and you don't care for the how to, this is good for you. If you are in the field, and you need a quick reference on how to calculate things and how to implement them , you got to look for another book.

OK,
This review is from: Maynard's Industrial Engineering Handbook (Hardcover)
This is only a reference book if you want to refresh your concepts. I bought it when I graduated and only used it twice since then. I would not recommend it.

Still a Demand for the Industrial Engineering Function,
By gobirds2 (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maynard's Industrial Engineering Handbook (Hardcover)
There is a definite demand for this handbook based on the price I would say. Honestly, it is wide-ranging in its scope of the IE function reflecting the diversity of Industrial Engineering in general. I like the concise format for that very reason. I am an old fashioned Motion and Time Study IE and the ever evolving nature of the field based on exponentially improved communications and technology at our fingertips has slanted and re-postured the nature of Industrial Engineering. This new slant is well represented here and is an indispensable source of reference for new IEs and the old timers like myself. I was recently told that an Engineer is an Engineer is Engineer etc. That may be but you still have to say current in your field. This handbook is an invaluable concise reference and a good starting point for whatever diverse topics you wish to review and investigate.
