Still a Demand for the Industrial Engineering Function 2006-06-09
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.
Demasiado volumen, poco didáctico.  2006-01-30
El voluminoso libro consiste en un compendio de diferentes artículos que cubren múltiples aspectos del campo de la Ingeniería Industrial, todos ellos descritos por autoridades en la materia (principalemente profesores de Universidad).
Justamente es el enfoque lo que hace ser un texto casi de introducción para cada uno de los temas tratados. La amplitud de los temas, son de tal calibre que o bien la descripción queda corta o bien el autor quiere incluir el máximo de detalle que llega a ser intratable como introducción.
Cada uno de los capítulos, son de por sí temas que merecen una descripción más detallada en libros por separado.
Para mi gusto, el mismo objetivo se cubre ampliamente en los libros del profesor Roger G. Schroeder (Operations Management), con una didáctica muchísimo más clara y con ejemplos más actualizados.

A generic and almost useless manual  2005-07-02
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.
Dream Come True Manual for IE  2004-10-11
As an IE graduate I've first entered manufacturing and progressed to service management in the airlines, this is still the bible for my daily work reference. Topics cover enormous grounds useful in multi industries and yet each topic is given ample depth. Chapters are structured for easy reference and search. Even if you're not an IE, there is just so much you can use in the book.
Great Reference for Industrial Engineer 2004-04-03
A great reference book for engineers who would like to implement process re-engineering. Industrial Engineering tools & methods are provided in this book.
