Handbook Of
Industrial Engineering
Equations , Formulas
And Calculations
Adedeji B Badiru
Calculations form the basis for engineering practice. Engineering researchers, instructors, students, and practitioners all need simple guides for engineering calculations. Although several books are available in the market for general engineering calculations, none is available directly for industrial engineering calculations. This book is designed to fill that void. It presents a general collection of mathematical equations that are likely to be encountered in the practice of industrial engineering.
Industrial engineering practitioners do not have to be computational experts; they just have to know where to get the computational resources that they need. This book provides access to computational resources needed by industrial engineers.
Industrial engineering is one of the most versatile and flexible branches of engineering. It has been said that engineers make things, whereas industrial engineers make things better. To make something better requires an understanding of its basic characteristics.
The underlying equations and calculations facilitate that understanding. This book consists of several sections, each with a focus on a particular problem area. The book include the following topics:
Basic math calculations
Engineering math calculations
Production engineering calculations
Engineering economics calculations
Ergonomics calculations
Facility layout calculations
Production sequencing and scheduling calculations
Systems engineering calculations
Data engineering calculations
Project engineering calculations
Simulation and statistical equations
The book is unique in the market because it is the first book of its kind to focus exclusively on industrial engineering calculations with a correlation to applications for practice. The book will be of interest to engineering instructors, practicing engineers, upper-level undergraduate engineering students, graduate students, industry engineers, general practitioners, researchers, and consultants. This book will also be a useful review reference for practicing engineers preparing for the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) examinations. It is expected to have a long and sustainable tenure in the market in a manner similar to the machinery handbook which has undergone multiple editions.
The modular layout and sectioning of the book will permit additions and expansions as new calculations emerge from research and practice of industrial engineering. As this is the first effort at compiling a specific handbook of industrial engineering equations, we expect the compilation to grow and improve over time.
