Preface
The constantly changing landscape of Industrial Engineering makes it challenging for experts and prac-
titioners to stay informed of the field’s most up-to-date research. That is why Information Science
Reference is pleased to offer this three-volume reference collection that will empower students, research-
ers, and academicians with a strong understanding of critical issues within Industrial Engineering by
providing both broad and detailed perspectives on cutting-edge theories and developments. This refer-
ence is designed to act as a single reference source on conceptual, methodological, technical, and
managerial issues, as well as provide insight into emerging trends and future opportunities within the
discipline.
Industrial Engineering: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools and Applications is organized into eight
distinct sections that provide comprehensive coverage of important topics. The sections are: (1) Funda-
mental Concepts and Theories, (2) Development and Design Methodologies, (3) Tools and Technologies,
(4) Utilization and Application, (5) Organizational and Social Implications, (6) Managerial Impact, (7)
Critical Issues, and (8) Emerging Trends. The following paragraphs provide a summary of what to expect
from this invaluable reference tool.
Section 1, Fundamental Concepts and Theories, serves as a foundation for this extensive reference
tool by addressing crucial theories essential to the understanding of Industrial Engineering. Introducing
the book is “Defining, Teaching, and Assessing Engineering Design Skills” by Nikos J. Mourtos, a great
foundation laying the groundwork for the basic concepts and theories that will be discussed throughout
the rest of the book. Another chapter of note in Section 1 is titled “Integrating ‘Designerly’ Ways with
Engineering Science” by Ian de Vere and Gavin Melles, which discusses the novel techniques of add-
ing aspects of design science into the stricter roles of engineering practices. Section 1 concludes, and
leads into the following portion of the book with a nice segue chapter, “Tracing the Implementation of
Non-Functional Requirements,” by Stephan Bode and Matthias Riebisch. Where Section 1 leaves off
with fundamental concepts, Section 2 discusses architectures and frameworks in place for Industrial
Engineering.
Section 2, Development and Design Methodologies, presents in-depth coverage of the conceptual
design and architecture of Industrial Engineering, focusing on aspects including parametric design, ser-
vice design, fuzzy logic, control modeling, supply chain systems, and many more topics. Opening the
section is “Learning Parametric Designing” by Marc Aurel Schnabel. This section is vital for developers
and practitioners who want to measure and track the progress of Industrial Engineering on a through
the multiple lens of parametric design. Through case studies, this section lays excellent groundwork for
later sections that will get into present and future applications for Industrial Engineering, including, of
note: “Decision Support Framework for the Selection of a Layout Type” by Jannes Slomp and Jos A.C.
Bokhorst, and “Internal Supply Chain Integration” by Virpi Turkulainen. The section concludes with an
xxviii
excellent work by Mousumi Debnath and Mukeshwar Pandey, titled “Enhancing Engineering Education
Learning Outcomes Using Project-Based Learning.”
Section 3, Tools and Technologies, presents extensive coverage of the various tools and technologies
used in the implementation of Industrial Engineering. Section 3 begins where Section 2 left off, though
this section describes more concrete tools at place in the modeling, planning, and applications of Industrial
Engineering. The first chapter, “Semantic Technologies in Motion,” by Ricardo Colomo-Palacios, lays
a framework for the types of works that can be found in this section, a perfect resource for practitioners
looking for the fundamentals of the types of semantic technologies currently in practice in Industrial
Engineering. Section 3 is full of excellent chapters like this one, including such titles as “Optimization
and Mathematical Programming to Design and Planning Issues in Cellular Manufacturing Systems
under Uncertain Situations,” “Multi-Modal Assembly-Support System for Cellular Manufacturing,”
and “An Estimation of Distribution Algorithm for Part Cell Formation Problem” to name a few. Where
Section 3 described specific tools and technologies at the disposal of practitioners, Section 4 describes
successes, failures, best practices, and different applications of the tools and frameworks discussed in
previous sections.
Section 4, Utilization and Application, describes how the broad range of Industrial Engineering
efforts has been utilized and offers insight on and important lessons for their applications and impact.
Section 4 includes the widest range of topics because it describes case studies, research, methodologies,
frameworks, architectures, theory, analysis, and guides for implementation. Topics range from serios
games, enterprise resource planning, and crisis management, to air travel development and design. The
first chapter in the section is titled “Using Serious Games for Collecting and Modeling Human Procure-
ment Decisions in a Supply Chain Context,” which was written by Souleiman Naciri, Min-Jung Yoo,
and Rémy Glardon. The breadth of topics covered in the chapter is also reflected in the diversity of its
authors, from countries all over the globe, including Germany, Slovenia, Norway, Hong Kong, Malaysia,
Brazil, Cyprus, Turkey, the United States, and more. Section 4 concludes with an excellent view of a
case study in a new program, “UB1-HIT Dual Master’s Programme,” by David Chen, Bruno Vallespir,
Jean-Paul Bourrieres, and Thecle Alix.
Section 5, Organizational and Social Implications, includes chapters discussing the organizational
and social impact of Industrial Engineering. The section opens with “Process Innovation with Ambient
Intelligence (AmI) Technologies in Manufacturing SMEs” by Kathryn J. Hayes and Ross Chapman.
Where Section 4 focused on the broad, many applications of Industrial Engineering technology, Sec-
tion 5 focuses exclusively on how these technologies affect human lives, either through the way they
interact with each other, or through how they affect behavioral/workplace situations. Other interesting
chapters of note in Section 5 include “Group Decision Making for Advanced Manufacturing Technology
Selection Using the Choquet Integral” by Cengiz Kahraman, Selçuk Çebi, and Ihsan Kaya, and “Direct
Building Manufacturing of Homes with Digital Fabrication” by Lawrence Sass. Section 5 concludes
with a fascinating study of a new development in Industrial Engineering, in “Firm-Specific Factors and
the Degree of Innovation Openness” by Valentina Lazzarotti, Raffaella Manzini, and Luisa Pellegrini.
Section 6, Managerial Impact, presents focused coverage of Industrial Engineering as it relates to
effective uses of offshoring, network marketing, knowledge management, e-government, knowledge
dissemination, and many more utilities. This section serves as a vital resource for developers who want
to utilize the latest research to bolster the capabilities and functionalities of their processes. The section
begins with “Offshoring Process,” a great look into whether or not offshoring practices could help a given
business, alongside best practices and some new trends in the field. The 13 chapters in this section offer
xxix
unmistakable value to managers looking to implement new strategies that work at larger bureaucratic
levels. The section concludes with “Research Profiles” by Gretchen Jordan, Jonathon Mote, and Jerald
Hage. Where Section 6 leaves off, section seven picks up with a focus on some of the more content-
theoretical material of this compendium.
Section 7, Critical Issues, presents coverage of academic and research perspectives on Industrial
Engineering tools and applications. The section begins with “Cultural Models and Variations” by
Yongjiang Shi and Zheng Liu. Other issues covered in detail in Section 7 include design paradigns,
knowledge dynamics, layout structuring, design ethos, and much more. The section concludes with
“Engineer-to-Order” by Ephrem Eyob and Richard Addo-Tenkorang, a great transitional chapter be-
tween Sections 7 and 8 because it examines an important trend going into the future of the field. The
last chapter manages to show a theoretical look into future and potential technologies, a topic covered
in more detail in Section 8.
Section 8, Emerging Trends, highlights areas for future research within the field of Industrial Engi-
neering, opening with “Advanced Technologies for Transient Faults Detection and Compensation” by
Matteo Sonza Reorda, Luca Sterpone, and Massimo Violante. Section 8 contains chapters that look at
what might happen in the coming years that can extend the already staggering amount of applications
for Industrial Engineering. Other chapters of note include “Embedded RFID Solutions Challenges for
Product Design and Development” and “Green Computing as an Ecological Aid in Industry.” The final
