Download Industrial Engineering: Industrial Engineering Applications in Emerging Countries (2015, Hardcover) in DJV, PDF
9781482226898 1482226898 The second book in a three-book series on global logistics management, Industrial Engineering Applications in Emerging Countries explores recent industrial engineering (IE) applications on selected logistics problems in emerging countries. The book provides case studies and critical reviews of IE tools and techniques and discusses their use in sectors such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, maritime risk analysis, electricity markets, petroleum production, traffic congestion, and public transportation. With numerous examples and case studies, the book focuses on productivity measurement and improvement in process industries. It covers topics such as, A simulation-based maritime risk analysis study that explores how risk of leaks or fires can be managed, Alternative formulations and solution methods for the Turkish day-ahead electricity markets price optimization problem, A floor stock inventory model that uses stimulation optimization to mitigate costly disruptions caused by lack of required raw materials, Discussion of how to apply the results of hand torque strength studies to increase productivity and quality of work, An analysis of traffic flow on roads and highways that can lead to remedies for increased congestion levels, Analysis and simulations of the production line of a crude oil refinery for process and quality control, Examination of the effectiveness of public transportation and subway networks in relieving road congestion, The breadth and depth of IE applications in developing countries has witnessed rapid growth in the last three decades. This book provides a collation of modern applications of IE tools and techniques to a diversity of environments in the context of emerging economies. It gives you the resources to devise solutions to overcome the challenges of moving goods through a system that in many cases still depends on human muscle and is susceptible to costly disruptions. Book jacket., The second volume of a three-volume series on global logistics management, this book focuses on recent developments and implementations of operations research techniques on selected logistic problems in emerging countries. The book covers topics ranging from quality management in pharmaceutical supply chains to risk analysis of maritime ports and identifies quality management practices that impact supply chain performance using empirical data from pharmaceutical manufacturing sector in Pakistan. It provides case studies and discusses the application of IE tools.
