Representing the best papers from the International Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIIE) conference held in Istanbul in June 2013, and developed by contributors from at least six different countries, this material lends their expertise on the international impact of industrial engineering applications and provides a thorough understanding of the subject. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocusing on two key aspects of the industrial engineering (IE) discipline, non-traditional settings and international environments, the book introduces applications and incorporates case studies illustrating how IE-based tools and techniques have been applied to diverse environments around the world. Each chapter represents a novel application of industrial tools and techniques. In addition, the authors highlight some of the more exciting developments and implementations of industrial engineering. The book enables both students and practitioners to learn from universal best practices and observe the international growth of the discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConsisting of ten chapters, this groundbreaking work includes content that: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents applications in the area of natural resource development, or more specifically open-pit mining, to optimize the extraction sequence of blocks--an operation that can have a major impact on mining profitability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStudies disasters and details where to best locate sites for disaster waste procession (multiobjective optimization is used to identify site locations and provide solution guidance)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines factors affecting buying patterns and behaviors at private shopping clubs (Turkey is used as a benchmark and a technology acceptance model is used to study the buying behavior)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores optimization methods that can be used to increase the effectiveness of the timing of traffic signals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses the Turkish banking sector and the measurement of efficiency of its banks (a topic that greatly impacts the emerging financial market)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApplies quantitative models to study 29 commercial banks and 12 investment banks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndustrial Engineering Non-Traditional Applications in International Settings\u003c\/strong\u003e explores the globalization of this expanding discipline and serves as a guide to industry professionals including systems, industrials, manufacturing engineers, design, production, environmental, and Lean Six Sigma engineers, and is also relevant to applied ergonomics, business scm, business logistics, and business operations management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bopaya Bidanda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1482226871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781482226874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Bopaya Bidanda","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088374182143,"sku":"9781482226874","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89524eba-90b0-453b-bbc0-a56dbbf81e11.jpg?v=1769104482","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/industrial-engineering-non-traditional-applications-in-bopaya-bidanda-9781482226874","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
