Management Science and Engineering

1. Introduction

Industrial Engineering (IE) is one of the fastest growing areas of engineering in China. It is concerned with the design and deployment of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. IE is vital to solving today’s critical and complex problems in manufacturing, distribution systems, health care services, utilities, transportation, entertainment, and the environment. Industrial engineers focus on the integration of humans, machines, and materials to achieve optimal system performance.
