Posted Friday, August 14, 2009

 

The handbook of Military Industrial Engineering, edited by two Air Force Institute of Technology professors, Dr. Adedeji Badiru and Dr. Marlin Thomas, was picked as Book of the Month for August 2009 by the Industrial Engineering magazine. The magazine is the flagship professional outreach publication of the international Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) located in Atlanta, Georgia. This recognition of the handbook represents an affirmation of the acclaimed status of the handbook within the industrial engineering community as well as the defense community. The handbook is available internationally. It presents a collection of chapters on the applications of the tools and techniques of Industrial Engineering to various aspects of military operations. It presents models and approaches for looking at military operations more critically in terms of process design, planning, management, improvement, and control.

Industrial engineering has been applied to military operations for many decades. The handbook of military industrial engineering presents a focused collection of the applications for ease of reference. Examples of the roles that industrial engineering plays in military operations can be seen in many present operational strategies of the military. Industrial engineering is well versed and appropriately positioned to create, adapt, utilize, and disseminate new knowledge and tools for direct applications to defense-related challenges. The chapters in the handbook are contributed by well-known researchers, educators, and practitioners. Military and civilian members of DoD also contributed to the handbook. The contents of the book help defense organizations to effectively evaluate operational constraints of time, cost, and performance. The contents also cut across all services: Air Force, Navy, Army, Marines, Reserve, and Coast Guard. The book of the month honor presents the handbook as a valuable reference material for students, educators, researchers, policy makers, project sponsors, consultants, managers, operations supervisors, and general practitioners.
