Synopsis

This book presents in-depth case studies from an industrial engineering perspective of the rise and fall of selected industries around the world. Discussing what works and what doesn’t work from a systems approach can help the industry avert problems of shutdowns and takeovers.

Leadership Matters: An Industrial Engineering Framework for Developing and Sustaining Industry discusses how industries face the birth and death of new manufacturing enterprises. Many disastrous outcomes can be prevented if proper industrial engineering tools and techniques are applied throughout daily operations. This book explains how product development, advancement, and international promotion are best accomplished through the practice of industrial engineering techniques. It illustrates how the discipline of industrial engineering has a proven track record of aiding the survival of industry especially now that organizations are more vulnerable to adverse developments in the global supply chain. Real-world examples of managing products, services, and results are offered along with a range of management tools. A template for operational excellence is also provided.

This practical professional book should be on the reading shelf of all industry practitioners, industrial and manufacturing engineers, business management professionals, and consultants as well as those teaching industrial, mechanical, and business leadership courses.
