Helped me pass the PE!

Great introductory text for a non-IE. Very broad, covers most of the range of the IE topic. I used it as a study aid when studying for the PE exam; I passed, and I credit much of that to this book. Good: Covers lots of stuff that was on the exam, including: -Industrial processes (metal cutting, Taylor tool life eqn) -Facility layout -Facility location (traveling salesman, milk run algorithms) -Operations planning (forecasting demand, EOQ, exponential forecasting) -Project management (PERT, crashing, forward/backward pass) -Good introduction to stats and probs in the appendix Not-so-good: -Lots of wasted space on management theory (get a business text instead) -Computer stuff is out-of-date It does not go into substantial detail, so it is (as titled) an introductory text. Still, I highly recommend it to the non-IE.
