Textbooks

Classical Topics in Inventory Control [PDF] (CC BY-ND)

This book is the outcome of teaching a course titled “Inventory planning and control” for several years to B.S. students. The book covers the classic topics in inventory control as well as some demand forecasting methods

Introduction to Industrial Engineering (CC BY-SA)

An introduction to industrial engineering textbook available online and as a PDF.

Simulation Modeling and Arena (CC BY-NC-ND)

Discrete-event simulation is an important tool for the modeling of complex systems and is used to represent manufacturing, transportation, and service systems in a computer program to perform experiments on a computer. Simulation modeling involves elements of system modeling, computer programming, probability and statistics, and engineering design. This is an introductory textbook for a first course in discrete-event simulation modeling and analysis for upper-level undergraduate students as well as entering graduate students. The text is focused on engineering students (primarily industrial engineering); however, the text is also appropriate for advanced business majors, computer science majors, and other disciplines where simulation is practiced.

Statistical Methods in Quality Control [PDF] (CC BY-ND)

This book is the outcome of more than 30 years teaching a course titled “Statistical Quality Control” to B.S. students. The book is divided into fourteen chapters that cover the topics on statistical quality control needed for a one-semester course. Due to the importance of control charts and Acceptance Sampling Standards, most chapters of the book deal with the control charts and Standard Sampling Tables.
