Sustainable Industrial Engineering and Management Systems

This series provides a central hub to explore innovative industrial engineering and management tools, techniques, and frameworks that enable economic, social, and environmental sustainability across organizational systems and supply chains. With a rising global imperative for industries to dramatically reduce their resource usage and waste as well as create positive lifecycle impacts, the volumes in this series equip operations leaders to drive transformational change. Authored by world-renowned researchers and practitioners at the nexus of sustainability and operational excellence, the books will give an integrated, systemic perspective across both manufacturing and service ecosystems. Core technical topics include circular production, symbiotic supplier networks, product/process reengineering, IoT-enabled flexibility and control, safety advancements, and rigorous impact quantification methods amongst others. Application domains span smart factories, transportation fleets, healthcare networks, and built environment systems. Volumes feature actionable case studies from pioneers, high-relevance lessons for managers planning interventions, as well as skill-building exercises. By disseminating cutting-edge IEM knowledge, the books aim to cross-pollinate innovations that accelerate prosperous, responsible, and renewable value creation globally. While rigorously grounded in technical and scientific discourse, the series maintains an accessible style suited to technology strategists, engineers, business leaders, and applied policymakers.
