Managing Information Technology

This book discusses the management of information technology. What is the definition of information technology and whether the same information systems. Written by E. Wainright Martin et al (Prentice Hall, first printing 1999). In an introduction in Chapter I the author told the origin of the first computer. It is said that the first computer in 1946 called the ENIAC (Electric Numerical International Computer), initiated by Dr. John W. Manlchy & J. Presper (Moore School of Electrical Engineering; Univ. Pennsylvania). This book is an old, but good enough story in sequence. Because the author tells about the history and types of any picture of information technology, and then presented on management information systems. Starting from defining what a system. "System is a set of interrelated components must work together to That Achieve some common purpose (page 272)."

Automation, Production Systems, and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing

Textbooks for an industrial engineer, particularly with the concentration leads to production engineering. The author is Professor of Industrial And Systems Engineering from Lehigh University. Mikell P Groover. Publisher is Pearson in 2008, and the book has been entered in the third edition. In the prefix and Chapter 1 of this book, the author tries to give an overview and definition of what it is in general production systems and manufacturing systems. Chapter 2 will attempt an explanation detailing what the manufacturing system. Next is a pretty interesting discussion on the science of Industrial Engineering, namely Automation and Control Technology (including outlines of the CAD / CAM). Manufacturing systems can not be separated from the material handling system. Therefore, the authors also make a special chapter to provide examples of concepts and real about it. In the end, there is an explanation of Quality Control (Quality Control) in any manufacturing system that includes the type of Manufacturing Support System.
The first edition of this book is actually published in 1980 when the Department of Industrial Engineering has not so much in Indonesia. Prof.Groover manufactur explained that the term comes from the Latin. Which is composed of two words; Manus (hand) and factus (make). Its history began in the country Inddris in 1567 (page 41). Appears the term of handicraft enterprises. The development of manufacturing can not be separated from the production system. Since the manufacturing system has a wider scope than just the production system. And management of production systems should not merely a matter of 'knowledge management'. It just feels not enough. Because what better way is with a systemic approach and modeling.

Simulasi Sistem Industri

The author is Miftakhol Arifin. Graduates of Industrial Engineering AKPRIND Jogja, and a Masters in Industrial Engineering (ITS Surabaya Indonesia). Lecturer on UPN Jogja. Thick book's 200 pages are published by Graha Ilmu Yogyakarta, 2009. This book contains the introduction of the system, models and simulations, aspects of probability, random number generator, discrete event simulation, queuing systems, verification validation of simulation, simulation of dynamic systems and system services.
This book is suitable for students or anyone who wants to learn about simulation. Simulation of industrial systems in general, is written in the style of a holistic approach to industrial engineering. But that does not mean only suitable for industrial engineering students. Also for others, such as students of informatics, management and mechanical engineering. This book is not about the introduction to simulation or theoretical basis, for example such as the theory of Law & Ketone. But more to the summary, in the Indonesian language, so it is more readable. Per chapter was written format such as lab module, there is a purpose, the basic theory to case examples in a language that is quite easy to understand. Some examples of cases that raised, among others, supermarket cashiers and simulation of dynamic systems simulation of the behavior of the growth of hotels in Yogyakarta.

Industrial Engineering and Management

“Industrial Engineering and Management” 2nd edition; by Philip E. Hicks. Singapore: McGraw Hill International Edition, 1994. History of Industrial Engineering can be read in this book. Industrial engineering is a new science, one of which comes from the development of mechanical engineering. So actually been there hundreds of years ago. Industrial engineering college library should have this book. This book is one of the important book about the theoretical basis for industrial engineering majors. It is one important reference for referral of new books on industrial engineering and management.

Organizational Excellence

A book for a student of Industrial Engineering and practitioners as well as factory workers. Gaspers Vincent is a graduate of ITB (Institut Teknologi Bandung; Indonesia) which has lots to write about the system of production, organization and quality management. In the book "Organizational Excellence", he tried to reveal the ROOT CAUSE of the failure of the organization's management system has been implemented by several companies (such as ISO 9001, Six-Sigma and Lean manufacturing). He stated that the primary cause is a systems approach that is still random, partial, and not yet integrated, in terms of implementing a performance management system. Indicators and parameters to be applied between one division and other divisions are not synchronized in accordance with the vision and corporate strategy at the macro level.
Master Improvement Story is one of the solutions offered by him The approach by tracking the historical aspect and technical implementation in the field to always crossceck so that appropriate management systems implementation company's needs.
