Still using after 10 years

I've had the 2nd edition for 10 years now and am looking to "upgrade". I can honestly say that this book holds up well both literally and professionally. I use it at least weekly for myriad topics from communications structures to risk management to systems engineering. It's a must-have for any professional engineer or research scientist.

Can't say anything under 'Totally Satisfied'

As soon as I received this book, I started realize the price is great compared to what the book is offering. We IE usually need to remember some things we learnt while we were studying, and instead of looking for it in many many books, you'll find it here. A friend of mine bought the Maynard's, and sincerely, Salvendy's is a lot better, better focused and clearly explained everything. Great buy!!

Perfect

In one word; perfect!It is a must for an industrial, and system engineerit serves and explains every useful information we need.Thank you!

A Sturdy Reference Manual.

One of the best, if now the only, Reference manuals specifically written and aimed towards the practice of the wide field of industrial engineering. Within this massive 'CODEX' an IE can find information covering almost evey area in the vast field. Not meant as an introduction to the field, I however highly recomend it for the practicing members of our field.
