AIIE


“Industrial engineering is concerned with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of men, materials, and equipment. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems.” (AIIE, 1955). [4]


AIIE (Revised)


"Industrial engineering is concerned with the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment and energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems."

Little’s Law, a fundamental tool to define supply chain metrics

Sangdo (Sam) Choi

Harry F. Byrd, Jr. School of Business, Shenandoah University, Winchester, VA 22601, USA 

Abstract

We review Little's Law to define inventory turnover and other asset-turnovers. We relate Little's Law 

with EOQ model and turnovers. We suggest a new definition of cash-to-cash cycle for manufacturers, 

because the current one is for retailers. We analyze several industries using an earns-turns matrix based 

on Little's Law.
