This volume tells the story of Alan Pritsker's life as an engineer, academic and entrepreneur while providing an introduction to the central role of systems analysis and design in industrial engineering. The book, a collection of 36 papers, is organized topically, but each paper has an introduction explaining how it grew out of Pritsker's personal experience. Papers cover the role of the industrial engineer, the industrial engineering process, modeling, simulation languages, decision theory, control paradigms and applications.
