I had the opportunity of working this book at a Colombian university, and I think it has all tools to be used in any manufacturing system by integrating helpful heuristics and algorithms. I frecuently use this book to solve some problems in my current job at a manufacturing company.
First book for IE

If you are an IE and you don't have this book, there might be some problems :) Well, Askin and Standridge did a great job in compiling almost any manufacturing/production system in a single comprehensive textbook. Any chapter is sufficient for basic understanding (including basic model), but further studies are given. Having this book along with Factory Physics is such a full of joy to be IE.
