I recently came across the book - Hospital Industrial Engineerig by Harold Smalley and John Freeman. In this books there is a reference to a book by R.N. Lehrer, The Management of Improvement: Concepts, Organization, and Strategy.
Do we have books dedicated to the design aspect of industrial engineering and installation aspect of industrial engineering?
