This open textbook is primarily based on the open resource, Introduction to Industrial Engineering, by Dr. Jane M. Fraser.  Additional open source materials were used in the Teamwork chapter from Exploring Business produced by the University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing.  The Problem Solving Skills chapter was adapted from Introduction to Problem Solving Skills produced by the MIT Office of Digital Learning.  The following index details where content from each source was used in this manuscript.  New content (as noted below) indicates major additions that I created.
