This book explores various technical domains, including industrial engineering, computer sciences, process engineering, and system engineering, seamlessly integrated with management theories. It explores how this fusion of knowledge can drive improvements, transformations, and the design of new processes, products, or organizational structures, ultimately generating significant value for both society and the market. The book introduces the concept of management engineering and delves into its implementation process, including the development of new methodologies or frameworks designed to solve complex problems effectively. It provides a comprehensive perspective on the evolution of management engineering, presenting the most relevant strategies for assimilating this approach to generate value, especially in the context of emerging economies.
Guillermo Cortes Robles has a master's degree in industrial engineering from the Instituto Tecnológico de Orizaba and a Ph.D. in Industrial Systems from the Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse, France. Today, he is a professor of engineering science at the Tecnologico Nacional de Mexico-Instituto Tecnologico de Orizaba in the postgraduate school, specifically in the management engineering master and the engineering Sciences Ph.D. program. His research interests are applying the TRIZ theory combined with other approaches (e.g., knowledge management, decision support systems, genetic algorithms, creativity techniques, among other technologies) to accelerate the innovation process. He is the President of the Mexican TRIZ association (AMETRIZ). Was the technical leader of more than 15 projects and had published several articles in different journals. Also was the director of 25 master thesis and five doctoral dissertations.
