About the journal
Aims and Scope:
IIE Transactions is a refereed journal devoted to the publication of original research contributions of the highest quality. It aims to foster a rich exchange among researchers and practitioners in the industrial engineering community by publishing papers that are grounded in science and mathematics, yet motivated by engineering applications.
The journal is composed of four Focused Issues: Design and Manufacturing, Operations Engineering, Quality and Reliability Engineering, and Scheduling and Logistics. An Annual Index appears in the December issue each year. In that Index, articles are classified according to the Codification System described on page 106 of Volume 25, Number 4 (July, 1993). Position statements which describe papers of interest to the respective Focused issues appear in the following issues:
- Design and Manufacturing-July, 1993
- Operations Engineering-May, 1993
- Quality and Reliability Engineering-May, 1993
- Scheduling and Logistics-September, 1993

Instructions to Authors
***Note to Authors: please make sure your contact address information is clearly visible on the outside of all packages you are sending to Editors.***
Submission Five copies of the manuscript should be submitted to the Editor of the specific focused issue to which the paper is most related. The Focused Issue Editors are:
Design and Manufacturing, Tony Woo, Professor, Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Washington, Box 352650, Seattle, WA 98195-2650, U.S.A.;
Quality and Reliability Engineering, John English, Professor, Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Arkansas, 4207 Bell Engineering Center, Fayetteville, AR, 72701, U.S.A.;
Operations Engineering, Jonathan Bard, Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Texas, Austin, TX 78712-1063, U.S.A.;
Scheduling and Logistics, Candace A. Yano, Professor, Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, U.S.A.
The author's letter of transmittal should affirm that the material has not been copyrighted, published or submitted for publication elsewhere. The Focused Issue Editor will assign your paper to a Department Editor, who will communicate to you the outcome of the review process including copies of referees' reports.
If you have difficulty determining which Focused Issue should review your paper, submit it to the Editor-in-Chief,
Mark S. Daskin, Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences, Northwestern University, 2145 Sheridan Road, Evanston, IL 60208, U.S.A. He will assign your paper to the appropriate Focused Issue for review.
The authors of an accepted article must sign a copyright agreement and submit figure drawings before the manuscript can begin the publication process.
All submissions should include five copies of a one-page or less (double-spaced) description of 'why this paper is important.' This description is for the internal use of the Department Editor and Referees and will not be printed with the manuscript. It is intended to help expedite the review process and succinctly communicate the essence of the paper directly to the Referees. For example, is the importance of the paper a new theory, a successful application, comparison of competing methodologies, a unifying tutorial or some other particular relevance?
The IIE is a consecretariat of the ANSI Z94 standard on industrial engineering terminology. Authors preparing materials for IIE publication should familiarize themselves with the ANSI terminology standards on industrial engineering and applied mathematics and use them; new terminology introduced must be defined.
The editorial and typographic specifications followed for IIE Transactions are those found in the "Hart's Rules" and "The Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors" (both Oxford University Press).
Format Keep all contributions as brief as possible consistent with clear, concise writing. Summarize or cite, do not repeat, arguments already available elsewhere, and make references to related previous work. Priority will be given to shorter papers, so authors are encouraged to optimize the lengths of their papers. The journal will not publish any paper longer than 25 typewritten pages (12 point font, 1 inch margins, double-spaced, and including references, tables, figures, and appendices). Manuscripts should be typed on one side of 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper with generous margins, and should be double-spaced throughout, including abstracts, footnotes, and references. A separate title page should contain the title and the name, IIE membership grade, company or institutional affiliation, and complete mailing address of each author. The corresponding author should be clearly noted, including his/her address, phone and fax numbers and email address.
Abstract Each article and Technical Note must be accompanied by a nonmathematical abstract of about 100 words, suitable for retrieval purposes. The abstract should summarize the purpose, scope, principal results, and conclusions, and should not contain literature citations.
Footnotes The use of footnotes is discouraged because they complicate editorial layout; most can be incorporated into the text. When employed, footnotes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers, and then listed at the bottom of the page on which they occur. Note that references are handled separately (below).
References References should be complete, clear, styled as shown below, and listed alphabetically on a separate sheet at the end of the manuscript. Citation is by the author name and date. Only cited references and publications which are readily available should be included. Examples:
Adams, B.M. and Woodall, W.H. (1989) An analysis of Taguchi's on-line process control procedure under a random-walk model. Technometrics,31, 401-413. Burke, L.I. and Rangwala, S. (1991) Tool condition monitoring in metal cutting: a neural network approach. Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing,2, 269-280. Chow, M.C., Wu, S.M. and Ermer, D.S. (1979) A time series control chart for a nuclear reactor, in Proceedings of the 1979 Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium, IEEE Press, New York, NY, pp. 1-7.
Mathematical Expressions Use the solidus whenever possible in preference to built-up fractions. Write complicated exponentials in the form exp( ), avoid subscripts (superscripts) on subscripts (superscripts) and generally modify your notation to minimize unusual or complicated typographic requirements. Label Greek letters and uncommon mathematical or ambiguous symbols on first occurrence (i.e., "zero" vs. the letter "O"). Indicate if any handwritten letters are upper or lower case, or letters are other than typed. Referenced equations should be numbered consecutively throughout the paper with number in parentheses on the same line, flush right.
Figures Illustrations are called figures and are numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Each should appear on a separate page and be cited in the text. Captions should be listed on a separate page and should contain any extensive descriptive material relating to the figure. Upon acceptance for publication, professionally prepared figures in black ink on white paper, suitable for reproduction and reduction, must be submitted. Simple sans-serif capitals are easiest to read. Photographs, when appropriate, are appropriate if they are sharp glossy prints with good contrast.
Tables Tables are defined as tabular data which can be typeset; any material with special markings should be considered a figure and treated as above. Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals, with all but common abbreviations either spelled out or defined. Computer printout reproduces poorly and conveys proportionally little to the reader for the space occupied; pertinent data should be extracted into a briefer table.
Biographical Sketches Brief biographical sketches of each author should accompany the manuscript. Each should include the author's full name, title, and organization; research activities and interests and/or responsibilities in which the author is currently engaged; relevant former positions; educational background; IIE membership grade; other professional societies with which the author is affiliated. The author is welcome to submit any additional information considered pertinent.
Page Proofs The corresponding author of each paper will receive page proofs for checking and will be responsible for approving the manuscript on behalf of all coauthors. Make only corrections necessary; please do not request exceptions to journal styling nor rewrite your material at this stage. A limited number of typographical corrections are anticipated after type has been set, but any corrections requested by the author at the proof stage which are not typographical corrections will be charged to the author. Extensive revisions or delay in returning the page proofs may postpone publication.
