EDITORIAL: A word from the new editor

Abstract

One day in May 2019, I received an extraordinary request from my Department of Industrial Engineering and Management as to whether I would be interested in discussing the editorship of International Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management (IJIEM). IJIEM has always served researchers and managers in the industry by publishing articles on research and industrial applications, new techniques, and development trends in the field of industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, and management. This dissemination of information on new and advanced developments in the field of industrial engineering and management is one of the reasons why I feel very happy to take over the editorship. On June 1, 2019, I was officially nominated as an Editor-in-Chief of IJIEM.
