Production Systems Engineering (PSE) is a recently developed branch of Engineering, which aims to provide rigorous quantitative methods for analysis and design, and continuous improvement of production systems.

The main results of PSE are summarized in the textbook Production Systems Engineering[1] (WingSpan Press, 2007). All PSE methods are implemented in a suite of software referred to as the PSE Toolbox.

Every problem considered in PSE has originated in a factory situation, and every method developed in PSE has subsequently been successfully tested at and applied on the factory floor.
