Abstract: Abstract This thesis introduces the research tradition and analytical tools of Industrial Engineering (IE) to application research of social sciences. IE mainly concentrates on productive activities. However, the analyzing and solving of social problems put emphasis on both optimization of efficiency and effectiveness. It tends to hold the Problem-Driven thinking model and involves factors such as people, technology and environment which have more relative meanings. Even more important, solving social problems involves combinations of professional knowledges in more social science areas.
