Family-owned businesses constitute a significant segment of the Palestinian economy, yet they often face challenges in management, succession planning, and operational efficiency. This study aims to develop an integrated engineering system for managing family businesses in Palestine, using Al-Rajeh Chemical Detergents Factory as a case study. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining process analysis, system modeling, and interviews with management and technical staff. The proposed system focuses on improving decision-making, workflow optimization, resource allocation, and knowledge transfer across generations. Findings indicate that implementing such an engineering system enhances organizational efficiency, reduces operational redundancies, and strengthens the sustainability of family businesses in the Palestinian context. The study provides a practical framework that can be adapted to other family-owned enterprises in similar developing economies.
