Abstract

The book is well-known for having the most current coverage available. A non-numerical approach is used with thoroughly integrated real applications. The Third Edition will provide complete integration of JIT concepts and techniques, continued use of real-world examples, and improved organization and style. There is more coverage of global factors, human issues, and strategic issues. The book also provides an introduction to production planning and control, as well as coverage of more advanced topics.
