Production and Operations Management

Structured around the five Ps model - product, plant, processes, programmes and people - this book deals with production and operations management. New to this edition is a chapter discussing classification and coding and one giving examples of the use of work study. Greater coverage is given to quality and reliability, short term forecasting, and linear programming; and new material on OPT, MRP and MRP(11) is also included. An accompanying Lecturer's Guide and a set of paper masters for OHPs, make this a useful package for use with students. Readership is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students studying production and operations management as part of business and management courses or production engineering courses. DMS, MBA and students taking professional courses will also find the book of value. An ELBS/LPBB edition is available.
