This book describes a variety of quantitative methods that are
vital to planning and control in the operations of the industrial
world, from suppliers to manufacturing plants to distribution
centers and to the dealers and stores. The topics include:
forecasting, measuring forecast error, determining the order
quantity, safety stock, when and how much inventory to replenish,
all this for individual items and for a distribution network where
the items are housed in multiple locations. Further quantitative
methods are: manufacturing control, just-in-time, assembly,
statistical process control, distribution network, supply chain
management, transportation and reverse logistics. The methods are
proven, practical and doable for most applications. The material in
Elements of Manufacturing, Distribution and Logistics presents
topics that people want and should know in the work place. The
presentation is easy to read for students and practitioners. There
is little need to delve into difficult mathematical relationships,
and numerical examples are presented throughout to guide the reader
on applications. Practitioners will be able to apply the methods
learned to the systems in their locations, and the typical
professional will want the book on their bookshelf for reference.
Everyone in professional organizations like APICS, DSI and INFORMS;
MBA graduates, people in industry, and students in management
science, business and industrial engineering will find this book
valuable.
