Just-in-time management strategies continue to evolve and remain crucial for world-class business operations. Schniederjans and Olson focus on the latest, most important advances in JIT strategies and explain how to use a broad range of information about them, pulled from the latest significant JIT literature. Covering quantitative methods and conceptual ideas often reported in obscure sources and thus frequently inaccessible even to scholars, their book makes its points with easily grasped examples to help readers put the ideas here immediately to use. An extensive, up-to-date bibliography of recent JIT books is presented in a way that will help users quickly identify titles most important for their own special needs. Production and other operations executives will find the book an essential resource in their ongoing effort to keep themselves up-to-date and stay there.

Part I provides an introduction to the book's premise and basic JIT principles. Part II focuses on JIT quantitative methods, and Part III examines a series of popular JIT topics covering the most current conceptual issues. Along the way, Schniederjans and Olson explain where JIT inventory management principles can be applied, how simulation methodology can be used to improve JIT systems, and how the Kanban systems are being changed innovatively and integrated more successfully into business operations. They also show how supply chains can be improved to utilize JIT principles better, how JIT is changing production scheduling, and how managers can utilize their human resources more effectively in a JIT environment.

Of all the subjects in the school curriculum, science has been a most common target of the reformer's zeal. As a consequence, school science has featured frequently in studies of change in evaluation exercises and has also attracted the interest of social scientists. There have been others who have studied the effects of innovation in this field not as evaluators, nor as scientists, but as students of curricular problems. Such work is represented in this book, originally published in 1982. It is particularly concerned with the way in which teachers use innovation and how this can assist policy making in the curriculum field. By focusing on the science curriculum the contributors examine in detail the way in which teachers cope with daily problems and with the demands that new ideas make on the systems to which they are accustomed. The relationship between the school and the community is also dealt with in these case studies, all of which have implications for policy and research in the curriculum field.
