For undergraduate/graduate courses in Materials Management, Operations Management, Planning/Control.
Designed to take students beyond the problems included in introductory texts on production and inventory control, this casebook features 35 examples of the problems that production and inventory management professionals face throughout their working lives. The casebook is coordinated with the text Introduction to Materials Management by Arnold and Chapman-but is appropriate as a companion to any core production/inventory control text-and is available in customized format via Prentice Hall's JIT Custom Publishing program.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"I think it is important for cases to have a 'real life' feel to keep the [reader's] interest. These cases could have actually happened in a real-life setting today. Also, the cases require an in-depth and logical thought process to solve them. This is important in the learning process. Good job!" - Doug Kopsik, Greenville Technical College

Key Benefits of the Casebook Rather than merely applying a formula and finding an answer, users learn to apply multiple concepts, and also to consider the solution in the context of the situation.
