Focuses on the fundamental principles and techniques, rather than on mathematical derivations.
Explores the full range of manufacturing control techniques — their strengths and weaknesses, and their applications — with examples from process, repetitive, aerospace and defense industries.
Identifies 66 production control principles.
Provides in-depth coverage of Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and the Master Production Schedule.
