Production, Planning Control & Industrial Management

Production, Planning Control & Industrial Management by Dr. K. C. Jain, Dr. L. N. Agarwal

---

Book Summary:

After a long time of thinking and discussions with my collogues I decided a to revise and retitle this book originally titled as “Production Planning Control & Industrial Management”. I have tried to remove redundant and inappropriate topics and incorporate the new chapters which are relevant to the new title i.e. Production Planning Control And Operations Management.

Production Planning Control is only one of the functions of Production and operations management. Till 6th and 7th decade of the last century the production function was of the primary importance due to a large gap between supply and demand. However, operations management in this century has become a most exciting field of study then ever before. Here it is important to site that even Buffa decide to retitle his first book on Production Inventory Systems: Planning and Control, 1968 to “Modern Production/Operations Management” at around 1980. The roots of PM and OM stem from PPC, Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Strategic Management, Quality Control, and Management Science.

Audience of the Book :

This book Useful for Mechanical Engineering Students.
