This textbook by Ronald G. Askin covers the design and analysis of production and manufacturing systems. It provides a systematic approach to single- and multistage production systems with an emphasis on planning, decision-making, and systems analysis. The work is suitable for students of industrial engineering and quantitative business administration.
Contents
The book presents fundamental system concepts with a deeper elaboration than is found in conventional operations management texts. It includes mathematical decision-making models and practical techniques for improving production processes. In addition to planning and analysis, it also covers hands-on methods such as reducing setup times and making production mistake-proof. The content follows the standard decision-making hierarchy of production systems and integrates modern management philosophies such as lean manufacturing, time-based competition, and supply chain management.
With a clear structure and rigorous analysis, this book is intended for advanced bachelor and beginning master students in industrial engineering and related fields of study.
