The present volume has been prepared in response to an expressed need in many undergraduate colleges for a book with the basic orientation of Modern Production Management, but abridged in both length and complexity of materials. The production management course in many such situations must take account of the fact that statistical and mathematical materials are covered elsewhere in the curriculum and that the production course is normally limited to one semester or quarter. Thus, the need for a more compact volume focused on the application of the most up-to-date concepts.
