DESCRIPTION This comprehensive and up‐to‐date text, now in its Third Edi on, describes how the latest techniques in produc on planning and control are applied to contemporary industrial setups so as to meet the ever‐increasing demands in industrial organiza ons for be er quality of services, for faster delivery of products and for adap ng to the rapid changes taking place in the industrial scenario. With the demands in the industrial arena increasingly tending to be lumpy, the most effec ve strategy for planning and controlling produc on processes cannot be a sta c, preconceived one. Instead, it is one that is flexible and is capable of adap ng to the erra c changes in demand pa erns. Evolving such a strategy requires more of prac cal skill than mere theore cal knowledge of the subject. This book explores the demands of the present‐day industrial environment and the techniques for addressing these demands through a number of case studies drawn from Indian industries. The efficacy of various planning strategies, the methods for implemen ng them, and their suitability for different industries have been clearly explained in rela on to these cases. While the essen als of theory have been covered in a simple and straigh orward style, the stress is on developing the prac cal skills required to tackle the unpredictable problems and the unforeseen demands that pose a formidable challenge to modern industries. The book places emphasis as much on the principles of heuris c techniques as on the systema c approach to produc on planning. This book would serve as a useful textbook to postgraduate students of management as well as undergraduate students of industrial engineering. It will be equally useful to the teaching community and the prac cing professionals.
