The 17 text chapters are arranged into 4 key topic areas including operations management perspectives (goals, policies, operations analysis, project coordination using PERT/CPM methods); systems planning and operational and facilities design; production and delivery of services and goods (information needs, forecasting, inventory control, production scheduling, multistage and multilocation systems, personnel scheduling); and output evaluations (product quality and strategic goals). Technical appendices on probability models, simulation linear programming, and mathematical tables are included. (wz)
