The Third Edition will provide complete integration of JIT concepts and techniques, continued use of real-world examples, and improved organization and style. There is more coverage of global factors, human issues, and strategic issues. The book also provides an introduction to production planning and control, as well as coverage of more advanced topics.

Overpriced, Unsupportive, Mind-Numbing

I required this book for a class i was taking. Overall this is one of the worst text books i have ever used. The book is filled with somewhat technical and complex information regarding MPC, yet fails to provide topical examples illustrating the principles and theories behind the information. The only reason to ever buy a book this overpriced and disobliging is for a class.

I hate this Book

This book is terrible and most of my classmates concur. For example chapter 5 alludes to certain statistical methods and in essence completely butchers them. As a student I had to use several other resources to pass my classes as this text is useless. If you are an instructor select something else.

This is a must have in any business library. The material is applicable in many useful areas throughout the supply chain. It's enjoyable to read b/c you keep thinking of how to apply the theories introduced in the book in your work. This is absolutely a treasure in your library.

Too wordy and lengthy content to focus the points well

Even if it is taken as the popular textbook for MPC, I'd rather read the another one: "Introduction to the materials management" by Arnold and Chapman. I can not easily catch the points and feel muddled after reading long sections and words in this book. However, the examples and case studies here are worthy to have a big picture for those who are new in this field.

Great book for all Industrial engineers. It does not get completely complicated and relates directly to common day industry practices.
