Excellent practice of production understanding

Unlike many books, this book allows you to practice your knowledge of production systems. This book is a good addition to any production systems (production inventory control, production operations management) class. It provides a good, basic overview of many of the principles needed for the production control professional. The main advantage of this book is that it has a diskette with it to allow practice of the principles. A tool called ProDSS is included to aid in many of the calculations using Excel macros. These calculations include forecasting and labor requirements. There is also a simulation to evaluate your decisions against a factory environment. However, you must have the instructor text with diskette to utilize this feature.I consider this text an excellent choice for the basics of production systems. It is also an excellent addition to any college level production systems class (although I really think another text like Factory Physics should be used also to provide more details to much of the content.)
