The motivation for this book came out of a shared belief that what passed as 'theory' in operations management (OM) was all too often inadequate. In one respect, OM scholars were bending over backwards to make theories from other fields fit our research problems. In another, questionable assumptions were being used to apply mathematics to OM problems. This book provides a succinct summary of the core knowledge of OM through a set of ten fundamental principles that bring together a century of operations management thinking, and which cover all basic aspects of the core teaching covered at Master's level.

"Production control systems (PCS) play a critical role in cost optimization of today's global supply chains. PCS manage the physical material flow in the manufacturing plan and are therefore a key driver of inventory levels and productions cost. Since the introduction of Toyota's just-in-time philosophy, pull control strategies have been adopted by numerous companies worldwide both in the manufacturing and service sectors. The most well-known pull control strategies are Kanban, constant work-in-process (CONWIP), and their extensions. This book provides some recent developments in production management and presents modeling and analysis tools for pull production control systems. It includes up-to-date academic research findings to manage and control production systems. Chapters will cover new models, strategies, and analyses that are essential for pull production systems.
