By having the subject included in a textbook the students see that it is now important. I introduce engineering terminology such as MTBF, MTTR, and Availability measures. I feel it is important because these are specs purchasing agents or sales reps will need to become familiar with. This chapter should always be included in a course that teaches the concepts of JIT manufacturing., Excellent topic coverage - I especially like the coverage on technology selection & management, supply chain management, and maintenance management. I like the way the appendices are handled at the end of the text and not scattered throughout the text. Gaither/Frazier has done a good job of integrating the quantitative methods used in POM into the regular text material rather than treating them as appendices., The strengths of Gaither and Frazier include: (1) the internet assignment, industry snapshots, and wrap-ups are excellent bridges between theory and practice; and (2) the visual aids, such as the colors, images, and graphs, are used so nicely that really help materials flow and catch the reader's attention.Lccn2001-034493. It does the jobThis book was needed to do questions that were required for class and I found it pretty easy to find the answers.
Our class did not fully explore the book such as all the math that it contains but, it is an interesting read here and there. And unless you are interested in this book and really want to go hog wild into reading this thing, I would recommend not paying a book store price.
Find a used one and get the same value out of it. This book is worth its money, but like every single school book, its not worth the $110.00+ book stores price it at.
