5.0 out of 5 stars a concise introduction to materials management, 30 April 2002

By	Dr. Arslan Ornek, aornek@likya.iyte.edu.tr (Izmir, Turkey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Introduction to Materials Management:(United States Edition) (Hardcover)

I think this is the right book to start studying materials management.Each chapter written in an easy to read manner offers a great deal of systematically classified information on every aspect of production planning and control. I suggest you read the book with the accompanying case book which also covers lots of usefull material.
If chapters were outlined in more detail, it would have helped facilitate understanding and follow up more easily.
I and my students enjoy the book in class.
