Manufacturing operations broadly incorporate variety of aspects but primarily production and associated services. Success of manufacturing operations largely depends on the demand information, costs/revenue, qualitative/quantitative techniques of demand forecasting and financial analysis which are covered appropriately in this book. With significant focus on related analysis, facilities layouts are also discussed in detail. Inventory/project/production planning and management have been explained. Other topics include quality control and work study. The book is expected to be a useful source of information for management and engineering students as well as professionals working in this field.
