This title is a text-reference for advanced students and practitioners involved in operations, inventory control, production control, and physical supply in manufacturing.

• presents the theory and applications of alternative systems (models) for managing materials (inventory) — their use, transformation, distribution, and sale — and their flow to, within, and from the organization.

• content progresses from simple systems to more complex models.

• features numerous examples of solved problems and short case studies that explore a variety of situations and organizational settings.
