Title: How to Plan and Control the Production/Operations System
Abstract: The five chapters which comprise Part III are concerned with providing an outline of the methodologies of analysis, planning and control of production/operations tasks. The aim of the business is to sell, profitably, its goods and services into its market. Success depends firstly on understanding how orders are won in that market, and secondly on evaluating how effectively the business can satisfy the order-winning criteria — generally this will be some combination of, for example, design, performance, quality, price and delivery speed. Achieving the necessary 'balance' between these performance criteria is heavily dependent on how well the business plans and controls its production/operations functions.
