    Introduction to Materials Management continues to serve as the global standard for courses in supply chain management, inventory planning, and logistics. Recommended by the Association for Operations Management (APICS) for its Basics of Supply Chain Management training module, Introduction to Materials Management provides a thorough grounding in the basics of this subject for students and professionals alike.

    Developed to address the need for a text that allows the fundamentals to be covered in a reasonable time, this edition of Introduction to Materials Management starts by introducing the supply chain concept, and gradually progresses through the planning and control of goods and components. The book remains basic in its roots but includes modern practices of quality and production inventory management, with coverage of Just-in-time, Kanbans, ISO 9000:2000, and Total Quality Management.
