Introduction to Materials Management 7th Edition by Arnold and Chapman

Introduction to Materials Management 7th Edition by J. R. Tony Arnold, Stephen N. Chapman and Lloyd M. Clive covers all the essentials of modern supply chain management, manufacturing planning and control systems, purchasing, and physical distribution. Clearly written and exceptionally user-friendly, its content, examples, questions, and problems lead students step-by-step to mastery.

This edition’s extensive updates include: new techniques, technology, and case studies; reorganized and expanded coverage of lean production and JIT manufacturing; new information on sustainability and “green” production; use of INCOTERMS for global supply chains; revised end-of-chapter problems, and more. Widely adopted by colleges and universities worldwide, this is the only APICS-listed reference text for the Basics of Supply Chain Management (BSCM) CPIM certification examination.

Key Terms are listed at the end of each chapter. This book insures that users focus on important terminology and helps to make the course material easy to understand. Case studies are located in the casebook. Several of these cases have been included at the end of the selected chapters of this edition. This book provides readers with reinforcement of information and opportunities to assess their understanding.

APICS concepts and vocabulary offer users with a good working-knowledge of production and inventory procedures used in industry, while preparing them with the vocabulary for efficient on-the-job communication. New technologies are making even basic, introductory texts seem dated. Modern methods of production control, information retrieval, quality management and distribution have been added to the text.
