"Production Management" is a traditional course in management studies with a history of nearly a century and has gradually matured. However, production activities have always been the most fundamental and dynamic part of social activities. Especially with the development of high technology and the intensification of enterprise competition, the concepts, domains, methods, and manufacturing processes of production have undergone new transformations, and accordingly, the ideas, organization, and methods of production management have also been continuously evolving. Therefore, production management textbooks need constant updates. This book systematically elaborates on the basic theories, principles, and methods of production management, as well as how to plan, organize, and control production activities. It has the characteristics of "broad, innovative, and practical": "broad" refers to incorporating the outstanding theories and methods of production management from ancient and modern times, treating customer-centric development, production, and sales as a coordinated system. "Innovative" refers to the novelty of its content, exploring new theories, methods, and trends, with significant innovations, such as the production of service and knowledge products, the production management of the service industry, strategic management, computer-aided production management, new trends in production systems, market competition-oriented approaches, supply chain management, and simulation and cost control. "Practical" refers to its applicability, practicality, and effectiveness, linking theory with practice and being operationally feasible. This book is primarily intended for undergraduate students in business and management and postgraduate students in management science and management engineering. It can also serve as a self-study reference for practical management workers in enterprises and various economic management departments.
