The book is designed to provide a better understanding of industrial operations. Financial management, management accounting, break even ysis, depreciation and replacement policies for equipment are covered. Numerical examples are provided as appropriate. Chapters on industrial relations, industrial safety and industrial legislation are included. A chapter on decision-making is added to examine this vital skill. Quantitative techniques for decision-making, such as linear programming, transportation problems, assignment problems, game theory, and queuing theory are also discussed in this textbook. The text features a lucid presentation of the concepts; illustrative figures and tables; numerical problems with solutions; and chapter-end rew questions to test knowledge of the fundamental concepts.
