The document discusses various topics in production and operations management. It covers how manufacturing is declining while services are growing. It then defines key terms like production, operations management, and different production processes. The rest of the document discusses strategies to improve competitiveness like CAD/CAM, lean manufacturing and mass customization. It also covers facilities management topics such as location, layout, inventory control and quality management tools.

A JIT system makes sure the right materials are at the right place at the right time at the cheapest cost to meet both customer and production needs. To start a discussion with students ask the following question: While the benefits of the JIT system are obvious what are some of the drawbacks?
