This is a package that can be used to supplement any textbook in the broad area known as Decision Sciences. We are gratified by the response to the four previous DOS versions and three previous Windows versions of POM-QM for Windows, indicating that we have clearly met our goal. The original goal in developing this software was to provide students with the most userfriendly package available for production/operations management, quantitative methods, management science, and operations research. Today, the large majority of students have their own computers, which makes this software even more valuable than it has ever been. At the time that I finished the original DOS version, few students had personal computers or knew what an Internet service provider (ISP) was. It seems as if people have been using both minicomputers and Windows forever but, in fact, large-scale Windows usage has occurred for less than a decade. Useful hints for modules viĥ Preface It is hard to believe that POM-QM for Windows (formerly DS for Windows) has been in existence, first as a DOS program and then as a Windows program, for more than 20 years. 7 Chapter 2: A Sample Problem Introduction Creating a New Problem The Data Screen Entering and Editing Data The Solution Screen Chapter 3: The Main Menu File Edit View Module Format Tools Window Help Chapter 4: Printing The Print Setup Screen Information to Print Page Header Information Page Layout Printer Options Table of Contents vĤ POM-QM for Windows Chapter 5: Graphs Introduction File Saving Print Colors and Fonts Chapter 6: Modules Overview Aggregate (Production) Planning Assembly Line Balancing/Line Balancing The Assignment Model Breakeven/Cost-Volume Analysis Capital Investment/Financial Analysis Decision Analysis Forecasting Game Theory Goal Programming Integer and Mixed Integer Programming Inventory Job Shop Scheduling (Sequencing)/Scheduling Layout/Flexible-Flow Layout Learning (Experience) Curves Linear Programming Location Lot Sizing Markov Analysis Material Requirements Planning/Resource Planning Networks Productivity Project Management Quality Control/Process Performance and Quality Reliability Simulation Statistics The Transportation Model Waiting Lines Work Measurement/Measuring Output Rates Appendices A.
