In this textbook, Materials management includes all activities in the flow of Materials from the supplierto the consumer. Such activities include physical supply, operations planning and con-trol, and physical distribution. Other terms sometimes used in this area are businesslogisticsandsupply chain management.

7 Often, the emphasis in business logistics is ontransportation and distribution systems with little concern for what occurs in the fac-tory. Whereas some chapters in this text are devoted to transportation and distribu-tion, emphasis is placed on operations planning and and operations are managed by planning and controlling the flowof Materials through them and by using the system s resources to achieve a desiredcustomer service level. These activities are the responsibility of Materials manage-ment and affect every department in a manufacturing business. If the materialsmanagement system is not well designed and managed, the distribution and manufac-turing system will be less effective and more costly.

8 Anyone working in manufacturingor distribution should have a good basic understanding of the factors influencingmaterials flow. This text aims to provide that defines the body of knowledge, concepts, and vocabulary used in pro-duction and inventory control. Establishing standard knowledge, concepts, andvocabulary is essential both for developing an understanding of production andinventory control and for making clear communication possible. Where applicable,the definitions and concepts in this text subscribe to APICS vocabulary and first six chapters of Introduction to Materials Managementcover the basics ofproduction planning and control.
