With some 40% new material, and every section revised, the second edition emphasizes practical requirements for the efficient and cost-effective use of the planning, control, and operational functions. Reflecting the increasing involvement of plant engineers in corporate management, the new edition also features additional coverage of managerial concerns, stressing maintenance and workplace safety in particular.
