Abstract
It is always difficult to relate classroom teaching to practical problem solving in any area of management. This difficulty is even more pronounced in a factory where there are so many different activities going on at any one time. Above all else, the factory manager needs to know how to co‐ordinate the different activities, and this requires from him a good understanding of how these activities relate to each other and how they affect the overall performance of the company.
