The problems experienced in production have led to the need to rethink production systems and change the understanding of production management. The "Handbook of Applied Production Management", which includes this changing production structure that we can call mass production, will shed light on both those who want to work on this subject and our industrialists. Starting with product development, every subject related to production management contains applicable scientific theory. In addition, industrial applications are included in each chapter. Thus, the book has been given features that can be more easily grasped and thought about.
