In Version 3, we collapsed the three former Windows products into one product named POM-QM for Windows. Version 2 of all three programs was created for Windows 95 and distributed in the fall of 1999. DS for Windows, which contained all of the modules in both POM and QM and also came with a printed manual, was first distributed in 1997. The first Windows version, QM for Windows (Version 1.0), was distributed in the summer of 1996 whereas a separate but similar program, POM for Windows (Version 1.1), was first distributed in the fall of 1996. Subsequent DOS versions were titled AB:POM. The first version of this software was a DOS version published in 1989 as PC-POM. This includes Production and Operations Management, Quantitative Methods, Management Science, or Operations Research. 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. 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. 198 Work Measurement/Measuring Output Rates. 167 Quality Control/Process Performance and Quality. 151 Material Requirements Planning/Resource Planning. 109 Job Shop Scheduling (Sequencing)/Scheduling.
