Recenzii
Essential Operations Management tells the story of operations-for both products and services-in an appealing way suitable for introductory operations management classes. The text does a great job of building operational concepts from the ground up: starting with basic ideas, moving through some simple tools for design, planning and scheduling, and leaving the reader with ideas to improve operations. Each chapter is cleverly punctuated with case studies on timely themes that will interest students and promote engaging in-class discussions.
Still the one to beat in terms of exposition, elucidation, analysis and explanation of the essentials of operations management. It's now pedagogically even more useful due to better integration with its companion website.
