The 5th edition of Operations Management continues to incorporate more of a business/qualitative focus with less emphasis on a quantitative presentation to OM. This new edition is focused on offering more problem solving hints and tips as part of the solution to most examples and solved problems throughout the book.
New content changes include an increased coverage of sustainability. Each chapter has a new section that features information on how sustainability is impacting the topic of that chapter. There is a new second virtual case on Healthcare and operations management.
More coverage of technology and technology examples via operations and supply chain management as well as many new/current examples such as JIT and how the automotive industry/supply chain was disrupted from the Japan earthquake.
Very good book. It gives you real life problems and examples of how to deal with such. Very easy reading and easy to understand the concepts. Some math is involved but for every new problem introduced there is an example of how to do it.
I needed this book for class, it arrived on time an is what i was looking for so its good.
