Managing Operations Across the Supply Chain, 1st Edition, Morgan Swink

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0073403318/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0073403318&linkCode=as2&tag=freemanagementzon-20


Managing Operations Across the Supply Chain is the first book to offer a global, supply chain perspective of operations management – a treatment that embraces the foundations of operations management but includes new frameworks, concepts, and tools to address the demands of today and changing needs of the future. It reflects three key shifts in operations management:

1. From a focus on the internal system to a focus on the supply chain
2. From a local focus to a global focus
3. From an emphasis on tools and techniques to an emphasis on systems, people, and processes

There are errors in the book (more than there should be). Also, there are steps left out when the book is trying to explain how to solve a problem.

Please fix now. It somehow doesn't work well on Android devices. It always said "incompatible with this device." :( Anyone with a Samsung Note 2 should NOT buy this ebook.

Who doesn't like managing operations across a supply chain? Helped me ace my class and that is all I needed from it.

Clean book and would buy from this seller again. I do like the outline of the book and the side notes in the margins which helps with quick reviews and homework.

I purchased this book for a college course. It's your average textbook and nothing is really that special about it. I'm not a huge fan of the book because it's not an exciting read for me at all. It got me through the course though so I guess that's a plus!

I assumed the book, if bought new, would include the DVD (required for the class I'm taking). Once I received the book I found out the DVD was not included. To be fair, Amazon never said the DVD was included, and I think the publisher does not automatically include the DVD if not specifically requested. While I blame this problem on the publisher, I think Amazon should be aware of the problem and require the publisher to include the DVD.
