About this deal

The topic of lean is simultaneously conceived as a broad 'philosophy of operations' as well as a very narrow process improvement method. It is of course, both of these things. Operations Managers can use this Operations Management book as a resource that will enhance their experiences with relevant examples and discussions. This fourth edition arms them with the information needed to succeed. The material has been completely reorganized with a focus on the current thrusts of operations management. Several case studies have been added to show how the concepts are applied on the job. In addition, the heavier quantitative material is minimized to provide every supply chain professional with just the attention needed to illustrate a particular concept. The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Those who launch radical change programs and wrenching restructurings will almost certainly fail to make the leap.

Frankly, as soon add you have two things to do stored in your RAM, you’ve generated personal failure, because you can’t do two things at the same time. This produces an all-pervasive stress factor whose source can’t be pin-pointed.” Excellent book. Highly recommend. Compared and contrast with academic books used in universities – and this was excellent” – DaveIndy on June 15, 2017 12. Operations Management: An Integrated Approach

I have read this book and it is unquily written. In my opinion this should always be part ofoperations management textbooks. Notable Quote: ”The more the manager takes ‘easy choices’ by sacrificing clarity, fairness or consistency, the more his subordinates will take ‘easy choices’ themselves by sacrificing performance, quality and teamwork.”
