Synopsis
Contents are same as US/UK editions. This eighth edition is a substantial revision with many improvements while still maintaining its perspective on the big picture and strategic importance of operations within a business, as in the past seven editions. This timely and topical new edition is intended to help students become more effective managers in today’s competitive, global environment. Important highlights of the eighth edition New co-author Manoj Malhotra of University of South Carolina who is also consultant to many renowned corporations, has made valuable contributions which include: – Forceful discussion on the theory of constraint explaining how to identify and manage bottlenecks, with case studies. – Fresh managerial practice examples on Lean Systems with poka-yoke methods, Five S concept, and value stream mapping. Introduction of innovative GIS-based location methods using Microsoft MapPoint 2004 using videos. Introduction of six Managerial Challenge cases with accompanying video footage. The text is streamlined with substantial changes throughout the book, which includes reinforcement of two dominant themes of processes and value chains, presenting India and China as two notable countries affecting global competition, and many others. Design/format and organizations of the book lend a better understanding, e.g. central figure in the margins of each chapter’s introduction, the ‘boxed’ introduction itself which gives (in each chapter) down-to-earth situation, problem or example, for better mileage in understanding the topics discussed. The book’s rich set of pedagogical features including the various resources on the student CD-ROM and at Companion Website (www.prenhall.com/krajewski) allow students to enhance their understanding of the subject. The book is suitable for a course in operations management for both the management and engineering students.
