Operations Management
Schroeder

Operations Management: Contemporary Concepts and Cases, is an ideal book for the instructor seeking a short text with cases. This book employs a cross-functional perspective, appealing to non-majors and practical for use in an MBA level course in operations management. The size and price of the book also make the text attractive for the cross-functional curriculum where students are required to purchase more than one text. The cases offer variety in length and rigor; and several are from Harvard and Darden. This mix makes the book appropriate for both undergraduates and MBA students.Four Chapters Thoroughly revised: *Strategy (Chapter 2)- Updated and Rewritten. *Processes (Chapte 7)- new flow-chart models and methods added. *Forecasting (Chapter 11)-new examples and methods incoporated. *MRP (Chatper 16)- rewritten to place greater emphasis on ERPThorough Updating of selected topics: * 50% revision and addition to internet exercises. *New quantitative problem sets. *Three new cases and updates of retained case studies. *New boxed inserts.New Topical Additions and Emphases: *More e-business applications *Greater emphasis on both Lean Operations and JIT *Expand coverage of Six SigmaUnified Decision Framework organizes decisions into four major categories: process, quality, capacity, and inventory.Cross-functional emphasis with a balance of manufacturing and service examples. Throughout the narrative, OM is discussed in relation to other organizational functions, with a wide variety of types of companies referenced.Robust Case studies contribute to the depth of student understanding.Each of these changes assures instructors that the text reflects the latest available information on OM; students are presented with information that reflects current industry practices.From the standpoint of both pedagogy and content, the new edition will have a current, contemporary "feel".All the current "hot topics" will be covered--offering incentive to customers to adopt.Students are able to see how operations decisions need to be made with reference to other functional areas of the organization.Makes the book more relevant to all business majors--not just those students majoring in operations management, or those returning students working in a particular type of industry.Unlike virtually all other OM textbooks, whose case studies are really nothing more than extended problems, this book features fully dimensional case students--some from Harvard--that encourage students to view operations holistically, within the entire context of an organization.
