What every MBA needs to know about OM
Operations is one of the most important factors in whether an organization survives in the international marketplace. While not everyone will be solving quantitative operations problems, every manager will confront important operations issues that will have a critical impact on the success of their organizations.
Revised to reflect the growing importance of soft and hard technologies, as well as the rise of service organizations and the global economy, this Third Edition of Jack Meredith and Scott Shafer's Operations Management for MBAs focuses on what MBAs need to know about operations in their careers. This includes:
* Six sigma improvement projects
* Project management
* Enterprise resource planning
* Lean management
* Outsourcing and offshoring
* Supply chain management
* Process design and planning
Emphasizing the strategic role of these operations topics, the authors keep the needs of marketing, finance and other majors in mind, and show how a basic understanding of operations is important to all career paths. The text's clear and concise overview of key concepts makes it the perfect complement to cases and readings on OM.
New Features of the Third Edition
* New chapter on Six Sigma.
* Expanded coverage of ERP, lean manufacturing, and outsourcing.
* A stronger emphasis on the strategic role of operations topics, including more strategic examples and expanded material in Chapter 2: Strategy, Operations, and Global Competitiveness.
* New appendix on Crystal Ball with two solved example problems.
* More service examples throughout the text.
* New international examples, as well as many revised problems and cases with an international focus.
Used for class
| Customer Rating:  | | This was the recommended text for a class. We didn't end up really using it much for the course, but it helped me find some general information for our final exam. |
Great Seller
| Customer Rating: | | The Book was as described by the seller. I use it for my course at the University. |
boring and outdated
| Customer Rating: | | This is the most boring book from the most boring class I have ever taken. Unless you are a manager in an 1800's era shoe factory, much of this material is mundane and outdated. But if you are in an MBA program, you probably have to take it regardless, so too bad for you. |
Excellent
