Challenging, because solutions must be must be financially sound, resource-efficient, as well as environmentally and socially responsible

And everywhere, because in our daily lives, whether at work or at home, we all experience and manage processes and operations. Clear Structure: The structure of the book uses the 4 Ds model of operations management that distinguishes between the strategic decisions that govern the direction of the operation, the design of the processes and operations that create products and services, planning and control of the delivery of products and services, and the development, or improvement of operations UPDATED! Key Operations Principles: Whenever a core idea of operations and process management is described in the text, a brief ‘operations principle’ summary is included in the margin. This helps to distil those essential points of the topic.

The coverage of Lean Operations, which was included in the Deliver in previous editions, has been moved to the Develop part to reflects the change in how Lean is seen in the subject. Its emphasis has shifted more towards a holistic approach to operations and improvement. And, while its role in planning and control remains relevant, lean is increasingly seen as an improvement approach. NEW! Case studies and boxed examples throughout the text to ensure the content remains relevant and engaging to students

Critical commentaries Not everyone agrees about what is the best approach to the various topics and issues with operations management, so critical commentaries pose alternative views to the one being expressed in the main flow of the text. Illustrations-based Operations management is a practical subject and cannot be taught satisfactorily in a purely theoretical manner, so the book uses short operations in practice cases that explain some of the issues faced by real operations. This text presents both a logical path through the activities of operations management and an understanding of the strategic context in which operations managers work. It features worked examples of techniques discussed in the text The Operations in Practice examples have been extended and refreshed throughout the book, and of the more than 100 examples, around 50% are new to this edition.

Case studies Every chapter includes a case study suitable for class discussion. The cases are usually short enough to serve as illustrations but have sufficient content also to serve as the basis of case sessions.

UPDATED! Critical commentaries: Not everyone agrees about what is the best approach to the various topics and issues within the subject, so the end of each chapter includes a ‘critical commentary’. These are alternative views to the one being expressed in the main flow of the text. UPDATED! Real-world examples: Operations management is a practical subject and cannot be taught satisfactorily in a purely theoretical manner. Because of this, each chapter starts with a real-life example of how the topic is treated in practice and provides additional examples in relation to specific issues within each chapter. Worked examples Operations management is a subject that blends qualitative and quantitative perspectives, so worked examples are used to demonstrate how both types of technique can be used.

UPDATED! Clear structure based on practical diagnostic logic: The text is structured on a model of operations management that distinguishes between activities that contribute to the direction, design, delivery and development of operations and processes. Every chapter follows a series of questions that forms a ‘diagnostic logic’ for the topic. These are the questions that anyone can ask to reveal the underlying state of their, or any other, operations. The questions provide an aid to diagnosing where and how an operation can be improved. urn:lcp:operationsmanage0003slac_l0x4:epub:938ed581-fa74-48ef-b674-b2b2e5b3a341 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier operationsmanage0003slac_l0x4 Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t6n10v020 Invoice 1652 Isbn 0273646575 NEW!
