Editorial Reviews
Review
David Bennett, Aston Business School, Aston University
′Using interesting examples and a relaxed style, this book is a very readable and useful resource for students and academics who wish to understand not only the basic tools and techniques of operations, but also to see how modern operational practices have developed, by setting them within their historical, theoretical and conceptual context′ –
Melanie Hudson-Smith, Lecturer in Operations Management, Plymouth Business School
