Each chapter is structured logically and concludes with summary material to aid revision. Exercises and self-assessment questions are included to reinforce learning and maintain variety, with answers included at the end of the text.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“This is an excellent introductory text. It makes the principles of operations management accessible to a wide range of students by recognising the importance of operations management to services and the not for profit sector. It is well structured and written in a clear easy to read style, with helpful examples and case studies. By concentrating on the practice of operations management rather than quantitative methods and techniques it is likely to appeal to a wide audience. The book succeeds in achieving its stated objectives and is a welcome addition to the growing number of UK originated operations management texts.” David Barnes, Royal Holloway University
