Operations Management
Today's managers need more than a clear understanding of what it takes to supervise
operations through quantitative techniques, technology, and processes. They also need to
learn how to effectively coordinate those operations across a global supply chain.
Operations Management: Creating Value Along the Supply Chain, Canadian
Edition provides a solid foundation for both qualitative and quantitative operations
processes, teaching students how to analyze operational processes designed to ensure
quality, create value, and optimize output in order to make organizations more successful.
The authors successfully make complex topics easy to understand with frequent real-world
examples, virtual online tours of service and production facilities and easy-to-understand
example problems. Available with WileyPLUS, an innovative research-based, online
environment for effective teaching and learning, students will be able to practice their
quantitative skills while in the context of the course's learning objectives.
