Title overview

Operations Management provides a framework for addressing operational processes and supply chain issues. Using a systemized approach, the text focuses on real-world issues and strategies, while offering the hands-on practice needed to take on managerial roles.

The 14th Edition was revised to accommodate courses with varying durations and types of coverage. It features a brand-new Chapter 2 on operations strategy, a rework of Chapters 13 to 15, and a reordering of all chapters for ease of teaching and learning.

New content shows how businesses and business professionals can respond to transformative events, such as COVID-19, inflation and the Ukraine–Russia war, among other international developments.
