Operations Management: Sustainability and Supply Chain Management presents a state-of-the-art view of the activities of the operations function from a Canadian perspective. Operations is an exciting and dynamic area of management that has a profound effect on the productivity of both services and manufacturing. Indeed, few other activities have so much impact on the quality of your life. The goal of this book is to present a broad introduction to the field of operations in a realistic, meaningful, and practical manner. OM includes a blend of subject areas, including accounting, industrial engineering, management, management science, and statistics. Whether you are pursuing a career in the operations field or not, you will likely be working with people in operations. Therefore, having a solid understanding of the role of operations in an organization is of substantial benefit to you. This text will also help you understand how OM affects society and your life. Certainly, you will better understand what goes on behind the scenes when you buy a coffee at Tim Hortons, take a flight from Edmonton to Vancouver, place an order withAmazon.ca, or enter a Canadian hospital for medical care.
