Synopsis

Through a collection of curated readings, Basics of Operations Management introduces students to fundamental concepts within the discipline.

The book is organized into eight learning modules that build upon each other to provide students with a foundational understanding of operations management. Each module begins with an introduction and learning objectives, ends with discussion or practice questions and, if applicable, links to sample classroom activities that have proven effective in helping students understand and apply the operational concepts.

Opening modules introduce students to operations management and the supply chain, address capacity and demand management, and discuss facility location and layout.
