The Jacobs cover illustration might be considered symbolic or representative of the core as well as the supply flow. Just as lava flows from the core of the earth, operations and supply management is the core of business. Materials must flow through supply processes to create cash output and profits. In Operations & Supply Chain Management: The Core, Canadian Edition, Jacobs takes students to the centre of business and focuses on the core concepts and tools needed to ensure that these processes run smoothly.

The Canadian Edition of The Core places an increased emphasis on supply chain management as well as attention to emerging trends and hot topics in Operations Management.

The use of applications through Canadian examples and real market situations helps students relate to OM concepts, while innovative technology, including Connect OM, supports student success in this course.
