Cases in Operations Management
Featuring case studies from varied settings with strong grounding in real-world decisions, this text illustrates basic concepts while expanding students' understanding of economic, political and cultural concerns that must be interwoven into such key areas as process design, quality and supply chain management.
Foundations of Operations Management
There are three main goals for this [book]. [The] first goal is to help students become effective managers in today's competitive, global environment. They discover the challenge of both managing activities throughout the organization, and how the operations function fits into the organization. Second, [the authors] seek to help students discover the excitement of the dynamic field of operations management (OM). [The authors offer] examples at numerous firms that bring operations alive, presenting new technologies for enhancing decision-making and data gathering, and including realistic cases that encourage open debate of important issues. Third, to put the subject in appropriate context, [the authors] want students to understand what managers do about processes, to realize that operations management involves many cross-functional links, and to learn more about the tools that managers can use to make better operating decisions.-Pref.
Closed-Loop Supply Chains
Closed-loop supply chain activities such as remanufacturing, recycling, dismantling for spare parts, and reverse logistics have helped many companies tap into new revenue streams by finding secondary markets for their products, all while reducing their overall carbon footprint. Written by academic experts, in language that is accessible to practitioners, this authoritative resource examines recent research and case studies of companies running profitable reuse/remanufacture operations in various industries. It illustrates profitable practices in returned and recovered products, clearly explaining how to: design a reverse logistics network, conduct production planning, implement effective marketing strategies, and apply closed-loop supply chain strategies in industries besides manufacturing. From product development to materials to assembly and profitability, this complete resource explores the impact of these processes across all aspects of the supply chain.
