Operations Management: Contemporary Concepts and Cases

By Roger G. Schroeder

Book Overview

"Operations Management: Contemporary Concepts and Cases," is an ideal book for the instructor seeking a short text with cases. This book employs a cross-functional perspective, appealing to non-majors and practical for use in an MBA level course in operations management. The size and price of the book also make the text attractive for the cross-functional curriculum where students are required to purchase more than one text. The cases offer variety in length and rigor; and several are from Harvard and Darden. This mix makes the book appropriate for both undergraduates and MBA students.

Pero al tiempo, se ha perdido el detalle que tuvo su otra versión (Operations Management - Administración de Operaciones en el mundo hispano)...

A good supplementary text

Schroeder has written a very good broad,introductory text that can be effectively used in three different ways.The book can be used as an introduction to operations management for non business or liberal arts majors.The second way that the book can be used is as a supplement to the Knod-Schonberger book or the Stevenson book.The management case studies section at the end of the book is excellent .However, it is not recommended...

A very didactic book

The book presents a very interesting and didactic structure to study the production systems, with a matrix including the operations flow view (lineal, batch or proyect) and the order production system view (when specifications are defined by customer or defined by the producer).
