Good Introduction for the Beginner

A nice overview of production and operations management with numerous real-world examples. Unfortunately, it could have been written in many less pages and could have given more details in their case examples. On several examples they simply stated that company "x" uses this method and save "x" dollars, making them "world class." I think the authors could have gone into a little more details about the strengths and weaknesses of many of the methods and equations they present. Although I critical of how it could have been better, it is very readable, which is very commendable on a subject that can be extremely boring to read. Good introductory book!

One of the best books I have ever seen on this matter

An incredible well documented and written book although several references to magazines like Business Week are not correct. Ernesto Botero A college teacher in Colombi
