The term production has its roots in studies of manufacturing and the term "operations" has become popular in recent years to reflect broader interests including services and distribution. This book provides the analytical methods used to support the functions of production and operations management. The text provides thorough coverage of the state of the art quantitative models used in operations, and yet it is presented in a clean, easy to understand fashion. It teaches higher level material (more than the traditional intro text), but lower than the traditional technical texts. The author's background and training in engineering combined with his teaching experience with non-mathematical business students are exemplified in the organization, choice of examples, and presentation of the text.

Nahmias and Olsen skillfully blend comprehensive coverage of topics with careful integration of mathematics. The authors' decades of experience in the field contributed to the success of previous editions; the eighth edition continues the long tradition of excellence. Clearly written, reasonably priced, with an abundance of expertly formulated practice problems and updated examples, this textbook is essential reading for analyzing and improving all facets of operations.Some of the material in the newest edition has been reorganized. For example, the first chapter introduces service strategy, the product/process matrix and flexible manufacturing systems, benchmarking, the productivity frontier, the innovation curve, and lean production as a strategy. The focus is slightly more international. The analysis of capacity growth planning now appears in the chapter on supply chain analytics. Aggregate planning details were added to chapter 3, including chase and level strategies in an appendix to the chapter. There is an expanded discussion on risk pooling in the chapter on supply chain strategy. The mechanics behind lean production are included in the chapter on push and pull production systems. The chapter on quality and assurance downplays sampling in favor of discussions of quality management, process capability, and the waste elimination side of lean. The separate chapter on facilities layout and location was eliminated and the information redistributed throughout the text.The authors reinforce the learning process through key points at the beginning of each chapter to guide the reader, snapshots that provide useful examples of applications to businesses, and historical notes that provide a context for the topics discussed. Production and Operations Analytics, 8/e provides the tools for adapting to the dynamic global marketplace.
