Value-Driven Operations Management: An Integrated Modular Approach

The scope of what we call operations management has expanded and diversified in the last 15 years. This growth has affected not only what is covered, but also how it is covered, and how this material is delivered to students. Value-Driven Operations Management is an innovative, modular text that presents an alternative designed to meet the challenge posed by professors of operations management who have voiced the need for an expansive, easily updated, customize-able treatment of operations management content. This "ground-breaking" modular text allows instructors to take total advantage of the many diverse approaches to teaching operations management in the new millennium. This is accomplished by offering modules covering both traditional and emerging topics in operations management, along with an introductory group of modules defining the theme of “value” that serves as a unifying framework for the series. A selection of frequently used quantitative “tools" rounds out the series, offering a complete course solution for virtually any operations management course. The modules are customized via an innovative web-based tool and printed on-demand.
