Since the beginning of mankind on Earth, if the "busyness" process
was successful, then some form of benefit sustained it. The
fundamentals are obvious: get the right inputs (materials, labor,
money, and ideas); transform them into highly demanded, quality
outputs; and make it available in time to the end consumer.
Illustrating how operations relate to the rest of the organization,
Production and Operations Management Systems provides an
understanding of the production and operations management (P/OM)
functions as well as the processes of goods and service producers.
The modular character of the text permits many different journeys
through the materials. If you like to start with supply chain
management (Chapter 9) and then move on to inventory management
(Chapter 5) and then quality management (Chapter 8), you can do so
in that order. However, if your focus is product line stability and
quick response time to competition, you may prefer to begin with
project management (Chapter 7) to reflect the continuous project
mode required for fast redesign rapid response. Slides, lectures,
Excel worksheets, and solutions to short and extended problem sets
are available on the Downloads / Updates tabs. The project
management component of P/OM is no longer an auxiliary aspect of
the field. The entire system has to be viewed and understood. The
book helps students develop a sense of managerial competence in
making decisions in the design, planning, operation, and control of
manufacturing, production, and operations systems through examples
and case studies. The text uses analytical techniques when
necessary to develop critical thinking and to sharpen
decision-making skills. It makes production and operations
management (P/OM) interesting, even exciting, to those who are
embarking on a career that involves business of any kind.
