Production/manufacturing

I need to be fully educated on the topic "The uses of computer in production\manufacturing. And your book is the best bet.

You'd be shocked at what this could teach you

This is a prototype manual for Operations Management. It is clear and consise. This is a book that every manager should read, it is amazing to learn the correct techniques and skills that can be used to manage "lean". I use many of the included advice at a government golf course. In the span of roughly four years we lessened employment by over 50%, increased profit 350%, increased memberships 22%...This is just an example of the easy and smooth process that the book teaches. It is fluid and packed with valuable materials.

An Operations Manager Must Read!

I have used this book in class and find it to be outstanding. It is user-friendly for all audiences, instructors, students, CEOs, Operations Managers, and the 65% of the organization that must work with Operations Managers. It is filled with in-depth, but easy to understand examples for those who are not experts or currently working in the Operations Management function. However, it is a must read for the experts as it provides many insights on how your system should connect with other organizational functions, and recommendations as to how you can optimize your system. This book along with "The Goal" by Eli Goldratt is the perfect marriage for those serious about Production Operations Management.

An excellent Book

I have used this book in my operations management courses both, in undergraduate and graduate courses. What I liked more of this book is the wide range of examples provided, the solved problems and the quality of the materials that the book is made. I also liked The way that it present complicated matter in a simple way. I recomend it to those who needs a pragmatic approach on Production and operations management.

Very Good book for Business Mngt. Students

The book is well organized but it is very expensive. There are a lot of examples and explanations included.
