An excellent, easy to read book
We used this book as one of our texts while working on my MBA. It is very good, especially for someone who has a technical, non-manufacturing background. I highly recommend it.

EXCELLENT INTRODUCTION TO A TECHNICALLY CHALLENGING SUBJECT.
This is an excellent introduction to understanding the process and management of transforming inputs into useful outputs. While the subject is technical, the presentation makes it highly accessible. Major topics covered are: the nature of operations; business strategy and global competitiveness; quality management; product/service design; transformation system design; capacity and location planning; schedule management; materials management; supply chain management and just-in-time systems; and project management. Each chapter concludes with cases and questions that are open-ended, an approach to learning that is applied and appropriate for higher levels of learning. Definitions of key terms are embedded in the text. Reviewed by Yvette Borcia, Managing Partner, Stern & Associates, co-author of Stern's Sourcefinder: The Master Directory to HR and Business Management Information & Resources, Stern's CyberSpace SourceFinder, and Stern's Compensation and Benefits SourceFinder.
