Looking inside for the answers is what Operation Management is all about. Learn from world-leading experts Nigel Slack and Alistair Brandon-Jones and benefit from their wealth of experience, helping improve businesses of all shapes and sizes. Strategic in its perspective, the book offers a comprehensive and practical way to explore key concepts and see them into action through a plethora of international examples. What makes Operations Management, 9th edition work so well? - Clear structure (thanks to the '4 Ds' model of operations management) - Real-life examples provided in 'operation in practice' boxes and case studies - Worked example blend qualitative and quantitative perspective - Critical commentaries pose alternative views where appropriate - Summary answers to key questions presented as practical bullet points
