Case studies Every chapter includes a case study suitable for class discussion. The cases are usually short enough to serve as illustrations but have sufficient content also to serve as the basis of case sessions.
Illustrations-based Operations management is a practical subject and cannot be taught satisfactorily in a purely theoretical manner, so the book uses short operations in practice cases that explain some of the issues faced by real operations. UPDATED! Real-world examples: Operations management is a practical subject and cannot be taught satisfactorily in a purely theoretical manner. Because of this, each chapter starts with a real-life example of how the topic is treated in practice and provides additional examples in relation to specific issues within each chapter. In addition, you'll have access to Kortext's smart study tools including highlighting, notetaking, copy and paste, and easy reference export. The coverage of Lean Operations, which was included in the Deliver in previous editions, has been moved to the Develop part to reflects the change in how Lean is seen in the subject. Its emphasis has shifted more towards a holistic approach to operations and improvement. And, while its role in planning and control remains relevant, lean is increasingly seen as an improvement approach.
