Managers face an infinite range of situations and problems that involve bringing materials and information together to produce and deliver goods and services to customers. In Hopp's solid, practical introduction to manufacturing and supply chain dynamics, managers learn how to use the scientific approachto understand 'why' systems behave the way they doas an effective way to deal with almost any scenario they may face.Written in a readerfriendly style, the text includes useful examples from manufacturers as well as service providers, presents the key concepts that underlie the behavior of operations systems in a largely nonmathematical way, contains illustrations and analogies to everyday life, links theory to practice, and reinforces the learning process with endofchapter 'Questions for Thought.'Titles of related interest also from Waveland Press: HoppSpearman, Factory Physics, Third Edition (ISBN 9781577667391) and NahmiasOlsen, Production and Operations Analysis, Seventh Edition (ISBN 9781478623069).Table of Contents 0.
