Operations Management: An Integrated Approach provides a state-of-the-art account of the systems, processes, people and technology that determine an organisation’s strategy and success. With contributions from leading experts internationally, the text takes a comprehensive, comparative, and best-practice approach and applies this specifically to the Asia-Pacific region. Rigorous in scholarship yet eminently accessible in style, Operations Management is replete with pedagogical features figures and tables, discussion exercises, 'Learnings from the Internet', and a diversity of long and short case studies from aroundthe world. Students are taken on a seamless journey from the fundamentals of operations management, through to the multiple approaches, the various innovations, challenges and risks, and ultimately to models of sustainability and evaluative tools and techniques. The text effectively prepares future managers across every sector of the economy - whether in services, manufacturing, profit or non-profit environments - to lead, organise, plan and control a set of resources, in pursuit of identified goals. The book will be supported by an extensive companion website featuring PowerPoint slides for each chapter, sample answers, teaching notes, additional case studies and experiential exercises/games.
