Operations Management. How does an organisation... Create and deliver products at lower cost and with higher revenue? Meet the challenges posed by
changes in customer preferences, internet-based technologies
Les mer... and global supply networks? Promote creativity, manage knowledge
and innovation, and encourage social responsibility in finding solutions to those challenges? The answer is through effective
operations management. Managing operations is important, exciting and challenging, and it's central to successful organisational
performance. In this market-leading text, Slack, Chambers and Johnston bring to life their comprehensive, practical and strategic
view of operations management with over 100 contemporary and international examples of operations in practice, as well as
providing critical commentaries on areas of academic contention and professional debate.Tracking the latest developments
in the field, the fifth edition of "Operations Management" examines issues such as: supply-chain planning that enables the
'fast fashion' Zara, H&M and Benetton; how information technology helped the city of New Orleans in recovering from Hurricane
Katrina; the outsourcing of laptop manufacturing by Apple, Dell and Sony; and, the 'greening' of operations in Hewlett Packard's
recycling programme.
