博客來This remarkable volume highlights the importance of production and operations management as a field of study and research contributing to substantial business and social growth. The editors emphasize how production and operations management works with a range of systems—agriculture, disaster management, e-commerce, healthcare, hospitality, military systems, not-for-profit, retail, sports, sustainability, telecommunications, and transport—and how it contributes to the growth of each.
Starr and Gupta gather an international team of over sixty-five experts to provide researchers and students with a panoramic vision of the production and operations management field. Divided into eight parts, the book establishes the foundation upon which production and operations management has been built, while also revisiting and revitalizing topics that have long been essential. It then combines practical skill with philosophy in its analysis of production and operations management, including traditional and non-traditional applications, before concluding with the editors’ thoughts on the future of the discipline. Detailed equations and useful diagrams combined with modern examples such as Apple and Disney will contextualize theory for readers, and provide a useful starting point for research.
Students of production and operations management will find this a comprehensive, definitive resource on the state of the discipline and its future directions.
