Operations Management by Joel D Wisner

Operations Management by Joel D Wisner

This book makes the business case for operations management, underscoring how successful operations are critical to an organization’s strategic and financial success. It then outlines key operations processes i.e. managing capacity, managing customer relationships and service, managing demand and forecasting, and managing inventory.

"Let me start by saying that if DrWisner is able to produce the text outlined in the table of contents it will be a significant improvement over the vast majority of texts currently on the market. I liked the way everything fit together and flowed from one topic to the next. I also liked the fact that this text more closely matches what is currently happening in industry than other texts."

-- Scott Nadler

"The examples are great, I loved them. The material is current which is very important to me."

-- Ravi Narayanaswamy

"I think this book presents a good balance of qualitative and quantitative coverage. I like the approach. It is not too heavy into quantitative topics. I want the students to understand the whys of what we do more so than how we do the quantitative."

-- Norma Davis

"I think it is written very nicely, and it is easy to read. I like the flow of the text as well, and I also like the "breakout" cases within the text. I like how it speaks to current trends!"

-- Lisa Walters

"The textbook delivers what it promises. The materials take a supply chain process approach and links OM topics to important supply chain processes. A process-centric operations management is the key factor today where organizations need to come out of their traditional functional, silo-based infrastructure to process-based organizational infrastructure."

-- Asoke Dey

"The currency level is very high. I applaud the author′s effort in integrating so many recent examples and cases. Students will love these."

-- Lifang Wu

"The presentation of the materials is excellent!  The examples of the companies throughout the chapters are a fantastic way to get the messages across to the students.  This is the best operations book I have ever read."

-- Jerry Bilbrey
