Operations Management, 4th Edition International Student Version

To do their jobs effectively, all managers need to know about operations and have an up-to-the-minute resource that arms them with the latest information to help them succeed. revised to include current information and relevant examples, this Fourth Edition of Jack Meredith and Scott Shafer's Operations Management for MBA's has been completely reorganized to focus on the most recent thrusts of operations management.
