Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This comprehensive text will introduce students to the many operations topics and issues faced by leading service and manufacturing organizations. An emphasis is placed on new developments in the field of operations management and new information resources available, such as the Internet, while retaining a strong focus on the fundamental concepts of operations management. The goal of this text is to help students gain an understanding of what operations management involves, how it relates to other functional areas in an organization, the types of problems that are faced by operations managers, and common decision-making approaches. Book News Annotation:New edition of a text that helps students build a foundation for
mastering production and operations management in both services and
manufacturing. Gaither (Texas A&M U.) and Frazier (U. of Texas at
Arlington) introduce the many operations topics and issues faced by
leading organizations, and address new developments (such as e-
business and the integration of Excel) and available information
resources. The 19 chapters cover an introduction to the field,
planning the strategic use of resources, managing operations in the
supply chain, and maintaining effective and efficient operations. The
included CD-ROMs allow students to solve computer-based problems and
cases found in the text.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Review:I am using the Gaither and Frazier textbook this semester because I was pleased to see a chapter on maintenance planning in an Operations Management book. By having the subject included in a textbook the students see that it is now important. I introduce engineering terminology such as MTBF, MTTR, and Availability measures. I feel it is important because these are specs purchasing agents or sales reps will need to become familiar with. This chapter should always be included in a course that teaches the concepts of JIT manufacturing. Synopsis:This comprehensive introduction to the concepts and techniques of operations management places importance on operations strategy early, with balanced coverage of quantitative techniques and managerial issues.
