The Nightmare.

Something I read for Operations classes during University.

Very complete. Highly technical. Exceedingly difficult.

Run for your lives. Save yourselves!

La Pesadilla.

Algo que leí para clases de Operaciones durante la Universidad.

Muy completo. Altamente técnico. Excesivamente dificultoso.

Corran por sus vidas. Sálvense!

In the 14th edition, the text, already considered a classic, is beginning to show signs of obsolescence. Its approach to Industry 4.0 is modest, limited in the context of regional operations and the need to provide an adequate framework for post-COVID management. Yes it´s time for a reengineering; cosmetic adjustments are no longer sufficient.

In investment project analysis, the approach is poor and misguided. It is unrealistic to assume uniform cash flows in operational projects, and ignores key aspects such as the today variability of reference rates or the recovery value of fixed assets. This is a reminder that OM experts should concentrate on writing about Operations, respecting other disciplines boundaries. What is the need?

However, it is undeniable that it remains a conceptually reliable book, well structured and with numerous and varied pedagogical resources. So, expected for a good textbook. The editional work is very well cared, and it is no coincidence that it remains as a best seller in Operations Management.

Despite some limitations, I still value this text. I have owned, read and kept 10 editions of H&R, and I will continue to recommend it, recognizing its legacy in the field.

Taking Operations Management class in College, this textbook provides a significant help in understanding about everything in Operations Management. Explained as clearly as possible with case studies each chapter, this book gives a clear insight to the role of Operations Management and what does it bring to the company.

Although many formulas and calculations with some statistics, I find this book to be 'understandable' for everyone to read. This is recommended for everyone who's going to undertake Operation Management class.

First of all, it's a Textbook, and this speaks for itself.
It's not exceptionally challenging, but what distinguishes this book is its comprehensiveness. Every essential topic concerning operations management is covered, and what's more, it comes with a Student Video Library (3 DVD's) and a CD-ROM. The videos are very good at helping someone to get a grasp on the cases, mentioned in the book.
There are solved problems, cases as well as references to Harvard Business School cases which, however, come only with a small fee. These, however, I liked most, because they enabled me to develop a full understanding and a more in-depth insight on the subject matter.
A small drawback is that I couldn't get solved problems for the additional problems in the book so that I couldn't check my results.
All in all, this textbook brought my understanding of operations to a whole new level, and this is the reason for me to rate it with five stars.

Very comprehensive, illustrations and diagrams very appropriate and updated. I also love 'ethical dilemma' at the end of every chapter - thought provoking and practical. I highly recommend this book to every professional working in an organization, any organization, whether part of operations or otherwise.

It presented the material in straightforward and easy to understand language. That’s pretty much the best thing you can hope for in a text book. Very happy with the results.

A very clear overview of operations management. I used it in lieu of the next edition and didn't have any issues in class.

If you are Engineering students which studying about Industrial activity or maybe have any interest in all about Industrial's stuff, you could pick this books for your reading list to developing your knowledge. This books really cool and easily understand. And also, there is some illustration which represent the industrial activity in the world. But, if you wish to get any formula to solving your problem about Industrial's stuff, too bad. You can't get the specific information about that in this books.
