This is a pretty lousy textbook. The book is so superficial that it does not really prepare anyone for working in manufacturing and logistics in the industry. The accompanying DVD of videos are likewise commercials for the companies they study. The Science Channel "How it is Made" is a better view into the manufacturing process.

Concepts are presented comprehensively with current examples and scenarios.

A decent textbook. No major issues and was satisfactory for an Operations course. It read easily, which for a textbook, is a major plus.

[Textbook] Mr. Jacobs is a Faculty member of the Kelley School of Business (IU) where I'm studying part-time. I enjoy seeing our Faculty effectively represented in the selection of textbooks we use.

This textbook is chock-full of material and learning aids. Several strategic models are quite useful and the text is supported throughout with exercises.

An excellent, MBA level book on supply chain and operations. The book covers a lot of ground on operations management, particularly relevant for factory managers.
A prerequisite for taking full advantage of this book is knowledge on statistics concepts, or more specifically, statistics for business.

The content is good but the subject matter is boring for me.

Fine principles, but dreadful presentation.
