In the newly revised seventh edition of Managing Integrating the Supply Chain , a decorated team of operations experts delivers a thorough introduction to quality management with an enduring emphasis on the importance of the supply chain for quality improvement. You'll obtain an integrated understanding of the customers, suppliers, technology, and people essential to maintaining and enhancing product quality in business. This latest edition combines the unifying theme of the supply chain with the latest developments in critical subject areas, like Lean, Six Sigma, and service quality. Updated vignettes and references maintain the currency of the work, while new content expands its scope and increases readability and accessibility for students of operations, quality management, and business.
Definitely an interesting book. My favorite parts had to do with historical figures in Quality Management, the different awards and certificates, and the types of quality systems out there.
I finished this book about three weeks ago at the end of my course. After the first five or six chapters, it became much more informative. However, it is geared toward classroom study. Overall, I am satisfied with the information gained from the book, but I would not likely recommend it to individuals looking to learn about Supply Chain Management.
