Summary:How does an organisation ...*create and deliver products at lower cost and with higher revenue? *meet the challenges posed by changes in customer preferences, internet-based technologies and global supply networks? *promote creativity, manage knowledge and innovation, and encourage social responsibility in finding solutions to those challenges?

In this market-leading text, Slack, Chambers and Johnston bring to life their comprehensive, practical and strategic view of operations management with over 100 contemporary and international examples of operations in practice, as well as providing critical commentaries on areas of academic contention and professional debate.
