Do you emphasize business processes (i.e. how things are all part of a system and work together in order to gain competitive advantages)?

• Processes and Value Chains Theme
  • Weave a central theme throughout the text to demonstrate that processes and value chains are vital to a firms’ success and relevant to all functional areas of a business. A central figure is introduced in every chapter to help student make this connection.

With job opportunities moving from manufacturing to a more service driven economy, would you be interested in a book that has a better service integration?

• New Service Cases and Videos
  • With the increase in job opportunities in the service sector, the new edition features an inside look at one of the world’s largest hotel companies, Starwood. In the chapters listed below, an in-text case, called a “Managerial Challenge,” highlights how Starwood is applying operational concepts from that chapter.
    • Ch1:  Operations as a Competitive Weapon
    • Ch3:  Project Management
    • Ch5:  Process Analysis
    • Ch6:  Process Performance and Quality
    • Ch10: Supply Chain Strategy
    • Ch14: Sales and Operations Planning
  • There is a corresponding video for each of these cases, however the cases are written so that they can be used with or without the videos.  Each video also includes a unique feature that offers the instructor an opportunity to “pause” the video and stimulate a discussion in the classroom on what recommendations the students would make based on Starwood’s situation.  After that discussion, the instructor can “resume” the video to show what Starwood actually decided and why.

•  Video Bookwrap showcases the authors discussing the key revision highlights featured in the new edition.

OTHER POINTS OF DIFFERENTIATION

Do you integrate a variety of real business examples to show relevance?

• Managerial Practice
  • Provide current examples of how companies- either successfully or unsuccessfully- deal with process and value chain issues facing them as they run their operations.

Do you use the same company/example to connect key points during the course?

• Managerial Challenge
  • Showcase a running in-text case of how Starwood, one of the largest hotel companies, is applying an operational concept from that chapter. Discussion questions are included for classroom discussion or assignment purposes.

What type of problems do you do in class? Do you walk through the specific solution steps to ensure your students can replicate these techniques when they practice or prepare for your homework assignments?

• Examples
  • Demonstrate how to apply what they have learned and walk students through the solution process. These examples always close with a unique feature called a “Decision Point” to focus students on the decision implications for managers.

• Student CD. This valuable resource includes many chapter resources, problem solving software, and additional case material to bring the concepts to life.

         Chapter Resources:

• Key Equations highlights key equations from the chapter in a chapter specific word file
• Written Tour includes a two-page spreads that help students visualize the facilities of King Soopers Bakery related to material in chapter 4.
• Textbook Supplements include additional topical coverage on: Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Learning Curve Analysis, Measuring Output Rates, Acceptance Sampling Plans, and Financial Analysis.  

        Software Resources

• OM Explorer: This text specific software package resembles an Excel worksheet.  It includes tutors, solvers, and additional exercises.
  • Tutors provide coaching for over 60 analytic techniques presented in the text. Each tutor is identified in the margin with the following “insert icon here” icon and accompanies a particular example.  The tutor also provides additional examples for learning and practice.
  • Tutor Exercises pose different questions and can be answered with one or more of the tutor applications.
  • Solvers provide general purpose routines often encountered in practice.  These are great for experiential exercises and homework problems.
• POM for Windows: POM for Windows, long the leading OM Decision Support Software for educational use, is now available at no additional cost on every Student CD.  This easy-to-use Windows based software covers 24 common OM techniques.
• SimQuick is an Excel spreadsheet with several macros. 
  • SimQuick Exercises allow students to create models using the exercises in many of the chapters to simulate the problems addressed in the chapter.
• Active Models include 29 spreadsheets.  Students will evaluate different situations based on the same problem scenario.
• Extend LT is a graphic simulation program. Students will use the models to answer questions regarding eight case problems.
• MS MapPoint 2004  Chapter 11 (Location) has new exercises based on Microsoft MapPoint that allows students to visually display location related geodemographic data and make related location decisions.   For example, a student can see how Starbucks could use GIS software to make store location decisions that value high income customer densities over high population densities.
• SmartDraw allows students to draw process flow charts, organizational charts, and other diagrams and figures to support their analysis of problems in the text (downloadable from website).

• Chapter 7: Constraint Management. Enhances the discussion of the theory of constraints, explains how to identify and manage bottlenecks, and introduces bottleneck-based product-mix selection techniques that dovetail with the Min-Yo Garment Company Experiential Learning Exercise.
• Chapter 9: Lean Systems. This chapter is moved forward in the book, for better visibility. Adds fresh Managerial Practices and connects lean systems with poka-yoke methods, the “Five S” concept, and value stream mapping. These changes help tie together the first 9 chapters of the book, and reinforce the notion of viewing operations from a process management perspective, which then transitions to managing value chains in part 2 of the book
• Chapter 11: Location. This chapter is now much more contemporary and hands-on oriented with a strong decision making orientation. It introduces such innovations as GIS based location methods using Microsoft MapPoint 2004 and videos on its use, along with new location examples and a new end of chapter case
• Other Chapters. Manoj's inputs and revisions are found throughout the whole book, making it even more teachable. For example, contrast pp. 601-607 in the 7^th edition with the new section in Chapter 14, “Sales and Operations Management.” It is now more streamlined and transparent, without loss of content. The new edition introduces Drum Buffer and Rope systems and an associated new Managerial Practice in Chapter 15, “Resource Planning”. Additionally, Chapter 4 “Process Strategy” and Chapter 5 “Process Analysis,” also contain many small changes initiated by Manoj that have a large cumulative effect on the 8^th edition’s pedagogical quality and innovativeness
