How do you provide students with a detailed coverage of operations and supply chain management in one semester?

 

In the 2nd edition, the authors provide deeper coverage of important topics while maintaining a trim, integrated book.  It now provides substantial coverage of the major operations management topics and tools, while extending coverage to include core supply chain management issues.  NEW! topics include:

 

  • Supply-Chain Operations Reference model – This feature is introduced along with updated information on key professional groups in the operations and supply chain management areas; Pg. XX.
  • Service Blueprinting – The authors includes this discussion in Chapter 7, including an extended example that connects back to Chapter 3’s discussion of process mapping; Pg. XX.
  • Sourcing and Purchasing – Both topics are now covered in two chapters with additional coverage on portfolio analysis, spend analysis, and sustainable supply issues; Pg. XX.

 

Interested in integrating more Supply Chain Management coverage into your curriculum?  Why not your Operations Management course?

 

Integrated Operations & Supply Chain Management Approach. While a strong internal operations function is vital to a firm’s survival, it is not sufficient in today's business. This edition demonstrates how firms must also understand how to link with their supply chain partners. See inside Front Cover end-papers for integrated presentation.

 

Unique Chapters. Features two chapters not found in other operations Management texts.  Written to meet the needs of organizations that seek employees who have been exposed to traditional supply chain management areas such as purchasing and logistics.

 

  • Sourcing Decisions and the Purchasing Process (Ch. 10) describes the purchasing process in detail, as well as the factors that affect a firm's decision to source a product or service.
  • Logistics (Ch. 11) deals with the physical flow of goods throughout the supply chain, and covers such areas as transportation, warehousing, materials handling, packaging, inventory management, and logistics information systems.

 

OTHER POINTS OF DIFFERENTIATION

 

What is the benefit of analytical tools and techniques in your course?  How do they help students understand key topics?

 

A fundamental toolkit in this text can be applied in any manufacturing or service environment. Highlights of the coverage include:

 

  • Comprehensive coverage of traditional OM areas à Quality, capacity, queuing, forecasting, inventory, planning and control, and project management.
  • Tools and techniques are introduced within the context of the OM and SCM issues at hand.
  • Microsoft Excel spreadsheets are incorporated into the text and homework.
  • Optimization modeling  is discussed in a step-by-step fashion to show students how to develop and solve the assignment problem (Chapter 11) and the sales and operations problem (Chapter 12).

 

How do you select and assign homework problems to reinforce what you teach in class?

 

A brand NEW feature has been added to allow instructors to create different homework problems for different sections or even for different students.  Professors will now have an extra measure to guard against plagiarism.  Here’s how it works:

 

1.      Students access the book’s website and open Excel spreadsheets listed under the chapter assigned.

2.      Students then type in a four-digit number chosen by the instructor into the spreadsheet to re-parameterize the problem.

3.      The student prints out their customized homework set and solves the problems.

4.      The instructor uses an Excel-based key that use the same four-digit number to generate the correct answers.
