The first three parts of the book thoroughly explain the basic content of operations management, and Part IV is available for readers to delve deeper into quantitative discussions. The book is not only suitable as a textbook for operations management courses for undergraduate management students and MBA students but also for professionals in manufacturing and service industries engaged in production and operations management.
