No boundaries!!!  2008-09-26
This book gave me an opportunity to discover a diferent view of the operations management. The development of my career in the company where I've been working for the last five years increases my knowledge and experience to manage a munltinational company.
Definitely geared toward manufacturing sector.  2007-08-06
Very repetitive information, which may or may not be a good thing. If you like to skip around a lot, it will be good, because each chapter gives you a tiny background that you will need for the subject matter in that specific chapter. Unlike the other review, I felt that the example problems were terrible. They didn't cover the variables present in the chapter end problems, they were not clearly set off from the text, and they were short on explanation as to why they were using the formulas that they were using. Many of the examples were shown in exhibits that covered several pages, meaning you had to page back and forth to figure things out, which was a pain. Probably the best sections were the technical notes, which were every few chapters. These provided a more practical approach instead of tons of theory and information you'll never use.
Probably the best thing were the definitions, which were highlighted in the text and provided in a summary at the end of the chapter.
Overall, if you are seriously into the manufacturing side of production, it is OK, but if you want good examples to show you the application of what you are supposed to be learning, find a different book.
Honestly, it felt as if the authors couldn't figure out it they were gearing this book toward a production manager or a general business manager, therefore tried to shove everything possible into one long, long, long wordy book. I think they must have been paid by the word. :)
The same as the most recent edition with little changes  2007-01-03
