This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This remarkable volume highlights the importance of Production and Operations Management (POM) as a field of study and research contributing to substantial business and social growth. The editors emphasize how POM works with a range of systems—agriculture, disaster management, e-commerce, healthcare, hospitality, military systems, not-for-profit, retail, sports, sustainability, telecommunications, and transport—and how it contributes to the growth of each. Martin K. Starr and Sushil K. Gupta gather an international team of experts to provide researchers and students with a panoramic vision of the field. Divided into eight parts, the book presents the history of POM, and establishes the foundation upon which POM has been built while also revisiting and revitalizing topics that have long been essential. It examines the significance of processes and projects to the fundamental growth of the POM field. Critical emerging themes and new research are examined with open minds and this is followed by opportunities to interface with other business functions. Finally, the next era is discussed in ways that combine practical skill with philosophy in its analysis of POM, including traditional and nontraditional applications, before concluding with the editors’ thoughts on the future of the discipline. Students of POM will find this a comprehensive, definitive resource on the state of the discipline and its future directions.

Therefore, in the first part theoretical models are used to solve issues concerning sourcing and supply chain management. Later in the term paper the theoretical adjustments and improvements are combined with a linear programming approach, to create a more practical approach. Alpha is an internationally operating company and so is their supply chain. The firm contains of two manufacturing locations, one in Germany and one in India. The German plant mainly manufactures products for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Simultaneously, Alpha’s Indian production location serves the Asian market. In order to get a tighter connection to their customers and achieve higher margins, Alpha recently dismissed all their intermediate dealers. This strategical adjustment provides them with the opportunity to bring their company closer to the customer and to achieve a deeper insight about their behaviors and needs, by simultaneously accomplishing some financial benefits.

The author demonstrates that many problems are common to different types of manufacturing enterprises and offers practical solutions which can lead to a dramatic increase in overall performance.

Download or read book Operations Management written by Michael A. Lewis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operations Management (OM) is a multi-faceted blend of myriad academic andpractical disciplines – from engineering and economics via mathematics and marketing, to systems and psychology. To capture the state of the art, the bookreviews contemporary and classic scholarship in one of the oldest business and management disciplines. To offer the reader a thought-provoking point of entry into the selected sources, the book curates its content as an imaginary exhibit, eachchapter a thematic OM ‘gallery’ (process; planning and control; people; strategy and measurement; technology) introduced by a description of some extraordinary artefacts, paintings, sculptures and architecture. The content has been curated around three principles intended to benefit the casual reader and both new and established OM scholars. First, it incorporates works that build on, or help to distinguish, fundamental tenets from more transitory fads. Second, the text makes significant efforts to try and balance the gravitational pull of the factory, (even though this may not offer an accurate representation of the majority of the field) and third, to try to keep managerial rather than technical/ analytical concerns to the fore. This concise book provides a useful overview of current and classic OM research. Written by a leading authority, it is intended to be a valuable and engaging resource for both students and scholars of business.
Download or read book Production and Operations Management written by Martin K. Starr and published by Atomic Dog Publishing. This book was released on 2004-03 with total page 884 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text has been developed through extensive research to reflect both the new practices and traditional concepts that instructors feel are important for students to know. Starr uses real-world themes such as quality, technology, people and teamwork, globalization, service and manufacturing, environmental awareness and initiatives, and problem solving. Four real-world cases are included spotlighting Tom's of Maine, Rosenbluth International, Global Concepts Inc. at Celestica's Facility in Little Rock, and the Saturn Corporation on quality, service, smart technology, and the environment, respectively. This text follows a systems approach that is both systematic and constructive. Starr integrates OM decisions with the functional areas of business whose challenge is to make the firm perform as a team. It combines the methods of analysis and synthesis, which lead to better decisions and problem-solving skills for complex situations.
Download or read book Perspectives in Operations Management written by Rakesh K. Sarin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 1992 a conference honoring Elwood S. Buffa was held at the Anderson Graduate School of Management of the University of California, Los Angeles. This book is a collection of the work presented at that conference. The scholars who gathered to honor El are the prominent researchers in the field of Operations Management. Their collective work published in this book represents the richness of the field and provides the reader with valuable insights into its important issues and problems. While any grouping of the articles by these distinguished scholars will be arbitrary, I have organized the book in four sections. In the first section the articles dealing with the strategic issues in Operations Management are compiled. The articles deal with continuous improvement, quality, services, supply chain management, and creating value through operations. The articles that explore the interface of Operations Management with other functional areas, e.g. engineering and marketing, are grouped in the second section. The third section of the book contains articles that attempt to model some important planning problems that arise in the management of production and operations. Some of the papers in this section provide state of the art reviews of selected topic areas. Finally, the fourth section contains articles that deal with future directions for Operations Management. The authors offer several insights into the future evolution of the field. The book begins with the keynote address given by El Buffa at the start of the conference on November 2, 1991.
