Taking an integrative, cross-functional approach, the Second Edition of Operations Management demonstrates the critical impact OM has in today’s organizations, and shows how it relates to every functional area. Authors R. Dan Reid and Nada R. Sanders provide clear, focused, and highly engaging coverage of key OM topics, and make strong connections across concepts:

Cross-functional icons highlight discussion in the text on how operations and other functions interact.

OM Across the Organization boxes at the end of every chapter summarize how each chapter’s concepts are related to the key business functional areas.

New Inside OM end-of-chapter sections describe how chapter topics are related to other OM decisions.

• Unique chapter-opening vignettes first introduce the material with a personal example that students can relate to, and then move into a business example to place the topic in context.

The Virtual Company consulting case helps tie all the topics together.
