exciting and vital field in today’s complex business world Therefore, students in both MBA and undergraduate courses have an urgent need to understand operations—an essential function in every business This textbook on operations management in the supply chain emphasizes decision making in operations with a supply chain orientation The text provides materials of interest to general business students and operations and supply chain management majors By stressing cross-functional decision making, the text provides a unique and current business perspective for all students This is the first text to incorporate cross-functional decision making in every chapter A unique decision framework organizes the material by grouping decisions into five major categories: process, quality, capacity, inventory, and supply chain This framework is intended to make it easy for students to understand the decision role and responsibilities of operations and supply chain management in relation to functions such as marketing and finance See the illustration below The text also provides a balanced treatment of both service and manufacturing firms We continue to emphasize operations in the supply chain with new chapters on sourcing and logistics The most current knowledge is incorporated, including global operations, supply chain management, e-operations, service blueprinting, competency-based strategy, Six Sigma, lean systems, 3D printing, sustainability, supply chain risk, and mass customization Complete coverage is also provided on traditional topics, including process design, service systems, quality management, ERP, inventory control, and scheduling While covering the concepts of operations and supply chain management in 18 chapters, the book also provides 18 case studies The cases are intended to strengthen problem formulation skills and illustrate the concepts presented in the text Long and short case studies are included The cases are not just large problems or examples; rather, they are substantial management case studies, including some from the Northwestern, Sheffield, Cranfield, and The Case Centre collections The softcover edition with fewer pages than most introductory books covers all the essentials students need to know about operations management in the supply chain, leaving out only superfluous and tangential topics By limiting the size of the book, we have condensed the material to the basics The book is also available for the first time in digital formats in Connect and LearnSmart versions Decision-making framework for operations in the supply chain Human Resources Suppliers Supply Chain Decisions Finance Process Inventory Information Systems Quality Marketing Customers Capacity Accounting vii viii Preface This book is ideal for regular operations management courses and also case courses and modular courses It is particularly useful for those who desire a cross-functional and ­decision-making perspective that reaches across the supply chain Instructors can easily supplement the text with their own cases, readings, or course materials as desired The Connect Library and Instructor Resources contain 20 Excel templates designed to assist in solving problems at the end of chapters and the case studies These resources also contain technical chapters on linear programming, simulation, transportation method, and queuing, which can be assigned by the instructor, if desired The resources have PowerPoint slides, solutions manual, the test bank, and web links to companies cited in the Student Internet Exercises in the text Access to these web resources can be obtained from your McGraw-Hill sales representative or directly in the Connect Library A number of pedagogical features are contained in this book x e cel ∙ Operations Leader boxes are included in each chapter to illustrate current practices being implemented by leading firms ∙ Each chapter contains at least three Student Internet Exercises These exercises allow for extended learning about concepts discussed in the chapter ∙ Points of cross-functional emphasis are noted in each chapter by a special symbol—a handshake This highlights the locations of cross-functional aspects of operations decisions ∙ Solved problems are included at the end of quantitative chapters to provide additional examples for students ∙ Excel spreadsheets are keyed to specific problems at the end of chapters KEY CHANGES IN THE SEVENTH EDITION This book is known for its decision orientation and case studies We have strengthened the decision-making framework by addressing new decisions in sourcing, logistics, sustainability, and global supply chains We also added new cases to address these decisions 1.  Supply Chain Management.  This edition added a new section on Supply Chain It contains two new chapters on Sourcing and Global Logistics The Sourcing chapter contains material on sourcing goals, outsourcing, offshoring, reshoring, supply base optimization, the purchasing cycle, and scorecard weighting The Global Logistics chapter contains material on the role of logistics, transportation modes, distribution centers, logistics ­networks, location, third-party logistics, and logistics strategy In addition, the Supply Chain Management chapter was moved to this section and updated to add a new section on supply chain risk and another new section on supply chain sustainability This edition now has the latest and best supply chain material available 2. Sustainability. More emphasis is given to sustainability It is now covered in the c­ hapters on The Operations Function, Operations and Supply Chain Strategy, Process Selection, and Supply Chain Management A new case study is added on Murphy Warehouse: Sustainable Logistics 3. Global. More material is provided on global operations and supply chains With the addition of the Sourcing and Global Logistics chapters, global emphasis now moves ­beyond operations to the entire supply chain New material on outsourcing, offshoring, and managing global supply chains has been added New cases on global sourcing, global plant location, and global logistics are added Preface ix 4.  Other Additions.  We have added materials on lean Six Sigma, 3D Printing, big data, analytics, ethics in sourcing, and disaster logistics 5.  Digital Versions.  Digital versions of the text in McGraw-Hill’s Connect and ­LearnSmart have been developed The Connect version provides a complete course management system for the instructor and pdf content for students It can be used to customize the course by selecting learning objectives for course coverage, using the test bank for multiple choice questions, automatic grading for selected quantitative problems, and access to all instructor support materials The LearnSmart version provides feedback to students via multiple choice probes for each learning objective The student is directed to return to readings where retention is weak 6.  Cases.  Eighteen case studies are provided including cases from The Case Centre, and Northwestern, Sheffield, and Cranfield Universities Existing cases have been revised to add current information Ten new cases are added: Altimus Brands: Managing Procurement Risk; Murphy Warehouse Company: Sustainable Logistics; Polaris Industries Inc.—Global Plant Location; Shelter Box: A Decade of Disaster Relief; The Westerfield Physician Practice: Value Stream Mapping; Journey to Perfect: Mayo Clinic and the Path to Quality; The Evolution to Lean Six Sigma in 3M, Inc.; Sage Hill Above Onion Creek:
