Principles of Operations Management

Summary: The best book in the field
Review: As a teacher of Ops Mgmt and former employee of digital equipment corporation where I was responsible for operations in our biggest expedition center in Europe I think this book is the best book in the world. It's lively and quick (as I'm myself) though It provides students with the knowledge they need. Regards.

Summary: Poorly written
Review: For a college profession thinking about choosing a text for this subject I urge you to skip this book. The book touches on many topics but does not explain them well. Examples are few and poorly explained. If a professor uses the test bank questions accompanied with this book urge the students to buy the study guide. Much of the material in the test bank questions is not covered in the text in the necessary detail if at all. A student who takes a test bank type test without the benefit of reviewing the study guide first will be severely handicapped.

Summary: A Good Text for Principles of Operations
Review: Heizer and Redner have put together a text that covers the essentials of Operations Management. The text is easy to read, yet covers material to whatever depth the instructor wants to take the class. The cases and examples offer 'real life'situations. I would recommend this text for any Introduction (Principles) of Operations Management.
