New, expanded and proven Review and Discussion Questions, Experiential Activities, Cases, Computational Problems and Exercises and Excel-Based Problems guide students in applying qualitative and quantitative reasoning with the latest operations management (OM) and supply chain management (SCM) concepts and tools. In addition, new content examines process analysis and resource utilization, analytics in OM, capacity measurement, applications of linear optimization and other leading topics. Students further their understanding with MindTap's new algorithmic exercises and interactive digital learning resources.
