Riassunto

Cachon 1e is designed for undergraduate students taking an introductory course in operations management. This text will share many of the strengths of Matching Supply with Demand: An Introduction to Operations Management (3e).

Operations Management by Cachon comprehensively spans the relevant domain of topics, is accessible to a typical undergraduate student (i.e., limited real world business experience), incorporates the latest research and knowledge, and provides thorough pedagogical support for instructors along with innovative learning support for students.

Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, and how they need it, so that your class time is more engaging and effective.
