In this book, Andrew Greasley provides a clear and accessible introduction to this important area of study, focusing on all key areas of operations in both manufacturing and service industries.

Operations Management, Second Edition covers the main areas of operations strategy, the design of the operations system and the management of operations over time. Yet, its concise nature of the text means students are not overwhelmed by the amount of material presented. This new edition also features:

• Greater clarity in chapter material organization.
• Worked Examples providing a step-by-step guide to the procedure to solve quantitative problems.
• Visual redesign in full colour.
• More support material for students and lecturers, including an interactive WileyPLUS course.
