Book DescriptionProbably the most respected operations text on the market. This is an introductory operations management text that does well in both the introductory undergraduate OM course as well as at the senior level and graduate levels. It can also be found in industrial engineering. Chase's reputation for modern coverage and currency is largely the reason it has gained its reputation as an upper level course.

Rating: - Good undergrad/MBA text.
If you're looking for a graduate textbook, Production & Operations Analysis by Nahmias is your essential text. I'm in a PhD program now, and I found Nahmias' book most helpful.

I am an MBA student and I used this book as the textbook for the course "Operations Management". The book is very good and helpful, very well written too.

Rating: - The book is very well designed for a course on production/ o
My name is Muhammad Salim Khan. I am a Professor at the University here in Pakistan and have been using this book for teaching production / operation management to the students of MBA here at our university. In my opinion the book is well designed and fulfills all requirements of the course. I would request the author/ publisher if they can provide me the solution manual of this book which will in fact help me in clearing my own concepts of the problems given at the end of each chapter.
Rating: - Perfect book for teaching Production Management Classes
We use the book in our production courses at the university of Oldenburg in Germany. It's highly appreciated by the students. The CD is a big support for preparing the classes. The only deficit is the fact that not all pictures and tableaus of the book are part of the CD.
