Summary: Excelent book
Review: I have the 7th edition. I would like to make you see that the book should be more explicit about where to find the complements like teacher's manual, softwares, videos, etc. that is mentioned in the preface to be available.

Summary: Useful for undergraduate students
Review: The book shows the different topics about operations management with several excercises and mini-cases. The mini-cases are not so complex. These mini cases are designed for tools applications but don't help to build a business system concept or a bussiness problem, something very important for MBA students. That is the reason because this book is appropiate for undergraduate students in Bussiness or as a complement material for graduate students.
Also, the book needs to improve the explanation of process choice or process tipology, both for goods and services. It is something confuse.
I have the spanish edition book with a software (POM) in a CD included. This software has some applications as forecasting, linear programming, proyect management, mrp, among others,in a simple format. But POMS for Windows (H.Weiss), DS for Windows(H.Weiss) and HOM software have more modules and let you try more complex situations.
