I'm currently working on my Master's degree and this is probably the worst book ever written. Without a doubt I can say that I have never read such a confusing book. This book contradict's itself while placing concepts together that shouldn't be placed together. The chapter's cover too much information without clearly explaining any given example that goes along with a section. If you can, avoid this book at all costs. If I'm not reviewing clearly it must be that I just finished the last exhausting chapter of this book.

I am a senior in college and I have used and read many, many textbooks but this is the worst one ever! Very hard to read, the example are not explained very well, MANY< MANY typo's that are confusing to the reader. Many math examples and explanations are outright just wrong. Even professor says its an awful book.
Should have never made it into college classrooms!!

The Operations Management book arrived a lot earlier than expected. It was in very good condition. This a very good management book that I used in college a few years ago. I'm buying it for review purposes now.

I rarely ever actually use my "required" textbooks for my classes except as a reference or maybe to clarify a point. However, for this particular class, there was no classroom instruction so I was required to actually sit down and open the book.

I was pleasantly surprised! This text is straightforward, and the concepts are easy to follow. Instead of being written like the majority of other texts (in a way that seems like the author is just trying to prove his superiority and extended expertise in the subject matter), this text was truly written for the student who is trying to learn a new concept. Highly recommended.

This text is generally okay. It explains things in good detail. I think that it focuses a little much on calculations since computer software is available to do this for you. The higher rating may be due to my instructor requiring limited knowledge of the calculations.

Dust off your calculus books because you'll need them!
This text digs deep into OM. If you are looking for a softer, high level book, then this is not for you. If you want to delve deep into the mathematics behind the algorithm, you should be pleased.

All textbooks over $50 are a rip off, WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR STATE SENATOR TELLING THEM YOU WON'T STAND FOR THESE OUTRAGEOUS PRICES ON TEXTBOOKS FOR SCHOOL. MOST STUDENTS CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THESE RIDICULOUS PRICES!!! WE CAN BEAT THE ENDLESS NEW EDITION CYCLES THAT PUBLISHERS RIP US OFF WITH IF WE MAKE IT KNOWN!! WE CAN'T AND WON'T STAND FOR THIS!

This book is a guide for all people involved in manufacturing processes.
