Description
This introduction to operations strategy integrates the classical foundations with recent application advances. The text chapters are organized to show the importance and interrelationship of each topic, describing all relevant algorithms, showing their applications, and noting the strategic operations issues of how, when, where and why. This perspective integrates corporate strategy formulation and implementation with long-range business planning, mid-range operations planning and short-range tactical execution of the strategy, without losing its linkage with operations management fundamentals.
