DESCRIPTION:
"Good, but would not recommend to beginners." according to Mr.Right. I was looking for a book that would relate to a lot of the stuff I am learning in my program at school (Masters Degree). The book is very detailed which is good, but if you do not have a lot of experience with some of the formulas being used you might struggle.

Also bear in mind that I come from a mathematical background, not a management or industrial or systems engineering background. That said, this book is distinctly divided into two major areas:1) What it does well2) What it . thanks to this book, thanks to this book, my friends and I survived our supply chain class (our class is a disaster and no one knows what he is talking about)
Among its strengths are mathematical rigor, comprehensive coverage of all important topics, snapshots, and historical notes. "Nahmias & Olsen's textbook has served our program well. Best of all, the price is very, very reasonable!" --Ching-Chung Kuo, University of North Texas . However, the cost became too high. The reduced-cost version is an excellent move." --Chen Zhou, Georgia Institute of Technology"This is the best operations management textbook I have ever seen in my 26-year academic career
