Operations and Supply Chain Management 13th Edition, F. Robert Jacobs



Operations and Supply Chain Management, as the title indicates, provides increased emphasis on supply chain management in the 13th Edition. The 13th Edition continues its market leading up-to-date coverage of service operations as well. The text includes solved examples and problems, enough cases for MBA courses to use without supplementing, and the industry leading technology support suite.

If you anticipate a lot of homework in your class, DO NOT buy the international edition. Until now, I have had no problems with the international editions of many of my textbooks. I bought the international edition of this text for my class. So far, I have had many of my homework problems (about 30% in each submission) corrected when returned to me until I realized that it was not my mistake but that the data given for those homework problems was different in my textbook compared to that of the standard edition. Thankfully, my professor and TA were understanding and thus, got full credit. It might not be so with other professors.

Other than the above mentioned problem and few case studies missing in the international edition, the text is great. It's easy to understand and the chapters are short and manageable.

I got this book for my manufacturing class at James Madison University and it was great. It is a very detailed and well informing book. It has been "dumbed" down because it is being used by business schools so it is not has math intensive has previous versions.

It does not come with online material

Comes with a CD of companies that are talked about in the book and are used as examples.

Overall a good book, I am keeping it to use for another class.
