Essential Operations Management, 2nd Edition, is a textbook addressing core challenges in planning, designing, and implementing operations across both service and manufacturing sectors.

The volume uses a tasks-and-challenges approach that connects theoretical models to practical operational management. Coverage centers on fundamental areas such as service and product design, capacity management, scheduling, inventory control, and supply chain coordination.

Intended for undergraduate, postgraduate, and MBA students, the text demonstrates concepts through more than 30 new and updated international case studies, including examples from Apple, Samsung, and Uber.
