Principles of Operations Management 9th Edition, Heizer and Render

Principles of Operations Management 9th Edition by Jay Heizer and Barry Render presents a broad introduction to the field of operations in a realistic and practical manner, while offering the largest and most diverse collection of problems on the market. The problems found in this text also contain ample support—found in the book’s solved-problems and worked examples.

Directed primarily toward undergraduate business college/university majors, this text also provides practical content to current and aspiring industry professionals. Using the 1, 2, 3, 4-dot system to distinguish level of difficulty for each problem (1 being the easiest and 4 the most difficult), this text now provides even more opportunity for students to challenge their knowledge and enhance their skills.

The hundreds of new problems found in this edition also allow professors additional options when it comes to assigning homework based on a difficulty-level that’s appropriate for their students. Step-by-step worked examples of problems are extremely helpful in an analytical course, which is why the chapters and myomlab contain worked-through examples that are reinforced by the end-of-chapter Solved Problems. Both the text and myomlab work together to help students build on what they learn in the classroom.

In order to help students study and learn the concepts more effectively, this text now includes a two-page Rapid Review at the end of each chapter and supplement. This detailed, yet concise, summary of the main points and equations in the chapter helps students prepare for homework, exams, and lectures. The Rapid Reviews also include key chapter terms and a self-test, with questions linked to the learning objectives in the chapter.

This revision includes broad coverage of ethics as applied to operations management. The topic is addressed in most chapters and an Ethical Dilemma feature appears at the end of each chapter, which can be used for classroom discussion or homework.
