Description

Process Theory: The Principles of Operations Management brings together a century of operations management thinking into ten fundamental principles that explain how successful operations are managed. The authors have distilled these practical considerations from their observations in practice, and apply them to important topics such as process design, process improvement, the supply chain, new product development, project management, environmental sustainability, and the interfaces between operations management and other business disciplines.

The book challenges traditional theories of operations management, which often rely on assumptions rather than practical experience. Instead, it offers a more straightforward approach to managing processes that have been proven effective in practice. By codifying these principles, the authors aim to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding and improving operational performance.
