Product Description
Jacobs and Chase continue to lead the field of Operations Management with cutting edge up-to- date content, technology, and motivation. Now, in this First Edition Jacobs and Chase focus on the core concepts of operations and supply management. This condensed text was constructed with the four essential core areas of process, quality, inventory, and supply chain management in mind, as decided by a panel of OM instructor’s at the Decision Science Institute meeting, and after conducting a survey of content coverage in representative universities. The new Core text provides increased emphasis on supply management concepts along with a focused presentation of the core OM concepts.

I purchased this book as a requirement for a Master's degree class. So far its been very good.
Great Book for the Basics, Not Much Else December 16, 2008
Some Guy with an (New York, NY, USA)
If you know nothing of the subject, then this is an excellent book to start out with. The CD that comes with it even has helpful powerpoint presentations and quizzes to better help you retain the information. (My college "professor" was so lazy that he actually used the book's powerpoint presentations to teach the class... now there's a waste of tuition money).
If you know the basics of OSM (and you probably do, because many of the principles are based on common sense), then don't get this book. Go find an intermediate/advanced OSM book that doesn't have lava all over the cover.
 Needs to expand on calculation problems March 9, 2007

This book is good, a lot smaller than the other versions. To scale it down, though, they cut back on explaining certain calculations. They think we remember this stuff from undergrad???
