    Operations Management: Theory and Practice aims to introduce the key concepts of production and operations management to students and to help them develop a sound conceptual understanding of the subject by adopting a practical approach to address various topics relevant to operations management.

    While preserving the much-appreciated features of the first edition—the Ideas at Work boxes, the solved examples, and the rich examples of operations management practices in India—the second edition has been revised to increase the coverage of the service sector, include more topics, reorganize chapter content, and provide more learning tools.
