Cachon Matching Supply with Demand , 5e is a clear, concise, and more rigorous approach to an introductory Operations management course. Written by Wharton authors who use their guiding principles “real operations, real solutions” to bring the text and concepts to life, writing most chapters from the perspective of specific companies. The “real solutions” refers to providing students with tools and strategies they can implement in practice and apply the author's models in a realistic operational setting. The authors strive for “real simple” by using as little mathematical notation as possible, focusing on many real-world examples and consistent terminology and phrasing throughout. They have even included author-created videos to help instructors better understand each chapter which can be found in the Chapter Video Teaching Notes in the Instructor Resources. Cachon, Matching Supply with Demand , 5e is a strongly application based advanced title suitable for senior-level undergraduate courses or graduate-level courses.
