Recent years have seen many changes that have affected nearly every aspect of business, including operations management. In this fifth edition of our book, we continue to reflect key shifts in operations management, including transitions: From a focus on the internal system to a focus on the supply chain. In today's highly competitive business environment, organizations must leverage the capabilities of their suppliers and customers. Operations managers must look beyond the "four walls" of the firm and take an integrated supply chain perspective of operations. From a local focus to a global focus. As Thomas L.
