The Third Edition of Operations Now discusses key functional components of the supply chain, such as logistics, transportation and purchasing in two full chapters dedicated to supply chain topics. Moreover, the field of supply chain management is introduced early in the book, in the strategy chapter, and is thoroughly integrated within subsequent chapters throughout the book.

Chapter 3, 'Strategy and Value', Chapter 4, 'Processes', Chapter 7 'Quality Tools', and Chapter 9 'Supply Chain Management' have each been thoroughly revised and updated according to reviewer recommendations and reflecting the latest developments in the field.
A number of new pedagogical features have been added to the new edition of Operations Now to make it even more student-friendly and to offer the instructor additional ease and flexibility with assignments aling with reinforcement of key concepts. Among these enhancements are: chapter sub-titles which have been added to chapter names for greater clarity, 'Callback' icons appear in the margins identifying points in the chapter narrative than relate back to the chapter-opening vignette, solutions to selected end-of-chapter problems are now available on the OLC for students and selected end-of-chapter problems and test bank questions tagged and linked to AACSB guidelines.
Byron Finch's proprietary Resource/Profit model represents a unique framework for discussion of operations topics. By emphasizing the need to view operations decisions both in terms of added value and financial return, business students, operations majors and non-majors alike are better equipped to become better managers by understanding the connection between operations and good business decisions.
Conceptual material is supported by problem sets and case studies that yield two key benefits: students are offered ample opportunities to test their understanding of concepts and instructors are provided with a wealth of assignment material.
Operations Now differs from many other textbooks by treating the subject of operations management within the context of the entire organization and with reference to the other functional areas that comprise it. Moreover, Operations Now distinguishes itself by addressing more frequently both the internal and external forces that dictate and influence the design of a firm¿s operation. This gives students the perspective they need to understand the utility of the techniques they learn in the course.
