Excellent book on Operations Managament - By: , 28 Dec 2003 
The book on Operations Management by Slack et al was an excellent guide into the area of Operations Management. It is filled with interesting theory on the subject area & also provides pointers into related areas such as Marketing, Strategy & Organisational Behaviour. It is one of the most well-written course books I have come across & is an achievement by the authors as they not only manage to present OM in a concise way but also can link the theory to theories in other domains in a coherent fashion.
Over time, the book has proven to be one of those course books that have turned into frequently used reference books in real-life situations. Not many of my course books have managed to pass this usability litmus test.
Brilliant Study Guide - By: , 09 Oct 2002 
Slack has been a definite help in my recently completed MBA module in Operations Management. As a study guide the book is very easy going & thought provoking. For anybody formallly studying Operations Management, this book is particularly relevant as it is packed with practical case studies which will enrich your learning experience.

Excellent book for all people involved in operations - By: , 04 Apr 2000 I am a post-graduate student in Facilities Management & found this book to be extremely useful when planning, designing & managing facilities service operations.
What a brilliant book�. - By: r.williams@wlv.ac.uk, 04 Feb 2000 Slack et al. Have out done themselves this constantly revised book has got everything that I needed to know at Operations Management. Not only that but it's reallly easy to read...
As part of my final year project I spoke to an 'Actual' Operations Manager & him & I completely understood one another. I spoke to him about things that I had come across in this book & he had not heard about. It was very useful & it got me very high marks in the module I was doing. It covers alll relevant subject areas to give to great ideas, & the case studies are excellent example of operations in work. I have no hesitation in recommending this book!
