*Our Test Bank, with thousands of questions and problems, has a new feature. We took over 200 of the “numeric” multiple-choice problems and converted them from “static” (where each student receives the same data), to “algorithmic” (where each student has different data–in most cases 100 different versions of the problem with different answers for each). This is a major step toward test integrity, and creates a broad new selection of problems to assign.
*We added scores of new problems from the text that are now algorithmic.
*There are now 30 case studies in MyOMLab (at least one per chapter) that have four multiple choice questions each. This allows cases to be assigned online with automatic grading.
*There are new current “OM in the News” articles in each chapter (from the Wall Street Journal and other sources), each with four multiple choice questions that can be assigned.
*We filmed four new videos featuring Nautique Boat Company: these also include four multiple choice questions in MyOMLab.
*We created 12 new videos called “Creating Your Own Spreadsheets” to help students advance their Excel analytic skills. Each video (1) reviews an example problem from a chapter and briefly describes the tools needed to solve it; (2) provides several spreadsheet design principles; (3) maps out a plan for the spreadsheet; and (4) finally builds the spreadsheet to analyze the problem.
*We added and revised revised hundreds of the widely used “Concept Questions” that test student qualitative understanding of the course content.
*As in previous editions, every video case in the book has four assignable multiple-choice questions. Also, students can view 12 videos from recent graduates describing how they use operations management on the job. Each of these has assignable multiple-choice questions in MyOMLab.
*New and updated are our five OM simulations and two new mini-sims that give students hands-on experience with real-world business challenges. They also help them develop decision-making skills and apply course concepts.
We really hope you find all these new MyOMLab options useful in your Fall 2022 course.
