We are big believers that videos are a valuable teaching and learning tool in our OM and SCM courses. With the newly published 15th edition we offer the following free video features.
New video cases: We provide over fifty 8-12 minute integrated Video Cases to help readers see and understand operations and supply chain management in action within a variety of industries. With this edition, we take you behind the scenes at Oregon State University, which recently rebuilt a major portion of its football stadium and re-envisioned the game day experience for fans. .
These new OSU videos provide an inside look at:
• Project Management in Rebuilding OSU’s Football Stadium (Ch. 3);
• Capacity Planning for Oregon State University’s Football Stadium (Supp. 7);
• Designing a New Stadium Experience at Oregon State University (Ch. 9); and
• Planning for a Home Football Game at Oregon State University (Ch. 15).
In addition, we continue to offer our previous Video Cases that cover: Celebrity Cruises, the Nautique Boat Company, Alaska Airlines, the Orlando Magic basketball team, Frito-Lay, Darden/Red Lobster Restaurants, Hard Rock Cafe, Arnold Palmer Hospital, and Wheeled Coach Ambulances. All of these were filmed by the author team specifically to match the chapters and topics in the text.
New Video Clips: In addition, hundreds of 1-2 minute clips from these videos are now imbedded throughout the interactive digital text to provide students with brief snapshots of the techniques they’re reading about being applied in industry. With a quick click, students can see the immediate topic brought to light.
Excel Spreadsheet Videos: We include “Creating Your Own Excel Spreadsheets” in 12 chapters of the book to illustrate how students can build their own spreadsheets to solve OM problems. We also have videos to accompany these examples.
Solved Problem Videos: There are over 90 solved problems at the end of chapters to help students review models they studied in the text. We have filmed ourselves walking step-by-step through each of these in 5-15 minute videos.
Recent Graduate Videos: Want your students to learn about jobs in OM/SCM? Here are a dozen 4-minute videos filmed by recent grads describing their work in the discipline. Each grad also includes personal tips for landing a job and future success.
