Caracteristici

For courses in Management Science or Decision Modeling.
 
Render/Stair/Hanna puts an emphasis on model building and computer applications to show students how the techniques presented in the book are used in business.
 
In The Real-World: Model Building
 
In each chapter, managerial circumstances are presented as examples and motivation for learning techniques that can be used in life after college.  Several examples include:
 
·        “Modeling in the Real World” boxes — Demonstrates the application of quantitative analysis to show students how each technique taught in the book is used by real businesses
·        “QA in Action” boxes —These summarize published articles illustrating how real world organizations have used quantitative analysis to solve problems
 
In The Real-World: Computer Applications
 
The use of computer software allows the instructor to focus on the managerial problems and spend less time on the mathematical details of the algorithms. 
 
  • POM-QM for Windows Software — Using the full capabilities of Windows, this application gives students a tool to solve quantitative problems.  While QM Version 2 was used in the 9th edition, POM-QM for Windows Version 3 is now included with all textbooks.
  • Excel QM, Excel 2003, and Excel 2007 — When Microsoft introduced Office 2007, Excel experience a dramatic change in the graphical user interface.  The installation and access of Add-Ins was changed completely.  The authors have included instructions and screen shots for both Excel 2003 and Excel 2007 so instructors and students can work with either one when they solve problems.
 
In The Real-World: Case Studies
 
At the end of each chapter, case studies involving quantitative analysis provide additional examples on how real businesses are using quantitative analysis.  Some examples of case studies in this edition include:
 
·        Food and Beverages at Southwestern University Football Games
·        Century Chemical Company
·        Mexicana Wire Works
·        Coastal States Chemicals and Fertilizers
 
Other Points of Distinction
 
*Solved Problems — Located at the end of each chapter, these problems serve as models for students solving their own homework problems if they get stuck
 
*Key Equations - Provided at the end of each chapter, this section offers a summary of the key equations that the student has learned

Caracteristici noi

This edition has been updated to reflect the changes in the business world by offering both updated examples and computer software.

Other Points of Distinction
 
*Single Period Inventory Model.  A section on the single period inventory model has been added to chapter 6, presenting a marginal or incremental analysis to minimizing the cost of inventory when a single time period is involved.
 
*F Distribution. Chapter 2 on probability has been revised to include the F Distribution.
 
*Significance Testing in Regression. Chapter 4 has been expanded to emphasize testing for significance.
 
*Revised Notation. Instructors should note a change in notation on the complement of events in Chapter 2 and 3, and a change in the notation used for forecasting a time series in Chapter 5.
 
*Updated Examples. As inflation in changing costs over time, you will find changes in the examples in the 10th edition.
