Operations Management WITH Companion Website with Gradetracker Student Access Card

Go back far enough and Nigel Slack was an industrial apprentice in the hand-tool industry in Sheffield, his home town. He went on to become a production engineer and production manager in light engineering and a distribution manager in consumer products. Following something of a row with his CEO, he decided to take a couple of years out as an academic.

During his academic career he has been a lecturer in Management Studies at Oxford University, Professor of Operations Strategy at Brunel University in London, The Royal Academy of Engineering Professor of Service and Support Management at Cambridge University and the Professor of Operations Management and Strategy at Warwick Business School.
