    Introduction to Operations Management

    Many students come to this course with negative feelings, perhaps because they have heard that the course includes a certain amount of quantitative material (which many feel uncomfortable with), or perhaps because the course strikes them as “how to run a factory.” Others seem to have very little idea about what operations management is. I view the initial meeting with my classes, and this first chapter, as opportunities to dispel some of these notions, and to generate enthusiasm for the course.…

    There are so many things to make good writing in my opinion. A good writer writes everything focused and clear. The good writer is always organized in his writing. A logically organized piece of writing is always clear and understandable to the readers. It is very important when a writer chooses his topic for writing, the story and ideas should be relevant to the subject and when a reader reads your story he should feel everything in his mind and eyes. The writer must use good words and well defined sentences in his story. For a good writer it’s very important to follow grammar rules and punctuation because grammar and punctuations mistakes make a bad impression on readers and they think the writer has a lack of knowledge on his subject. A good Writer builds the sentences and chooses words for the essays that are clear, understandable and well defined. The sentences should be not only correct but also briefly explained. A good Writer always chooses correct words for the sentence which he is trying to say. A good writer does not write awkward phrasing in an essay. To add interest to your writing use different length and structure of your sentences and always use your words carefully. During proofreading make sure to correct misspellings and wrong capitalized words and commonly confused words. The format is very important in writing, how your words, sentences and paragraphs are show up on the page. When you write list your main points and make reviewing notes and marking them up is to make things easy to find. A good writer always wants to reader to think.…
