The chapter concludes with an overview of this book – its intended audience, the areas covered, and a description of the subsequent chapters. KEY WORDS Health care delivery, Health care planning HEALTH CARE DELIVERY: PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES 3 1.1 WORLDWIDE HEALTH: THE PAST 50 YEARS Human health has improved significantly in the last 50 years. In 1950, global life expectancy was 46 years [1]. That figure rose to 61 years by 1980 and to 67 years by 1998 [2]. Much of these gains occurred in low- and middle-income countries, and were due in large part to improved nutrition and sanitation, medical innovations, and improvements in public health infrastructure.

Book Synopsis Cases in Operations Management by : K. N. KRISHNASWAMY
Download or read book Cases in Operations Management written by K. N. KRISHNASWAMY and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2008-08-18 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to enhance the knowledge of MBA students in Operations Management acquired in a basic level course. The case-study material covered relates to a wide spectrum of management activities, and deals with the application of statistical, operations research and system analysis methods to problems categorized under several headings. The book can therefore be used in conjunction with a course in Operations Management or as an independent second course. Thirty-one real-world cases in the book are the result of several years of research work by the authors, including consultancy assignments, doctoral dissertations, and project assignments of graduate management students. The cases are research oriented and encourage students to think rigorously in an environment of uncertainty of a real-world situation. The cases are comprehensive enough to drill students in devising alternative methods of solutions, and arm them with a deep understanding of decision-making processes instead of merely providing them with a general appreciation of managerial perspective. These realistic cases help in learning applications of quantitative and analytical techniques of management, bringing home to the student the challenges of managing activities throughout the organization. Though a new title, it is an enlarged version of Dr. Krishnaswamy’s earlier book Cases in Production/Operations Management.
