My main area of interest in the Operations field is the integration of Operations Methodologies like JIT (Just In Time), BPR (Business Process Reengineering), and TQM (Total Quality Management), with ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)systems and their applications in the Indian Manufacturing Scenario. The following books would make interesting reading for those interested in the above areas :
The Machine that changed The World - James P. Womack, Daniel T. Jones & Daniel Roos
Reengineering The Corporation : A Manifesto for Business Revolution - Michael Hammer & James Champy
The Goal - Eliyahu M. Goldratt & Jeff Cox
