Description:...

Managing operations is an integral part of all business and comprises a number of components, including quality management, production planning, supply chain management, logistics, and inventory control. The effective management of operations plays a defining role in enhancing business efficiency and is a lynchpin for success.

This book explores how Islamic principles and tools can be applied to improve operations management across industries. While Islamic banking and finance are established disciplines, there is yet little evidence of how exploring operations management from an Islamic lens can improve efficiency. Bringing together leading scholars across subdisciplines, the Editors fill the long-standing gap and address the rising demand for halal products and services by providing a unique perspective to define and enhance an important, growing field.

This book will be a useful reference for those who wish to understand all aspects of Islamic business operations and halal logistics. The book will be helpful to academics, researchers, and upper level students, in particular to those who are looking to further their research on how Islamic principles can be applied to business operations.
