Title overview

Supply Chain Management merges concepts and strategies with practical tools for solving supply chain problems. Using a strategic decision-making framework, it assesses key drivers of supply chain performance, including facilities, inventory, transportation, information, sourcing and pricing. Quantitative ideas are presented in Excel® spreadsheets to help you understand and apply analytic methodologies.

The 8th Edition includes dozens of new real-world examples illustrating lessons learned from organizations and global events, such as stressors and trends since the Covid-19 pandemic. Additionally, two new chapters were added, expanding coverage of supply chain segmentation, tailoring, resilience and disruption risk.
