Title overview

Managing Supply Chain and Operations examines supply chains, the participants involved, and why supply chains and operations management are important to your future career. The text takes a balanced approach that doesn't solely focus on quantitative material. It uses a 4-part model to tie together the key functions of supply chains, operations, and customer relationship management, and then studies these through the lens of improvement, innovation and integration.

With increased coverage of sustainability and social responsibility, the 2nd Edition will help prepare you to be a successful manager in the field.
