Supply Chain Management introduces high-level strategy and concepts while giving you the practical tools to solve supply chain (SC) problems. Using a strategic framework, the text covers all of the key drivers of performance, including facilities, inventory, transportation, information, sourcing and pricing.

New cases in the 7th Edition illustrate how good SC management offers a competitive advantage and how poor SC management can damage an organization's performance. With this text, you'll gain a deeper understanding of SCs and how managerial levers can improve SC outcomes.
