New Features

The authors provide state-of-the-art models, concepts, and solution methods that are important for the design, control, operation, and management of supply chain systems. Although many essential supply chain management issues are interrelated, the authors strive to make each chapter as self-contained as possible, so that the reader can refer directly to chapters covering topics of interest. Each chapter utilizes numerous case studies and examples, and mathematical and technical sections can be skipped without loss of continuity. The 3rd edition represents a substantial revision. While the structure and philosophy were kept intact, the authors placed an increasing importance on finding or developing effective frameworks that illustrate many important supply chain issues. This edition integrates supply chain cases and issues in the Indian context. Feature Highlights ? Broad introduction to many critical issues in Supply Chain Management: The topics discussed range from a basic discussion of inventory management, logistics network design, distribution systems, and customer value, to more advanced discussions of strategic alliances, the value of information in the supply chain, information technology and decisions support systems, and international issues in supply chain management. Issues pertaining to India like supply chain of SMEs, the growing retail sector and reverse logistics are presented as boxed examples and as a new chapter (chapter 16). ? Case Studies: Each chapter contains at least one case study. The purpose of these case studies is twofold: to offer a real example of a supply chain challenge and to provide students with numerous opportunities to apply their knowledge to a strategic question or set of questions involving supply chain management. Two Indian cases on the operations of the Mumbai Dabbawallahs, vendor management of Maruti Udyog Ltd and are added at the end of the relevant chapters. ? Examples: The authors have included numerous examples in each chapter to illustrate various concepts, framework and strategies. 2-3 boxed examples in the Indian context will be added. ? Innovative Software included on CD-ROM: The Computerized Beer Game, the Risk Pool Game, and the Bidding Game are included on a CD-ROM, packaged with the text. These games provide a stimulating way for students to learn many of the concepts discussed in the book.
