Description
A quantitative textbook for upper‑level engineering and MBA students that develops operations‑research models and solution methods for designing, controlling, and managing global supply chains.
Short Summary
Emphasizing a quantitative approach, Supply Chain Engineering: Models and Applications provides state-of-the-art mathematical models, concepts, and solution methods important in the design, control, operation, and management of global supply chains.
The text provides an understanding of how companies plan, source, make, and deliver their products to create and/or maintain a global competitive advantage. It emphasizes application of operations research models and methods to optimize the various components of an integrated supply chain.
When & Why?
Suitable for people who are in advanced degrees and want an applied perspective in the implementation of algorithms.
How to?
The text is fairly self contained and a practitioner would be able to understand the material without any supplementary material from other books.
Review: what is good & less good?
This book helps to understand the problem rather than just mathematicla modelling. This book would be suitable in understanding mathematical optimization and the problem it solves.
