An authoritative, quantitative approach to supply chain management
Addressing the need for the study of supply chain management to evolve at the same pace
as it's real-world practice, Fundamentals of Supply Chain Theory presents the methodology
and foundations of the topic and also demonstrates how recent developments build upon
classic models. The authors focus on strategic and tactical aspects of supply chain
management, covering a broad range of topics from forecasting, inventory management, and
facility location to process flexibility, contracting, and auctions.
Key mathematical models for optimizing the design, operation, and evaluation of supply
chains are presented as well as models currently emerging from the research frontier.
Following a thorough introduction, the book delves into a discussion of centralized
models, including:
Forecasting and demand modeling
Deterministic inventory models
Stochastic inventory models
Multi-Echelon inventory models
Processes for dealing with uncertainty in inventory optimization and facility location
Facility location models
Process flexibility
In addition, the authors present decentralized models that involve multiple parties
with independent, conflicting objectives, covering topics such as:
The bullwhip effect
Supply chain contracts
Auctions
Each chapter concludes with a set of problems that challenge readers to understand,
interpret, and extend the discussed models and algorithms. In addition, extensive
appendices provide guidance on writing proofs and also outline helpful formulas related to
probability theory, calculus, and algebra.
Extensively class-tested to ensure an easy-to-follow presentation, Fundamentals of Supply
Chain Theory is a suitable book for business and engineering courses on supply chain
management at the graduate level. The book also serves as an authoritative reference for
academics and practitioners working in the areas of operations research, business,
management science, and industrial engineering.
