Fundamentals of Supply Chain Theory

Fundamentals of Supply Chain Theory, 2nd Edition, is a textbook focused on mathematical models used to optimize supply chain design, operation, and evaluation. The text covers strategic, tactical, and operational aspects of supply chain management.

Core subject coverage spans forecasting methods, inventory management, facility location, process flexibility, and auctions. The volume also examines transportation networks, presenting mathematical formulations for traveling salesman and vehicle routing problems.

Intended for upper-undergraduate and graduate courses in engineering and business, the work also supports readers interested in quantitative supply chain analysis. Chapter case studies illustrate how organizations implement these theoretical models in practice.
