Supply Chain Performance Management: Current Approaches

摘要

There probably is no more contentious issue than how to manage supply chain performance. The leading academic journals routinely run articles on the subject, yet misunderstanding and ineffectual practices continue to vex manufacturing, distribution, and transportation firms, worldwide. Divided into the four key elements of performance measurement, supply management, inventory management, and supply chain optimization, this book is a compilation of 15 academic articles that collectively attempt to provide a holistic treatment of performance management. In writing its review, however, the challenge was the need to address the individual chapters as well as the manner in which they aggregate into the common unified theme.
