Review

A Book for Students Everywhere Very few books on supply chain management succeed as both an instructional vehicle for the student and a hands-on resource for the practitioner. Designing and Managing the Supply Chain is the happy exception. This collaboration between academia and the industry bridges that gap between the pedantic and the pragmatic. Each chapter presents a case study up front, replete with problems and challenges, then discusses the technology and decision-support tools that can be applied to the case example. By the end of the chapter, the students can address the issues raised in the cases effectively. That technique is repeated for a number of critical supply chain topics- logistics network design, inventory management, strategic alliances, international logistics, and the often overlooked supply chain/product design connection, to name a few. Especially valuable for readers without a strong technical background is the discussion on supply chain information technology and decision-support systems. -- Supply Chain Management Review, March/April 2000

Each chapter begins with a real-world case-study, then presents various technological-solutions...this book is essential for professionals and students alike. -- Business 2.0 December 2001

The book is an important contribution and major milestone for the supply chain community. It is the first book that covers a comprehensive breadth of supply chain topics in depth and addresses the major challenges in this area. -- Hau Lee, Stanford University

The book was awarded:
1) The IIE Joint Publishers Book of the Year
2) The Outstanding IIE Publication Award -- Institute of Industrial Engineers, Year 2000 awards

Winner of the Outstanding First Edition of the Year Award given in 2000 by McGraw-Hill/Irwin -- McGraw-Hill/Irwin

Book Description

It is not surprising that many companies are involved in the analysis of their supply chains. Most textbooks do not include models and decision support systems robust enough for industry. DESIGNING AND MANAGING THE SUPPLY CHAIN: Concepts, Strategies, and Cases discusses these problems, models and concepts at that appropriate level. While many core supply chain management issues are interrelated, the authors have tried, when possible, 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 case studies and numerous examples. Mathematical and technical sections can be skipped without loss of continuity. The book also contains two software packages, the Computerized Beer Game and the Risk Pool Game which help illustrate many of the concepts discussed.

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive book on supply chain management, Jan 17 2003
By 
Shailendra Jha (Waterloo, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Designing and Managing the Supply Chain w/ Student CD-Rom (Hardcover)
The 1st edition of this book, authored by three leading scholars and consultants in the important, fast developing field of supply chain management, won several awards and high critical acclaim from professional associations, scholars, and managers.

The 2nd edition has addressed the few gaps in the the original edition, noticed mainly by by those who, like me, used the book to teach university level courses. Thus, in the new edition, anything complex (especially, quantitative ideas) is explained even more clearly and thoroughly than in the 1st edition. The managerial implications of research findings are spelled out even better, with more examples. Short, insightful discussion questions have been added following each chapter, and there are several new, interesting case studies in several chapters. Valuable new material has also been added, e.g., research findings and examples on how to design win-win supply chain contracts, and up-to-date material on the impact of e-commerce and information technology on supply chain management.

This book will be of value to all managers, but probably most to managers at middle and senior levels, as it provides a clear, coherent view of the entire subject while emphasizing strategic and tactical level decisions and planning. The authors have made a truly important contribution to the understanding and practice of supply chain management.
