Supply Chain Management Review, March/April 2000

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. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive book on supply chain management, Jan 17 2003

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.
