Supply Chain Analysis: A Handbook on the Interaction of Information, System and Optimization

By Kwok-Kee Wei and Chung-Piaw Teo

Book Overview

Edited by a team of top researchers including the world-renowned Christopher Tang of UCLA, this is a carefully developed work focused on the analysis of supply chain interaction issues in emerging markets and industry sectors. It is a leading-edge handbook that will emphasize areas of study where, thus far, little work has been done and where the "rubber meets the road" - the supply chain process, information, and systems integration. These are pertinent issues facing practitioners and researchers in today's business environment. In sum, readers will find this is a gap-bridging handbook that analyzes interaction issues from both the research and practitioner sides. The result is a volume that examines and provides practical solutions on interaction issues while being firmly grounded in research principles. The topics dealt with include the issue of supply chain design, from the perspective of foreign cosmetic companies in China and supply chain coordination among grocery manufacturers.
