This third edition provides operations management students,
academics and professionals with a fully up-to-date, practical and
comprehensive sourcebook in the science of distribution and Supply
Chain Management (SCM). Its objective is not only to discover the
roots and detail the techniques of supply and delivery channel
networks, but also to explore the impact of the merger of SCM
concepts and information technologies on all aspects of internal
business and supply channel management. This textbook provides a
thorough and sometimes analytical view of the topic, while
remaining approachable from the standpoint of the reader. Although
the text is broad enough to encompass all the management activities
found in today's logistics and distribution channel organizations,
it is detailed enough to provide the reader with a thorough
understanding of essential strategic and tactical planning and
control processes, as well as problem-solving techniques that can
be applied to everyday operations. Distribution Planning and
Control: Managing in the Era of Supply Chain Management, 3rd Ed. is
comprised of fifteen chapters, divided into five units. Unit 1 of
the text, The SCM and Distribution Management Environment, sets the
background necessary to understand today's supply chain
environment. Unit 2, SCM Strategies, Channel Structures and Demand
Management, reviews the activities involved in performing strategic
planning, designing channel networks, forecasting and managing
channel demand. Unit 3, Inventory Management in the Supply Chain
Environment, provides an in-depth review of managing supply chain
inventories, statistical inventory management, and inventory
management in a multiechelon channel environment. Unit 4, Supply
Chain Execution, traces the translation of the strategic supply
chain plans into detailed customer and supplier management,
warehousing and transportation operations activities. Finally Unit
5, International Distribution and Supply Chain Technologies,
concludes the text by exploring the role of two integral elements
of SCM: international distribution management and the deployment of
information technologies in the supply chain environment. Each
chapter includes summary questions and problems to challenge
readers to their knowledge of concepts and topics covered.
Additionally supplementary materials for instructors are also
available as tools for learning reinforcement.
