The enterprise-focused framework of supply chain, which an
overwhelming majority of books on supply chain management (SCM)
have adopted, falls short in explaining recent developments in the
real world, especially the so-called Wal-Mart model, in which a
'factory' is a virtual logistics network of multiple international
manufacturing firms. The book fills the gap and examines supply
chain and transport logistics. The success of the Wal-Mart model
rests on dynamic innovations in two key dimensions, namely,
all-mode logistics service facilitation and industrial organization
of supply chains, on which existing SCM textbooks have little
coverage. For example, managing transport utility and facility,
such as seaports and airports, has become expected parts of
logistics and SCM, especially in an international orientation;
which, however, are seldom covered in the textbooks on SCM and
logistics. Supply chain and transport logistics as termed in this
book is precisely based on this intriguing interrelationship,
referring to supply-chain centered logistics of enterprise-crossing
characteristics, including both service facilitation and industrial
organization (IO) aspects of logistics. This book also includes the
development of a unified methodological framework which underpins
all the characteristics of the intriguing interrelationship between
supply chain management and logistics. It covers many aspects of
the important and innovative developments well. The book offers a
unique coverage of integrated logistics of navigation, aviation and
transportation. The book not only answers the urgent need for a
book on supply chain management and transport logistics but also
highlights the central role of supply chain logistics in the
emerging fields of sustainable (green), humanitarian and maritime
supply chains and the importance of studying supply chain
management together with transport logistics. It also explains the
difference between supply chain
