Decision making at the enterprise level often encompass not only
production operations and product R&D, but other strategic
functions such as financial planning and marketing. With the aim of
maximizing growth and a firm’s value, companies often focus on
co-ordinating these functional components as well as traditional
hierarchical decision levels. Understanding this interplay can
enhance enterprise capabilities of adaptation and response to
uncertainties arising from internal processes as well as the
external environment. This book presents concepts, methods, tools
and solutions based on mathematical programming, which provides the
quantitative support needed for integrated decision-making and
ultimately for improving the allocation of overall corporate
resources (e.g., materials, cash and personnel). Through a systems
perspective, the integrated planning of the supply chain also
promotes activities of reuse, reduction and recycling for achieving
more sustainable environmental impacts of production/distribution
networks. Thus, this book presents, for the first time, a unique
integrated vision of the Enterprise Supply Chain Planning and
provides a comprehensive account of the state of the art models,
methods and tools available to address the above mentioned features
of the modern supply chain. It offers a comprehensive review of the
associated literature of supply chain management and then
systematically builds on this knowledge base to develop the
mathematical models representing each of the core functional units
and decision levels of the corporation and shows how they can be
integrated into a holistic decision problem formulation. Abundant
illustrations and tables help maximize reader insights into the
problems discussed with several case studies and industry
application also examined. This book is intended as a textbook for
academics (PhD, MSc), researchers and industry decision-makers, who
are involved in the design, retrofit and evaluation of alternative
scenarios for the improvement of the supply chain.
