The focus of Supply Chain Engineering is the engineering design and
planning of supply chain systems. There exists a very large variety
of supply chain system types, all with different goals,
constraints, and decisions, but a systematic approach for the
design and planning of any supply chain can be based on the
principles and methods of system engineering. In this book, author
Marc Goetschalckx presents material developed at the Georgia Tech
Supply Chain and Logistics Institute, the largest supply chain and
logistics research and education program in the world. The book can
be roughly divided into four sections. The first section focuses on
data management. Since most of planning and design requires making
decisions today so that supply chain functions can be executed
efficiently in the future, this section introduces forecasting
principles and techniques. The second section of the book focuses
on transportation systems. First, the characteristics of
transportation assets and infrastructure are shown. Then four
chapters focus on the planning of transportation activities
depending on who controls the transportation assets. The third
section of the book is focused on storing goods, and the last
section of the book is focused on supply chain systems that
consider simultaneously procurement, production, and transportation
and inventory as well as the design of the supply chain
infrastructure or network design. In each chapter, first a model of
the process being studied is developed followed by a description of
practical solution algorithms. More advanced material is typically
described in appendices. This makes it possible to use an
integrated, breath-first treatment of supply chain systems by using
the initial material in each chapter. A more in depth treatment of
a specific topic or process can be found towards the end of each
chapter. End-of-chapter exercises are included throughout. This
text is suitable for several target audiences. The first target is
a course for upper-level undergraduate students on supply chains.
The second target is the use in a capstone senior design project in
the supply chain area. The third target is an introductory course
on supply chains either in a master of engineering or a master of
business administration program, and the final audience consists of
students attending logistics or supply chain post-graduate or
continuing education courses.
