Quantitative models and computer-based tools are essential for
making decisions in today's business environment. These tools are
of particular importance in the rapidly growing area of supply
chain management. This volume is a unified effort to provide a
systematic summary of the large variety of new issues being
considered, the new set of models being developed, the new
techniques for analysis, and the computational methods that have
become available recently. The volume's objective is to provide a
self-contained, sophisticated research summary - a snapshot at this
point of time - in the area of Quantitative Models for Supply Chain
Management. While there are some multi-disciplinary aspects of
supply chain management not covered here, the Editors and their
contributors have captured many important developments in this
rapidly expanding field. The 26 chapters can be divided into six
categories. Basic Concepts and Technical Material (Chapters 1-6).
The chapters in this category focus on introducing basic concepts,
providing mathematical background and validating algorithmic tools
to solve operational problems in supply chains. Supply Contracts
(Chapters 7-10). In this category, the primary focus is on design
and evaluation of supply contracts between independent agents in
the supply chain. Value of Information (Chapters 11-13). The
chapters in this category explicitly model the effect of
information on decision-making and on supply chain performance.
Managing Product Variety (Chapters 16-19). The chapters in this
category analyze the effects of product variety and the different
strategies to manage it. International Operations (Chapters 20-22).
The three chapters in this category provide an overview of research
in the emerging area of International Operations. Conceptual Issues
and New Challenges (Chapters 23-27). These chapters outline a
variety of frameworks that can be explored and used in future
research efforts. This volume can serve as a graduate text, as a
reference for researchers and as a guide for further development of
this field.
