Inhaltsangabe

While several supply chain management texts contain a small group of case studies, there has been no single reference solely devoted to a set of supply chain management cases for professors and their students. This contributed casebook fills the gap, offering faculty and students an extensive set of concise and focused cases covering a broad range of modern SCM practices. Drawing on his extensive network of practitioners, Chuck Munson presents more than 20 cases, each with more content, data, and background than cases typically presented in textbooks. Munson's cases address every functional aspect of supply chain management, including:

Procurement
Supply chain design
Warehousing and logistics
Transportation
Supplier management
Distribution management
Supply chain strategy
Inventory control
Information technology
Pricing
Forecasting
Demand management
Supply chain risk
Supply chain coordination

This text's qualitative cases are supported by relevant discussion questions and sample responses; its quantitative cases are supported by completed numerical solutions, and, where applicable, associated spreadsheets.
