Summary:

Supply chain management (SCM) is the management of a network of interconnected businesses involved in the ultimate provision of product and service packages required by end customers. Supply chain management spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption. This new book examines a broad range of topics relating to supply-chain management, such as: a political ecology critique of tobacco supply-chain risk management; E-procurement strategy based on E-marketplace in the electronic supply chain; the economics of information in supply-chain management; supplier and customer relationship management in SCM; network design and optimization in SCM; greening the supply-chain; and others.
