Summary:

"Addressing various aspects of supply chain management, this book describes the coordination between various elements in supply chain and optimizes the problem using both conventional and evolutionary approaches. It considers different models in the supply chain such as the transportation model, facility location model, assignment model, and planning and scheduling models. The text presents diverse technologies like RFID tags for detection of flow of particular item in the supply chain network.
