Comprehensively teaches the fundamentals of supply chain theory. This book presents the methodology and foundations of supply chain management and demonstrates how recent developments build upon classic models. The authors focus on strategic, tactical, and operational aspects of supply chain management, covering a broad range of topics from forecasting, inventory management, and facility location to transportation, process flexibility, and auctions. Key mathematical models for optimizing the design, operation, and evaluation of supply chains are presented, along with models currently emerging from the research frontier.

Fundamentals of Supply Chain Theory, Second Edition contains new chapters on transportation (traveling salesman and vehicle routing problems), integrated supply chain models, and applications of supply chain theory. New sections have also been added throughout, including machine learning models for forecasting, conic optimization for facility location, a multi-supplier model for supply uncertainty, and a game-theoretic analysis of auctions. This edition also includes case studies for each chapter that illustrate the real-world implementation of the models presented. It contains nearly 200 new homework problems, over 60 new worked examples, and more than 140 new illustrative figures.
